Dixon is changing faster than most people realize. New residents. New development. New decisions being made in rooms most of us will never see. Good Morning Dixon exists so that when the history of this city gets written, the people who actually lived here had a voice — and someone they could trust to tell them the truth.
City Hall votes. County decisions. Sacramento's latest overreach. You deserve to know exactly what's being done in your name — before it's too late to do anything about it.
The whole strategy of bad governance is to act while people aren't watching. This newsletter watches. Every week. And publishes what it finds regardless of who's uncomfortable.
Founded in 1878. California's oldest fair. The Lamb Capital of the World. This city has more history and more character than it gets credit for — and this publication treats it accordingly.
No donor funded this. No party sanctioned it. No editor softened the edges. One Dixon resident with a newsletter, a conviction, and a refusal to pretend things are fine when they aren't.
California lawmakers killed an effort to stop a per-mile driving tax from stacking on top of the gas tax you already pay. Most Californians shrugged. Dixon residents shouldn't. People here commute — long distances, every day, by necessity, not by choice. This isn't abstract policy. It's a tax on getting to work. Good Morning Dixon will follow this bill every step of the way and name every vote cast against Dixon commuters.
Send Lucas a TipSupervisor Vasquez stepped back citing health. The seat that represents Dixon's interests at the Solano County level is now in play. The next four years of decisions about roads, services, and development start with this race. Good Morning Dixon will cover every candidate with the scrutiny this moment demands.
Send Lucas a TipAmendments to the Zoning Ordinance cleared City Council on Feb. 3 — aligned with California state law, but consequential nonetheless. This is how cities get reshaped without a single voter noticing. Good Morning Dixon reads every agenda, sits through every meeting, and translates every vote into plain language. Nothing slips past.
Send Lucas a TipI started this because I couldn't find anyone else doing it. Not a publication that actually covered Dixon like it mattered. Not one that held City Hall accountable. Not one that explained what Sacramento's decisions meant for the people commuting out of this city every morning. So I built it myself.
Dixon is growing. The decisions being made right now — about zoning, about county representation, about who gets to shape this city's future — will echo for decades. The residents who are paying attention will have a say in those decisions. Everyone else will just find out what happened after the fact. Good Morning Dixon exists to close that gap.
I'm not asking for your trust. I'm going to earn it — one honest Sunday morning at a time. If I get something wrong, tell me. If you know something I should, write to me. This city deserves better than it's been given. Let's build it together.
Write to LucasNo one funded this. No one approved the message. No one is owed anything in return. That independence isn't just a feature — it's the only reason any of this is worth reading.
Comfortable journalism protects comfortable people. This newsletter doesn't do comfortable. It does accurate, direct, and consequential — every single week without exception.
Small cities produce big change when the right people are paying attention. This publication exists to make Dixon that kind of city — starting with an informed and activated community.
Five minutes every Sunday. The unfiltered truth about what's happening in Dixon — from the only publication in this city with nothing to lose and no one to answer to.
