Talk:Heather Fargo

Untitled

Please help expand this article with any credible information on Mayor Fargo. I've categorized it and formalized it but it still needs A LOT of work!! Alamar2001 03:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

OK! I agree with you! We should add important things like the Black Chalk ACT score deletion scandal at American River College and Sacramento City College! That's why they moved the Sacramento City Police Department's registration unit to Freeport, right down the street from SCC, where they helped delete ACT scores.

But what Mayor Fargo, her predecessors, and the police themselves forget is that some criminal registration isn't life-long. That's just Penal Code registration, not Health & Safety. That expires, so if someone who had a real good ACT score had to register because of a bad bust or something, and Sacramento politicians all got excited because they thought they had an easy out at the Pig Bowl, and grabbed offices that they're not qualified for because it didn't matter to them if someone had better scores than they did, because that someone got set-up, busted, and deleted, then surprise! That registration ends! It's not forever.

Patino Jail and Padilla Law School. Ummm...

Sacramento's speed trap isn't life long, and Wells Fargo is a crummy bank. Heather is a nice name, though. But not in Sacramento politics.--76.245.120.217 (talk) 04:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The article, as it stands, is not complete. There is some material that is not negative or positive but needs references. As for the negative, well, there is an enormous amount to say. One reading the article as it is at present (March, 2010) would think that her tenure as mayor was nothing special. I believe that the article should be expanded (a little) even though it would not be very pretty. Gingermint (talk) 01:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

The following statements are unfortunately true and can be easily verified. When there is a good citation (being negative, I think it safe to include more than one per statement), they should be put back in the article:

"Overseas Travels Fargo also was severely criticized by government watchdogs for her overseas travel which resulted in her missing 135 days of work and 16 city council meetings over the stretch of two years leading up to her 2008 reelection campaign as reported by the Sacramento Bee. Fargo spent thousands of taxpayer dollars for junkets on climate change, but the Bee reported she had done little as a result of her travels. For instance, Fargo's major recommendation in turning Sacramento into a more green city during her 2008 State of the City speech was to buy more high efficiency light bulbs which many took as a light weight idea especially considering how much time Fargo has dedicated to this issue.

Sacramento's Crime Rate Early on during her 2008 reelection campaign, Fargo seemed oblivious to the fact that Sacramento's crime rate had increased. Her opponent, Kevin Johnson called her "out of touch" to how increasingly dangerous Sacramento was to regular citizens. Fargo proceeded to tell him that his remarks were "stupid" and that she has been concerned with crime ever since she first started working as a community."

There was a great deal written about these things at the time. Also, it should be stated which "government watchdogs" we're talking about. The wording can also be changed. Specifically, "...which many took as a light weight idea especially considering how much time Fargo has dedicated to this issue." Yes, that was true but the wording here is in the present tense and also little inflammatory. The issue of the crime rate before she was Mayor and just after should be brought up and backed with multiple citations. It is, perhaps, the most important part of her story.
