After formally endorsing plans for an ambitious new Bay Area City in Solano County this week, Vacaville's vice mayor is in the hot seat after it was revealed that he had earlier sought to associate his home loan business with the developer's campaign for the project known as California Forever.
My endorsement was given purely based on my professional and personal belief that this is a good project that will help thousands of Solano families reach the dream of homeownership.' Ritchie could not be reached for comment by The Times. On Tuesday, the Bay Area tech leaders behind the California Forever campaign held a news conference to announce that they had turned over more than 20,000 voter signatures to the Solano County registrar in support of putting the issue before local voters.
