Seattle sigs
Sacramento Taxpayers Opposed to Pork announced on Tuesday that the 18,000 or so signatures collected in June and July—with funds provided by Seattle Supersonics No. 1 fan Chris Hansen—have been delivered. “[A]ssuring that the measure will make the ballot,” according to @voteonthearena on Twitter. Hansen had said he would try to block the signatures. + 18,000
Drive-through bandit
An unidentified fast-food customer simply had to have it his way. On September 11, Sacramento Police Department logs say the individual reached his hand through the drive-through window of a restaurant on the 2700 block of Broadway. There’s a Taqueria Maya’s, Subway and Carl’s Jr. all within that vicinity. Officers stopped their suspect nearby, and say he had the tip jar from another restaurant in his possession. While police didn’t name the suspected thief, Scorekeeper suspects it’s the Hamburglar. – 99 cents
Stab city
Is violence becoming more brazen in Midtown, or should we just chalk this one up to the date? Midafternoon on Friday the 13th, a man in his 40s was stabbed numerous times outside of the Safeway on 19th and S streets. Still no info on the attacker. – 13
Cohn does Twitter
Long-standing East Sacramento Councilman Steve Cohn is running for Roger Dickinson’s Assembly seat. And, like any good campaign, he now he’s recently launched a new Twitter account for it. But Scorekeeper questions the judgment behind his first post: “Cohn campaign learned today it was mistaken in believing it had the endorsement of Mayor Kevin Johnson.” OK, so that’s your campaign’s introduction to the Twittersphere? Or, as local political consultant Andrew Acosta chimed in: “Did the campaign ask for the endorsement from KJ and not get it OR did you get it and not want it?” No tweets since then for @cohnforassembly. – 7
