    #EyesOnLocalGovernment - This week Gabe breaks down a few items we have flagged for the Sac County Board of Supervisors meeting happening tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11 at 9:30am. Is anyone else having deja vu when it comes to the people asking for money to do shady things? Maybe it’s just us. But here we go again with the Sac Sheriff’s Department working with the feds, taking tax money that should be going to community programs and using it to fund law enforcement, and THEN wanting more money to crack down on the roving epidemic of…cannabis…What year is it?!?    There is also a Jail System Master Planning Community Webinar Thursday, August 27, 2026 5:00 p.m. | Online via Zoom. You can register here.   Catch up before the webinar If you're new to the project—or would like a refresher—you can review previous community engagement materials: April 23, 2026 Community Webinar Presentation Recording January 26, 2026 Listening Session (in-person only; not recorded) Presentation Check our full Running Agenda Tracker for the full breakdown.
