This is the updated timeline for the High Speed Rail Train Station and a few tidbits from the council presentation on Tuesday.

Hmmm . . . major labor group doesn't recommend sheriff for endorsement due to his ICE policy . . . I'm glad someone is...

Wow. They weren't very happy about voting for either of these items, the "comfort" resolution or the review committee.

Due to technical difficulties yesterday . . . here is a 2 day round up!

How'd it go? You're never going to believe it!

Sorry this is slow, more technical difficulties with the web hosting for our blog, making me very, very unhappy.

I waited and did my run down later on Monday, but still . . . more meetings added . . .

Here's the exemption for Willly St Parade and probably Cows on the Square? Or something else?

The Edgewater? I'm thinking probably not. I was at a meeting last night with probably 20 paid non-profit staff in the meeting, and over the next few weeks and months, that will play itself out over, and over, and over. And it makes me wonder, how much of the money we are vying for is being spent in these meetings? Despite efforts to streamline the process, it still seems silly. More complicated than the development process that is getting all the attention, take a peek!

Tonight the Council will be voting on if you should be able to bring your dog to local festivals. I read the newspaper...

Three years ago, I attempted to make some changes to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (nice, they've changed history and removed my name entirely) to allow more use of the $4M that is in the fund. The Mayor opposed those changes. Michael Schumacher removed my name and introduced it last January and still, the changes went no where . . . until now, when the CDA again wants to bend the rules to get the money. $1M of the $4M to create no new units and make current housing less affordable.

Here's a few scraps of news and comments for today.
