Cyndi Dow Not Seeking Re-Election
The candidates for City Council have been announced, and 9 people will be seeking seats, 2 of them incumbent. Cyndi Dow, a current City Council member and past president of the Folsom Chamber of Commerce, decided not to see re-election after 4 years of service. Kerri Howell and Steve Miklos, both members of the current city council, are seeking new terms. City growth seems to be the focus point for most candidates. Full Story in the Sacramento Bee.

Mather Field Noise a Sore Spot For Many Residents
Planes flying in to Mather Field over Folsom and El Dorado Hills is a very common occurrence - so common that residents are beginning to speak up about the noise and how low they actually are supposed to be flying. FAA officials and air cargo representatives will be on hand in the next 2 town hall meetings, on September 19th and 26th at Sutter Middle School and the El Dorado Hills Community Services District Pavilion, respectively. Now is your chance to let them know you are concerned with the current flight patterns. More in the Bee.

New Games Now in the Arcade!
Due to popular demand, we've added a few new features to MyFolsom.Com. We've brought back a couple of popular games, the 70's Classic arcade game Asteroids, as well as the 90's cult game Tetris. We've also dug up an interesting photo of the historic truss bridge, before the Rainbow Bridge existed... compare the difference between then and now.

Folsom as an Economic "Hub"
With a little help from Intel, Folsom has become a hub of economic prosperity in the Sacramento region. Approximately 277,000 workers are employed in the Folsom region (Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, etc.), a 57% increase in the last 10 years. Though Folsom did little to attract large corporations such as Intel, analysts feel the "next one" won't be as easy. A 400,000 person / $12 Billion is envisioned in the years ahead. More in Sunday's Bee.Labels: Intel
