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.

U.S. Corruption Level Increases Per Survey

The U.S. Government Corruption Level Increases Per Survey

New Zealand, Denmark and Singapore are viewed with having the world’s most honest governments. The international survey didn't cover specific US states, or regions like a Solano government corruption survey.

Government corruption is often more complicated than bribery.  It often involves favoring government contracts, or Solano grants within one's old boy network. Few will take the risks of being a whistle blower.

Luckily government corruption here is much better than say Mexican corruption.

Should Gov Compete Against Private Business?

Fairfield city budget and Solano County budgets are in trouble.  Should they be spending money to compete against private services offering similar help?

The Solano Center For Business Innovation is a new organization being funded by different government agencies in Solano County.  Details on what they plan to do have not yet been made available to us yet per the Sunshine Act.

Solano Center For Business Innovation will be providing at least some of the services already being offered by the privately funded Solano Business Incubator at 707 434-8000, Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce, Vacaville Chamber of Commerce, and private business consultants who earn their living helping Solano small businesses grow and hire more employees. Other privately funded Solano small business assistance organizations watching to see what will come from Solano Center For Business Innovation include Innovation Institute, LLC and Solano Business Directory.

Solano Center For Business Innovation was started by Chuck Rieger.  It's located in the Solano Economic Development office in Suisun.

The hope is that a good synergy will be developed between Solano Center For Business Innovation and the privately funded Solano economic development organizations.

Should Fairfield Fund Creative Arts Center?

Fairfield is debating if they can cover costs for Fairfield's great Creative Arts Center.

There are private organizations that also offer conference room rentals. It's another case of government competing to offer what the private sector already is doing. The building offers conference room rentals, and has a great theater. The Spering family has kindly donated their money for the Missouri theater at their nice privately owned office building in downtown Fairfield for another theater. Still the Creative Arts Center is a nice place to have.

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.

Good & Bad Fairfield Property Owners

Property owners that can't keep their rentals in good condition, should be hiring a Fairfield property management company. If one doesn't know where to turn or is too busy to handle their Solano rentals, they should hire a new property manager in Solano.

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.
