Sacramento makes 'Best Cities' top 10
Sacramento Business Journal
Sacramento ranks eighth on Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine's "10 Best Cities of 2008" list released Thursday.
The list, under the direction of Kevin Stolarick, research director at the Martin Prosperity Institute, concentrated on cities that offer "strong economies, abundant jobs, reasonable living costs -- and fun things to do." It also placed a strong emphasis on cities' "creative class."
"People in creative fields -- scientists, engineers, architects, educators, writers, artists and entertainers -- are catalysts of vitality and livability in a city," Stolarick said.
Houston was ranked No. 1, followed by Raleigh, N.C.; Omaha, Neb.; Boise, Idaho; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Austin, Texas; Fayetteville, Ark.; Sacramento; Des Moines, Iowa; and Provo, Utah.
Sacramento was given high marks for its transformation "into a hub of technology, biotech and energy," as well as its many parks and revitalized midtown "brimming with quirky boutiques, art galleries and more than 1,000 restaurants."

Editorial Note: The high marks shown above, are in areas that required solid leadership from Mayor Heather Fargo. It is clear that Sacramento is moving forward and we need Heather's pragmatic leadership to continue in these rough financial times.
