Two intense board meetings, a couple grants and generally just too much work to do, means the blog got a little neglected this week. Not sure its going to get better any time soon.

CDBG Commission will be taking public comments on their draft tonight if you want to add your comments - now is the time!

What passed the Council Regarding Occupy

I hope this is right, I think it is . . .

On Which Committees Will Alders Serve?

What a nice Mayor, not holding the appointments til hours before the meeting.
