...Sparks fly in the Mega-battle over the future of Sacramento as both candidates for mayor face off in the first of 3 debates...Fargo Comes out swinging putting Johnson on Defensive...KJ Holds his own but The CAPITAL ELECTOR SCORECARD GIVES FARGO THE EDGE IN CLOSE COUNT...Fargo Reframes Crime issue...Fargo: “The Deficit is fixed”...Johnson Fiscal Plan has holes...KJ on Fargo “out of touch”, “Abdegate (sic) responsibility”, Clams that Fargo “is being investigated for things that are going on citywide”...Fargo on KJ: “No one should steal from the federal government which he is being investigated for now"…

Number two, most cases that go in the U.S. Attorney’s office, there’s no finding. That doesn’t mean you’re guilty. You’re not guilty til proven innocent, number one.
