Mayor’s Office War on the Homeless, Part II

Wednesday Round Up

Nothing about who is running for governor or which websites went black yesterday here, just local stuff that I can find!

Falk Announcing for Governor. Really? (Updated)

I've been listening to Rob rant for the last 20 minutes about what a bad choice this is . . . and of course, I'm not a Dem insider so I don't know what is going on but . . . this is bad for poor people
