Anything to do with tax payer money like this where they are representing our best interest, then they better make it clear to us when and what they're saying so we can provide our input. <br /><br />Another example of how theses council members think they can do what they want. Time for change and people that are pro Davis or the rest of them, then start filling us in on what they've done well because I'm hard pressed to think of anything that didn't serve their needs over ours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-57769639858677017672013-09-16T16:25:06.590-07:002013-09-16T16:25:06.590-07:00As a taxpayer here in Elk Grove I think the city s...As a taxpayer here in Elk Grove I think the city should have mentioned the absence of these two councilmembers...seeing as our tax dollars make it possible for them to attend such meetings.

Don't forget the Capitol Corridor stops in Davis, about a 10 minute ride from the downtown Sac AMTRAK station, so the distance between Elk Grove and downtown is probably slightly greater. <br /><br />I just hope Cooper and Davis, and especially our high-powered lobbyist can shake some money from the tree. Bera is going to have a tough run of it next year, so time could be of the essence. God knows Detrick or Hume would be loath to lobby for transit funds.

But our leaders didn't want the "those kind of people" coming to EG, so no light rail here. I can see it now, EG offers to build the Amtrak station if they will commit to stopping here. Ha! Grab your wallets and purses, EG leaders are on another shopping spree!
