Debate over “strong-mayor” initiative in Sacramento still not settled
The only thing missing from this City Hall soap opera is a man with amnesia. After a political watchdog group said Tuesday that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson has no financial stake in strong-mayor discussions before the City Council, the spokesman for the campaign behind the proposal called for City Attorney Eileen Teichert to recuse herself from all future discussions on the topic. “Her personal politics are getting in the way of doing what’s best for the city,” said Steve Maviglio, a volunteer spokesman for both the mayor and Sacramentans for Accountable Government.
