Should Arden-Arcade Incorporate?

While I live two blocks from the line that divides the Arden Arcade Area from Carmichael, I do have family members, friends and a multitude of clients who DO live in the Arden Arcade Area and WILL be affected by the possible changes coming on.

Actually, as with all things, change is inevitable.

The question is, what kind of change will transpire and how will it affect the tri-zip code residents of the Arden Arcade Area?

As I leave my house each day, I can’t help but notice the numerous yard and street signs that either oppose or support Measure D. This is the Measure which will determine whether Arden Arcade becomes its own city. The November ballot is just around the corner, and with so many other issues to be concerned with, this seems to me to be a big one for those who will feel its impact.

From a real estate perspective, incorporating Citrus Heights was smart. But is it the right thing for Arden Arcade? Who can say for sure?

This Wednesday I’ve asked Matt Gray to be a guest on my show to candidly discuss the matter. While Matt himself is a resident of Arden Arcade, he will also be running for City Council, should Measure D pass.

While it’s not my intention to embark in a debate (I don’t have a vote or a position), it is my intention to provide Arden Arcade residents with honest to goodness facts. I’m doing my homework and looking at both sides, but I want to encourage your questions and concerns as well. Please email me anything you’d like me to ask Matt to address, including your challenging questions: Tamara2@surewest.net.

The show airs live this Wednesday at 10 AM, on Sacramento Smiles. If you have friends or family who perhaps aren’t Internet users, they can call in and listen to the show at 646-929-2557 (long distance charges may apply).

This is the opportunity for residents of Arden Arcade to have their voices heard beyond a simple sign in the yard. Speak up!

Ta Ta For Now,

Tamara
