Why Heather Fargo does not deserve to be mayor

The mayor asked the Chief of Police of Sacramento to re-open an investigation on her major opponent. She lamely said "I haven't discussed these allegations at forums or campaign events, and I don't plan to. But, as mayor of Sacramento, the 2007 investigation happened on my watch, and I think these questions need to be addressed."

Any public official should understand that part of the job comes with a standard not to abuse the public trust. This blatant abuse of power is another demonstration why Fargo does not deserve re-election. She claims that she asked for the re-opening because of a news story about the case. Has she ever asked the police chief to re-open any other case? Of course not. Fargo has not been a worthy successor to her predecessor, Joe Serna, who possessed two qualities that she lacks - a vision for the city and a working set of ethics.
