Must have been some deal made behind the scenes. Here's what I know about the almost mayoral veto.

The county has a much more extensive process for the public to participate in, but in many ways, it is much harder as you don't have copies of the amendments they are considering and you can't plan for their schedule if you are interested in something.

Here it is, in all its glory . . . hope you can interpret the alphabet soup without attachments.

HUD wants has some lofty goals of ending homelessness, some communities are taking this task very seriously. HUD is issuing statements about guidance of what they expect to see. In permanent supportive housing, HUD wants us to prioritize chronically homeless persons. Will we?

Are the Alders left almost entirely out of that process?

You only missed one meeting. 21 left to go!

For several things I'm involved in, check it out!

A whole bunch of community and government meetings that you might want to participate in . . .

This is a department that has to have their budget passed by both the city and the county.

Only 13 meetings . . .

This is the insult: At the same time the county is proposing to cut TRC services entirely ($95,000) so they can pay for a day center, they are not going to have the permanent comprehensive day center, but instead proposing to spend $60,000. $30,000 of it they will give to Porchlight to drive people around to various services Nov 1 - March 31, including apparently dropping them off at the Tenant Resource Center. Excuse me, but WTF?

Ok, I went to the meeting last week. Of course, I was the only mere citizen, and there is a really good reasons...
