Balances Act and urge you to put in on the ballot. Regardless of your position on the Act itself, 1/13/2012 you should put the measure on the ballot so that we Sacramentans can continue to discuss and debate the proposal until Election Day and then finally put the matter to rest with a public vote. Refusing to let the public vote is just continuing the petty and toxic politics that has afflicted the Council for too long.

Dear Mayor and Council, I write to urge you to place the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. Sacramento is on the verge of taking off as a city. But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. Its a system that no longer works, and must be changed. Across Sacramento, residents want the opportunity to weigh in on this issue. We have many frustrations - the instability of four chief executives in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress on fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities to other parts of the region and beyond; and the erosion in voters trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan includes many needed reforms to our governance system, ethics and transparency policies, and redistricting process. After three years of public discussion and debate, its time to let voters decide the fate of this issue. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012. Please renew our faith that our government is still and will always be of and by the people. Sincerely, Lea Allen Sacramento, California 95817 lea@quadriga-inc.com

We have many frustrations - the instability of four chief executives in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress on fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities to other parts of the region and beyond; and the erosion in voters trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan includes many needed reforms to our governance system, ethics and transparency policies, and redistricting process. After three years of public discussion and debate, its time to let voters decide the fate of this issue. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012.

You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan includes many needed reforms to our governance system, ethics and transparency policies, and redistricting process. After three years of public discussion and debate, its time to let voters decide the fate of this issue. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012.

Dear Mayor and Council, I write to urge you to place the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. Sacramento is on the verge of taking off as a city. But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. Its a system that no longer works, and must be changed.

But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. It's a system that no longer works, and must be changed. We are frustrated by the many symptoms of a system that is no longer working: the instability of having four city managers in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress in solving fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities; and most troubling, the erosion in voters' trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan addresses the root causes of our city's problems head on by - establishing a new governance structure that promotes greater accountability to voters, a clearer separation of powers, and robust checks and balances; - instituting higher standards for ethics and transparency for all city officials; and - restoring integrity to the redistricting process through an independent commission beyond the influence of elected officials vying to 'pick their voters' The Checks and Balances Act is an excellent proposal that draws on three years of public input and debate on the topic. It represents a new and different approach to charter reform that resolves prior concerns and incorporates feedback from diverse sources.

Dear Mayor and Council, I write to urge you to place the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. Sacramento is on the verge of taking off as a city. But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. It's a system that no longer works, and must be changed. We are frustrated by the many symptoms of a system that is no longer working: the instability of having four city managers in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress in solving fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities; and most troubling, the erosion in voters' trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan addresses the root causes of our city's problems head on by - establishing a new governance structure that promotes greater accountability to voters, a clearer separation of powers, and robust checks and balances; - instituting higher standards for ethics and transparency for all city officials; and - restoring integrity to the redistricting process through an independent commission beyond the influence of elected officials vying to 'pick their voters' The Checks and Balances Act is an excellent proposal that draws on three years of public input and debate on the topic.

But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. Its a system that no longer works, and must be changed. Across Sacramento, residents want the opportunity to weigh in on this issue. We have many frustrations - the instability of four chief executives in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress on fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities to other parts of the region and beyond; and the erosion in voters trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan includes many needed reforms to our governance system, ethics and transparency policies, and redistricting process.

We are frustrated by the many symptoms of a system that is no longer working: the instability of having four city managers in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress in solving fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities; and most troubling, the erosion in voters' trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan addresses the root causes of our city's problems head on by - establishing a new governance structure that promotes greater accountability to voters, a clearer separation of powers, and robust checks and balances; - instituting higher standards for ethics and transparency for all city officials; and - restoring integrity to the redistricting process through an independent commission beyond the influence of elected officials vying to 'pick their voters' The Checks and Balances Act is an excellent proposal that draws on three years of public input and debate on the topic. It represents a new and different approach to charter reform that resolves prior concerns and incorporates feedback from diverse sources. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012. Please renew our faith as voters that our government is still - and will always be - of and by the people. Sincerely, ,

But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. Its a system that no longer works, and must be changed. Across Sacramento, residents want the opportunity to weigh in on this issue. We have many frustrations - the instability of four chief executives in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress on fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities to other parts of the region and beyond; and the erosion in voters trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan includes many needed reforms to our governance system, ethics and transparency policies, and redistricting process. After three years of public discussion and debate, its time to let voters decide the fate of this issue. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012. Please renew our faith that our government is still and will always be of and by the people. Sincerely, Tom Ratigan Sacramento, California 95831 tomratigan@sbcglobal.net

Dear Mayor and Council, I write to urge you to place the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. Sacramento is on the verge of taking off as a city. But, we're held back by an outmoded way of running our city set up 90 years ago for a smaller, less complex and sophisticated city. Its a system that no longer works, and must be changed. Across Sacramento, residents want the opportunity to weigh in on this issue. We have many frustrations - the instability of four chief executives in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress on fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of resources and opportunities to other parts of the region and beyond; and the erosion in voters trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan includes many needed reforms to our governance system, ethics and transparency policies, and redistricting process. After three years of public discussion and debate, its time to let voters decide the fate of this issue. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012. Please renew our faith that our government is still and will always be of and by the people. Sincerely, Christine Endres Sacramento, California cendres25@gmail.com

We are frustrated by the many symptoms of a system that is no longer working: the instability of having four city managers in 18 months; the chronic lack of progress in solving city-wide fiscal, economic and civic challenges; the steady loss of talent, resources and opportunities caused by a slow and unresponsive City Hall ; and most troubling, the erosion in voters basic trust in city leaders to follow the will of the people. You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan addresses the root causes of our citys problems head on by establishing a new governance structure that promotes greater accountability to voters, a clearer separation of powers, and robust checks and balances; instituting higher standards for ethics and transparency for all city officials; and restoring integrity to the redistricting process through an independent commission beyond the influence of elected officials vying to pick their voters The Checks and Balances Act is an excellent proposal that draws on three years of public input and debate on the topic. It represents a new and different approach to charter reform that resolves prior concerns and incorporates feedback from diverse sources. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012. Please renew our faith as voters that our government is still and will always be of and by the people.

You have the power to set a better course by placing the Checks and Balances Act on the June 2012 ballot. The plan addresses the root causes of our citys problems head on by establishing a new governance structure that promotes greater accountability to voters, a clearer separation of powers, and robust checks and balances; instituting higher standards for ethics and transparency for all city officials; and restoring integrity to the redistricting process through an independent commission beyond the influence of elected officials vying to pick their voters The Checks and Balances Act is an excellent proposal that draws on three years of public input and debate on the topic. It represents a new and different approach to charter reform that resolves prior concerns and incorporates feedback from diverse sources. I strongly urge you to put the Checks and Balances Act before the voters in June 2012. Please renew our faith as voters that our government is still and will always be of and by the people.
