The Real City of Stockton
The reality of living in the City of Stockton California. A City in crisis, out of control crime, out of control misspending, unemployment, racially diversity, potential for economic growth. No longer the All American City, but recipients of several unsavory titles.

The City and Union negotiated Thursday night, but was unsuccessful in reaching an agreement, according to News10, they became deadlocked. However, seven firefighters decided to retire early, others were willing to take demotions, instead of laying off the fire fighters. Apparently this was not enough, so the City proceeded to give notice to the fire fighters who were being laid off.

Same Cowards-Same Dirt-Same Uselessness
The most recent shooting of a of a 66 yro man in Stockton, just goes to show you the cowards that we have in this city. I have never wanted to judge or be potitcally incorrect, instead I have wanted to try and be balanced in my views. However, this recent shooting, and the shootings that have occurred over the week end, and the robberies where the scumbags robbed and then sexually assaulted an 18 year old, makes me sick.
