Conversation about: Nov. 15 election update: Hansen extends lead to 160 votes

I believe the county can give vote counts by precinct- but it might be a little while before such a report is available.

Conversation about: Voter questions and followups: How the Sac Press debate with Hansen and Yee will work

Goyette will do an excellent job moderating, and having Foon Rhee and Brandon Darnell in the mix will definitely make this a valuable and informative debate. (I'm not Doubtful in the least!)

Conversation about: Farewell to Melissa Corker

That's kind of you to say, Mark. I know Jared and the crew at Sac Press are going to keep the ship afloat bringing the best to our communities. Jared is right, though: YOU and do many others play an active role in helping get the news out... Keep it up!

That's what I say! My husband, on the other hand, thinks I just need better hand-eye coordination to successfully navigate the refrigerator. :-)

Conversation about: TEDx brings 'ideas worth spreading' to Sacramento

I thought Brandon Weber did a good job clarifying, but perhaps an even simpler breakdown will help, Squinter: Pre-conference TEDx event, Thurs. Aug 30, 6:30 pm – 8 pm, $10 TEDx Sacramento conference, Fri. Aug. 31, 9 am – 6 pm, $100 Both events will be at the Crocker Art Museum. Hope that helps.

Conversation about: TEDx brings 'ideas worth spreading' to Sacramento

The TEDx event that the article focuses on is an all-day event, 9 am to 6 pm and tickets are $100. The event listed on the Crocker Website is a smaller "salon" event that will happen the day before TEDx – it is a preview of the event that features videos and a couple live performances. The salon/preview event is $10.

Conversation about: Gun violence 'not the norm' in Midtown, businesses say

The alcohol license transfer is being protested by Vito Sgromo, as noted in a previous Sac Press article. http://sacramentopress.com/headline/72513/Midtown_shooting_death_sparks_response_from_neighbors Mr. Sgromo does not specifically link Harlow's to the murder, rather (as quoted in this article) he said he is protesting the alcohol license because of "increased crime, recently murder, and the over concentration of alcohol licenses" at 28th and 27th and J streets location.

Conversation about: Volunteers needed in search for UC Davis student missing since June

Amanda - I'd like to update the story to reflect the time changes. When you say "go to the search location" do you mean go to the Glendale Lane address?

Conversation about: POLL: Is gun control the answer in the wake of shootings?

So, the purpose of the bill was to ban the device that changed "assault weapons" to "non-assault weapons," making it more difficult for gun owners to side-step the California ban on owning "assault weapons," correct?

Conversation about: City plans parking upgrades and crackdown on disabled placard abuse

No offense taken, Marion. You are correct that there are many parking-related stories to touch on, and I certainly try to cover them. Here is the article I wrote about the pilot program you mention: http://sacramentopress.com/headline/68277/Plan_to_restrict_Second_Saturday_street_parking_causes_stir_in_Midtown As more issues arise, I hope you'll let me know so I can be sure to cover them, too!

Conversation about: Skate Plaza proposed for Garcia Bend Park in south Sacramento

We made a clarification to the caption of the photo to specify that Reichmuth is located in South Land Park.

Conversation about: Facebook fail could hit Sacramento

Perhaps not, but the budget included the potential from that funding source as a means of balancing the budget – in much the same way it predicts and counts on potential property and sales tax revenue. Not receiving an amount anticipated from any of those sources will have a negative impact on the bottom line. To the people affected by any program cuts that might result, it will likely feel like a "loss" as surely as if money had been stolen from the palm of their hand.
