If we can quantify the returns to the state for an $80 million investment in a sports arena, why isn't it possible, with "big data" technology, to insist on obtaining a similar metric before approving $1.3 billion of highway bonding in the Governor's proposed budget?

This as good as I could do while sitting there. Updates coming.

Lots of ALRC recommendations that are new . . ..

A 4-4 vote. Since it ties, it fails. 4 quick observations this morning.

Only 4 meetings during the day, but only 11 meetings this week.

Here's 75% or so of what they will talk about this week. 5 meetings before 5:30, sigh. I won't make most of them.

Such weird mixed messages from him. And I think he;s getting bad information. Here's his latest, not his greatest. After saying the ONLY place you can sleep outside is the City-County Building, he know says that people can't sleep there either.

Late Update: Most transportation issues have been pushed off until next week.  JFC ended up passing a motion with reduced cuts to the Stewardship...

I don't know how I missed the first budget meeting on the 13th, but here's the other upcoming meetings, including the budget meeting tonight.

Last night there was a joint committee meeting between the Community Development Block Grant Committee, Community Services Committee, Committee on Aging and Early Childhood Care and Education Committee. 3 of the 4 didn't have quorum, so it was just a meeting of the Community Services Committee. They discussed the new funding process for non-profits and for the first time I saw, gave us the time line.

Agency presentations being tonight at 4:30 . . . I have no clue.

You knew they were coming .. . . . . nothing seems to change . . . .
