New Sacramento City Council members sworn in. Will ‘good trouble’ follow? [The Sacramento Bee]
Dec. 17 Katie Valenzuela, Mai Vang and Sean Loloee took themselves off mute, raised their right hands to their computer screens and repeated the oath of office. Like so many other things this year, the traditional swearing-in ceremony for three new Sacramento City Council members was done virtually on Tuesday.
Even without the typical crowds and photos with families, the ceremony had several touching and poignant moments. Current members warmly welcomed the new members and shared advice. It’s too soon to say how the council’s new dynamic will truly be during this critical time, however.
MEADOWVIEW – When then-Sacramento City Councilwoman Bonnie Pannell sat down with friend Larry Carr to make a list of people who could potentially be her successor for District 8, he thought he could help her, after all, he had already turned down the request for the position.
Larry Carr says he believes District 8 will be in good hands with the new leadership of Mai Vang on the Sacramento City Council. Carr served in the seat for six years.
Citing health concerns, Ms. Pannell, a longtime City Councilwoman, had privately announced that she would step down as the District 8 representative on June 23, 2014.
Carr was contemplating to run for a Sacramento County Board of Supervisors’ seat but he bypassed that to do other things with his life. Under the circumstances, Ms. Pannell was ill, though relentless.
