No $ For Schools? Can Fairfield Learn From Others Without Raising Taxes Again?

Is Fairfield innovative enough to try a new way to raise funds for the Fairfield Suisun Unified School District?

There's a new way to raise money for Fairfield & Suisun public schools without raising taxes.  It can even benefit our Fairfield and Suisun students. They will get a broader international perspective on life, and chance to mix with students from families wealthy enough to send children to US schools from abroad.

The NY Times article discusses what Suisun and Fairfield public schools might learn from other schools that are charging tuition to rich foreigners looking to study in the US. Raising taxes need not be required here.

Cleaning Up Fairfield Requires Good Owner Or Property Manager

Key to cleaning up Fairfield is having good property managers. A good property owner, or Solano property management firm can often weed out Fairfield criminal types looking to rent space. The savvy owner or property manager knows the game. LLW Properties has been well commended by the Fairfield City Council for this fact.

Merging Fairfield & Suisun To Save City Money?

Merging Fairfield & Suisun

Interesting article on cities saving money by merging two or more cities. We don't expect it will happen with Fairfield & Suisun, yet it's an interesting read.

Flying overhead, Fairfield and Suisun are surrounded by the green belt and look like one city.

Fairfield Walmart Hurts & Helps In Fixing Fairfield

Suisun Gains 1 Walmart. Fairfield loses 1 Walmart and Gains A Bigger Walmart.

Former Fairfield City Council candidate Steven Kays explained that studies show Walmart puts many businesses out of business a few years after they move in - but Steven Kays explained this isn't always the case. More Fairfield business are expected to fail. Walmart might be the last nail in the coffin for many mom and pop Fairfield retailers.

New Suisun Walmart just got an important approval. Walmart will now mitigate for some watercourse before Suisun Walmart can start construction. Expect a 182,000-square-foot Suisun Walmart Supercenter by Walters Road Highway 12 in Suisun.

Suisun needs more tax revenue. The Fairfield Walmart by highway 12 and I-80 will close and move to Fairfield's North Texas Street.

The good news is the vacant shopping center on North Texas will come back to more life.

Controlled Fires - Fairfield & Suisun

Today, Oct 6th was the last day of control burns done in sections for sections of Fairfield's marshlands in Fairfield. This darkened our skies above Fairfield and Suisun City the past few days.

Suisun City Council Election Predictions

While Mike Segala raised more money, I bet mayor Peter Sanchez is re-elected, along with Suisun City Council woman Jane Day.

The 2nd city council seat will either be kept by Michael Hudson, or won by Jim Spering's son Don Spering - both are business people.

Economic development relies on people with business backgrounds. Mayor Pete Sanchez has a business degree, and Jane Day is a local business person. Mike Segala is an open-minded entrepreneur. I predict Suisun City will continue to improve in our less than perfect economy. All these candidates are friendly and really care for Suisun. Vote for your favorite Tue Nov 2nd.

Predict 2010 Suisun City Elections

I bet both mayor Peter Sanchez, and Councilwoman Jane Day will get re-elected. Mariko Yamada will win her re-election for state assembly, and John Garamendi will also win. Four years ago, I correctly predicted they would win. This time I'm not predicting who will win the other of the two Suisun Council seats coming up (I know who i want to win the seat). Absentee ballots were just mailed out.
