Two Meetings This Week on the Bench Ordinance

Latest “Update” on Judge Doyle Square/Exact Sciences

Board of Estimates had a special meeting yesterday to get an "update" on Judge Doyle Square. They give us very little information in public . . . then go into closed session. Who knows what they are talking about in all these closed session meetings (every Board of Estimates meeting has gone into closed session on this matter), but I guess we'll find out when they finally ram this thing down the public's throat, with little public input and about 3 days notice of the final "deal" they have worked out.

Fo’ Mo’ Meetings

King Soglin Declares He’s Removing Art Installation at the top of State St.

Chief Koval requested it. Apparently art deigned to engage the public is attracting the wrong type of public and now its bad art to be removed. Note to artists: Your art must only attract the approved kind of people. The second piece of City installed art ever to be decommissioned if I have my facts correct. No public discussion, no public input, just gone!

What’s next on the “Bench” Ordinance?

NOTE: I will update this as I hear more info . . . changing questions marks to certainties. Well, the council introduced it last night, Mark Clear attempted to not vote on it being referred. Instead of (being allowed to) killing it quickly, it's now referred to 5 committees. Find out where, when? and who.
