What we talk about
There's no local newsroom covering West Sacramento day to day. So we're doing the next best thing — sitting down and talking about it, neighbor to neighbor. City government, schools and youth, local businesses, the Bridge District, the Port of West Sacramento, and the people building things on the west bank.
The chair is open.
There's a chair in the studio, and we want West Sac in it. If this city is part of your story, you have a seat. Lived here forty years? Moved here last month? Run a business, coach a team, teach a class? Pull up a chair.
Matt — your hometown moderator
West Sac resident since 2001 and a local business owner of 21 years. His job is to open the door, ask the question, and get out of the way. The show belongs to the people in the chair.
The ground rules
- No endorsements. Ever.
- No sniper guests.
- Decisions get questioned. People don't get taken down.
