I rise today to pay tribute to Sacramentos Sesquicentennial. and to share with my colleagues the proud heritage of my community Sacramento has long served as the gateway to opportunity and an enriched quality of life. In 1849. goldminers and prospectors from all over the country flooded to Sacramento in the hope of striking it rich. Poor immigrants were drawn here by claims of exaggerated wealth. What they found was even more precious: a community whose real wealth was reflected in its spirit. energy. and diversity. Sacramento became a real home to the adventurous newcomers. not merely a stopover for the mines.
