This email came to me this morning and I thought it was a good summary of where we are at. Not my words, but someone experiencing it. From his perspective, things look really bleak going in to winter. Not necessarily new, but the promise of change, the hope of things getting better . . . may have made things worse for many.

Or . . ..

The Economic Development Commission recommended a bunch of changes last spring, the council created an ad hoc committee which has been meeting since July to review the recommendations and it seems they are contemplating some changes, but maybe not all those recommended by the Economic Development Commission . . . lets catch up with that conversation. Is the candy store wide open with no one there to guard it? Or are the EDC recommendations falling a little flat.

What more crazy shit could they do? I want someone to apologize for this. I love my facebook friends, check out this awful/crazy press release about Judge Sumi if you haven't already seen it, their behind the scenes explanation of what they really meant and some of the comments from my friends.

.6 BAC . . . should be an automatic ticket to rehab, but its harder than you would think.

Volunteers needed . . . along with laundry facilities, tools, etc. to help recycle Occupy.

Only 1 meal (8 oz) of bluegill a week and the rest of the fish only each once a month.  Don't touch the foam either.  Other lakes haven't yet been tested, but will be.

Tuesday is the night when the Personnel and Finance Committee votes on their final recommendation to the budget, see what they are proposing later today.  County Board meets Thursday.

Parisi that is. The endorsement wars continue . . .

You gotta be REALLY poor to get free clothing from Community Action Coalition, who in the last year cut their hours, now they are cutting who they serve.

Homeless Issues Committee gets a pretty bizarre explanation of what happened. A tale of two very different realities.

Voter ID bill has some changes that go into affect already today . . . so read up on what to expect. This information is for the 48th primarily, but affects everyone.
