Last Chance to speak to County Human Services Budget (Part II)
Who knows what amendments might come up tonight or at the county board, you need to be psychic in order to testify on the county budget apparently. They will tell you after you testify, if they let you, what they will be voting on, maybe.
County Week Ahead
Government grinds along . . . budget being hammered out.
Not Really the City Week Ahead
There are bound to be multiple meetings missing from this list, but this is what they say it the week ahead in the clerk's office, based on what the staff have given them.
Last Chance to Speak to Human Services Budget
We finally have the Health and Human Needs amendments available to the public, and this will be the last time we get to speak, even tho it is the first time we actually have amendments and can see what they are voting on. Sigh . . .
Judge Doyle Square Catch Up
At noon today on WORT I will be talking with Alder David Ahrens, School Board Member TJ Mertz and Activist Susan Pastor about why we all should care about another big building or two downtown on the two blocks where the municipal building and the government east parking ramp is.
You’re banned!
Ok, I asked for information on the collective community ban . . . and got a whole lot more than I expected.
A tale of two local governments . . .
I knock the city council for many things . . . but they are light years ahead of the county board.
Anti-Democracy County Board Members
A few members of the county board have been openly discussing their disdain for the public and the message is getting through loud and clear for me. This year's budget has been the worst! I don't know why they are so opposed to public input, but its kinda disgusting.
“Collective Community Ban”
Hey - I got an idea, can we collectively ban a few people I don't like from my community. For failing to use common sense . . .
Lice . . . A week later . . .
Follow up to this, not much has changed. Apparently, its a public health problem enough to send out an email . . . but not enough to actually solve the problem. I don't get it
What the City Council Will Talk About Tonight
Unless we show up and have the at least listen to us on other topics . . .
City Meetings Added in the last 28 hours . . .
I am so annoyed by this . . . 4 so far . . . including the FREAKING ETHICS BOARD! There is no hope. The disregard towards the public is so engrained in the culture of city hall after Mayor Dave it is pathetic. Where are the watchdogs to make this better? We need Alder Satya Rhodes-Conway back!
