Scratch that... We were sorely disappointed when we went into Peet's this morning and were told the promotion had been pulled the day before due to "profit losses," according to one of the barristas. Would've gone to Starbucks if we knew that.
THE BUZZ was pleasantly surprised when we picked up our morning java at Peet's Coffee & Tea in Raley's. Coffee drinks are buy one, get one free (of equal or lesser value) all week long!
A loyal NATOMAS BUZZ reader contacted us this evening to let us know about two purse snatchings in as many days this past weekend at Raley's on Natomas Boulevard.
K.C. tells us the first incident occurred INSIDE the grocery store on Friday afternoon and again the following day.
The thieves loitered around the produce section and then snatched K.C.'s purse from her cart, ran on foot out of the store and down the sidewalk to a waiting car in the Pick Up Stix back parking lot. A second purse was snatched on Saturday after which a foot chase ensued and a license plate number apparently recorded.
The Sac Bee over the weekend reported Goodwill Industries will locate a new thrift store at the old Tower Records site at Watt and El Camino avenues.

THE BUZZ has received several messages asking about police activity late Saturday in the Natomas Park development. Here's the lowdown from Sac PD Capt. Daniel Hahn:
5/2/09
10:10pm, 5000 block of Archcrest, Burglary/Arrest, Natomas Park
We received a call from the resident of the above location about some people breaking into her house. Graveyard Officer Bell arrived within 3 minutes and observed 3 suspects running from the house to a grey buick lesabre. Officer Bell attempted to stop the car but it fled south on Archcrest and west on Aimwell - running the stop sign. When the suspects entered the intersection of Aimwell/N. Bend, they collided with another car. All 3 suspects fled the car on foot. Officer Bell gave chase as the suspects jumped fences. One suspect was found hiding in a garbage can on Lyman Cir. One suspect was located with the K-9 (the dog bit him) in a back yard on Menard. The 3rd suspect was not located. Numerous Officers, Helicopter and K-9 were used to locate the suspects. Some property was recovered that was taken from the house. This is possibly related to a felony assault that occurred in the South area the night before. Anthony Pimentel 9/29/90 was arrested for burglary, conspiracy, street gang enhancement, and resisting arrest. Ernesto Moreno 1/23/87 was arrested for burglary, conspiracy, street gang enhancement, resisting arrest and parole violation.

The City of Sacramento's today released its proposed budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year.
As proposed, the budget addresses a projected $50 million general fund shortfall with reductions in programs, services, and jobs. In spite of budget cuts necessary to balance next year's budget, city officials contend Sactown will continue to be a "full-service city."
The proposed budget will be brought to the City Council on May 19. Adoption of the final budget is expected June 16.
As proposed, the budget totals $875.1 million from all funding sources and supports 4,545 authorized full time positions. The general fund totals $385.9 million and 3,180 authorized full-time equivalent employees with 387 positions proposed to be unfunded. Of those 387 positions proposed to be cut, approximately 188 positions are still filled and at risk of
layoff. The proposed budget closes this budget gap with:
