Wow, November is on the way! Lots of missing links this week.

Existence, not Resistance.

I've been a housing counselor for the Tenant Resource Center since 1991 when I was a volunteer housing counselor, I was the volunteer coordinator for about a year and a half, served on the board of directors and in 1995 (17 years ago!) I became the Executive Director. Things sure have changed over the years . . .

Homeless Issues Committee Unanimously agreed to ask the police and city officials to apologize to the homeless persons who last all their worldly possession on State St. when the police and parks department broke the law and threw their stuff in a dump truck.

I've been sitting on this since last Friday. Partially because it is so unbelievable, but also because I was just swamped with things to blog - there is so much more going on that I also have blog materials for - but this one is just amazing. Just when you need one of those damn police video cameras . . . it wasn't working?

Some day I will perfect the skill of being in two places at once and it won't take me three days to blog one meeting! Here's the final amendments.

Sorry to make you wait. Here's more of the meeting on Monday.

The meeting was a little over 5 hours long, I wasn't even in town for the first 2 and a half hours, but I tivo'd it, so here's what I got.

Carousel Bayrd running the meeting! Packed house! So, briefly . . . .

These are the amendments that the Board of Estimates will be discussing after 18 other items. I was guessing that they will be done with the other items in about 45 minutes, but you never know.

I gotta say, I am just confused this year. Just when I think I know what is going on, I guess I figured out that I have no clue what is going on. Luckily, I can call supervisors and ask . . . but their process shouldn't be that confusing that you need someone to explain it to you.

Also a big budget meeting - on the same night as the city.
