Sacramento Press: Rashad Baadqir was at George Sim Community Center Thursday evening to learn how Mayor Kevin Johnson uses community input. He was one of many citizens who waited patiently to meet with Johnson during the mayor’s “office hours” monthly event.
Short meetings were packed into the three-hour event. By roughly 5 p.m., 56 meetings between the mayor and residents had been scheduled.
Baadqir, a resident in the Pocket neighborhood, said he attended the event to ask Johnson how he uses the input he receives from the public and if community concerns are being addressed.
He said he wanted to learn about the process for handling citizens’ concerns so he “can be more engaged on some of the things that are happening.”
