Sorry, there was a pause for budget . . . which I still haven't finished blogging, but I will throughout the week . . . which I have off! Yay!

I hope alders are paying attention, they got less than 48 hours notice of how it will be and what their homework is.

Former MCAD/201 State Treasurer speaks up . . . Gives the Council his two cents on the Overture . . . a kinda grim outlook. But hey, that's his job, to be the fiscal conservative voice, perhaps they should listen. Prepare to have this conversation again in a few years, he says.

7 meetings . . .

Maybe. We'll consider it.

Invest in Rail

Could this be a trend? Is it back?

Adds express service to/from Madison. Not clear if this is an added stop at Kelley's Market on W. Washington or if they are just moving their stop, again . . . . I can hardly wait to see what their "guest services specialist" will do for these bus riders - but hey, there will be wireless, electrical outlets, extra legroom and reserved seats. Maybe they can manage to have ticket sales?

This one took a little longer almost an hour.

Here's the the lovely details of the few amendments made from the floor. . . they passed their operating budget in 35 minutes. No public testimony.

Tenant Resource Center (TRC) 30th anniversary fundraisers are done, TRC seminars are done, TRC awful budget options are done, Social Justice Center big event to unveil the Nan Cheney Community Room is done . . . now, more time for blogging. The round up returns! (Actually, one more event for TRC, the one year anniversary of our Milwaukee office. December 3rd, 5 - 7, Pabst Brewery.)

Four RTA meetings this week. . . . and they might finish their budget tonight.
