Have you ever felt frustrated at a blight problem in the community, but done nothing to report it? Be honest. I’ve personally been in that boat many times.

How do we report stuff to the City anyway? If you didn’t know, the City of Rancho Cordova has a system called “My City Hall Online” (aka “Comcate”), where residents can report things like graffiti or code violations, make suggestions, ask questions, and basically interact with City Hall. My take and experience is that the more we communicate with our city, the greater the chances are for obtaining the results we want to see.

I wanted to encourage us to use this sytem and do what we can to help our community grow in the right direction. Let’s keep dealing with some of the issues in our community by paying attention around us and definitely keeping the channels of communication open with City Hall.

Lowering Your Taxes: Don’t Get Ripped Off

Thumbnail image for Lowering Your Taxes: Don’t Get Ripped Off

Have you received a letter? My household has been mailed two so far claiming that XYZ Company will help me lower my property taxes if I send them $95.00 or $179.00. Fellow residents, may I offer some advice? Don’t waste your money. We all want to pay lower taxes, especially in a declining market, but as a tax payer you can do this for free (or at least pay someone to help you when the time is right – only if you need to).

Did you know that the Folsom Cordova Unified School District has a program to assist homeless students? Did you know that last year they served 680 students within the district? It is hard to grasp that so many local kids are struggling with something as basic as a stable place to live. It’s the truth though and so the aim of Project 680 is to partner with the office of the District Liaison for Homeless Services to find simple and relevant ways to support these students.

The Art of Hospitality

What is the best dining experience you’ve ever had? A few years ago I ate at a joint in San Francisco called Asia De Cuba. This fusion restaurant had spectacular ambiance and the feel of a hip club with its dim lights, pulsating beats, trendy décor, and exotic menu. Our group enjoyed four hours of eating and sitting together and we were never rushed to leave. The bill was substantial, but the unique experience was worth the high cost.
