Welcome to the Sacramento Underground

Good evening fellow Sacramentans!

This blog and corresponding media and email are created as a central location where discussion, analysis, and ideas about Sacramento politics can be thrown about with impunity. The source writers for this blog will all be posting anonymously with the nom de plume Samuel Brannan (chosen because he was one of the founders of the City of Sacramento).

Don't mistake anonymity for irresponsibility.  We encourage all of our writers to source and attribute statements wherever possible, to exercise reasonable restraint (or qualification) when information is not confirmed, and to present as thoughtful an argument as possible given all available (and known) information.

If you would like to contribute anonymously to this blog, please email SamBrannanSacramento@gmail.com - you can email an article to be published under our name, or request to be a writer.  Those wishing to write for Sacramento Underground will need to provide several writing samples, demonstrate an understanding of the subject matter, and agree to preserve the anonymity of all contributors.

Frequency of posting will be subject to the availability of the writers.  Our hope is to begin with weekly postings and encourage contributors to help bring that to daily commentary.

Lastly, the scope for this project covers all areas of the City of Sacramento.  We are largely limited to political and economic topics; however, other subjects of broad interest to one or more Sacramento communities may be published.  Articles that extend beyond the limits of the City will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  No national or statewide issues that do not directly relate to the City of Sacramento will be accepted.
