SACRAMENTO, CA - Sacramento city leaders will have to make some very difficult budget choices.

A proposed budget plan includes $39 million worth of cuts, which could put 366 positions on the chopping block.

In the Parks and Recreation Department, all but three pools and all but three community centers could face closure, which could eliminate 22 positions.

In Sacramento's police department, 98 sworn officers could be cut, but a grant could save 35 of those officers.

"We have been cut to the bone," Sacramento Police Officers Association Mark Tyndale said. "There's just no more room for cuts in the department. They talk about cutting non sworn people-- dispatchers, crime scene officers-- and that's not acceptable."

The Sacramento City Fire Department could be forced to lay off 49 firefighters and increase the brownouts from two to six.

The proposed cuts on the table are up for discussion and no doubt, a lot of debate.

SACRAMENTO, CA - The jumping frog tradition made famous by Mark Twain in the 1800s lives on at the State Capitol.

The 37th annual Capitol Frog Jumping Contest will take place Wednesday, May 4 on the East Lawn.

Twain penned his short story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," in 1865 about a champion jumper who could catch flies on command.  Here's an excerpt:

SACRAMENTO, CA - Nearly two dozen Sacramento-area business and corporate leaders gathered late Thursday morning to make one of the biggest sales pitches of the year. 

The customer: the NBA. 

The pitch: all the abandoned plans and tepid support are in the past, and now the region's business community is ready to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to keeping the Sacramento Kings in Sacramento. 

The centerpiece of that pitch came from Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who announced that he has secured $9.2 million in new financial commitments from area companies should the league deny the Kings' owners request to move the team to Anaheim.

"If this team is staying we want to be able to outreach to our community, our ticket holders, that we want them to renew and we want other people to start coming to games," Johnson said.
