Ok, when we left off, he was about to go into a rant/lecture.

I can't believe how irresponsible Soglin is being in talking about the Occupy site. I wish he had visited it to see for himself and taken the time to meet some of the people staying there and find out about who they are, so he'd know how offensive his statements are

The Homeless Issues Committee has had two meetings and voted on three different resolutions so far . . . and as expected, the Homeless Issues Committee is supportive of solutions for various homeless issues . . . for the most part. The interesting thing is the people on the committee that voted against the solutions.

So, here we go . . . mostly live blogged . . .

It's much less complicated and much more certain. And by the way, no one showed up to talk about the city budget last night at Board of Estimates. Not. one. person. So, all is well?

It's a 5th Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so short week.

I continue to be surprised by the numbers of homeless people on the streets, hidden all over the city. Perhaps some of the most compelling stories come from the young people - many of them out there on their own. Check this out.

Ugh, I can't. Board meeting. But you should really go . . ..

a.k.a. Motor Equipment for the old-timers like Verveer and the Mayor! :)

Third year in a row, worst plan yet.

Minor tweaks to the City County Building rules that probably won't do much different than what is already happening in the building - except make people feel like they are doing something. Of course, it all sounded good last night, but lets see how it gets implemented.
