Davis A vote for Don Saylor is permission for him to leave us in the lurch to the tune of a quarter-million dollars when we can least afford it.

Slow results? Here’s why

Special to The Enterprise On the evening of the 2004 primary election, an irate Davis voter e-mailed me to reprimand me.

Cass Sylvia deserves your vote

Davis With incredible skill and compassion, Cass Sylvia has served as public guardian for Yolo County for 11 years. For someone running for that office to demean SylviaÕs qualifications with a barrage of derogatory statements filled with a blatant disregard of facts is unconscionable.
