Wiki/April Fool's Day, 2010

The 2012 City Council Election is on June 5, 2012. In addition to choosing three out of five candidates for City Council, voters will decide on a renewal of the Parks Maintenance Tax, Yolo County Superior Court Judge, a state tax on cigarettes, and many other things (this is our presidential primary). There has already been some controversy in both the Council race and the Judge's race, with attack mailers gracing Davisites mailboxes. Get informed and don't forget to vote!
