Sacramento Mighty Oaks is part of the Certified Outreach Network for Covered California. They will be holding a series of educational events at various libraries throughout Sacramento.
Generally posts related to Sacramento history or regional events that I may have covered.
Sacramento Outpatient Surgery Cost Comparisons
In an effort to shed a little light on the range of outpatient surgery costs a health care consumer might have for a particular procedure, Anthem Blue Cross in association with WebMD created a cost comparison website. As a patient, you have more incentive to carefully consider the lower priced options if you have a high deductible plan.
Comparing Delta Tunnels to Deep Water Shipping Channel
The Sacramento Deep Water Shipping Channel is similar in dimensions to the Delta Cross Canal. Its overall length makes it comparable to a Peripheral Canal and the construction on par with the the tunnels. The Port of Sacramento, with the necessary deep water shipping channel, turned out to be a colossal waste of tax payer money. Instead of acquiring more private land for the tunnel project, the state should figure out some way to use the deep water shipping channel easements and land.
Sacramento Pride Parade features Religious Pride
Sacramento’s Pride Festival for 2013 was kicked off by a colorful parade down N Street. In addition to the local contingent of LGBTQI support and commercial services participating in the parade, Sacramento’s religious organizations were well represented.

Tunnel or Restore the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta
My question to those opposed to the tunnels or canal is, “Restore the delta to which point in time?” Our current Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta is a 20th century artifice solely constructed for agricultural with no thought of the ecology.
Pan and Maviglio: greed over public service
Sacramento Assemblyman Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) and political operative Steve Maviglio have demonstrated with their recent actions that they put greed ahead of ethical considerations.
Folsom to Granite Bay: Sacramento, Placer and Nevada Railroad

Unfortunately, the Sacramento, Placer and Nevada Railroad was cut short by an even larger publicly financed railroad know as the Central Pacific. (Click on the photos to enlarge, full gallery of images at end of post.) Iron horse for commerce As soon as the Sacramento Valley Railroad […]
Science, Religion and the Sacramento Experience
This is the type of guy I am: I will mix three different types of breakfast cereal to get the perfect blend of crunchy and sweet. (Yeah, I know, I’m a real rebel) This is also the type of church I want to attend: a balanced blend of tradition, intelligence and reality. As you may […]
