From the Tenant Resource Center . . . cuz moving day isn't just about where to put your garbage and how to survive the construction.

I have nothing brilliant to say about today's elections except if you want to vote for the most (small p) progressive person in Subeck vs. Clear its a no-brainer, vote for Subeck. To call Clear a progressive is an insult.

Actually, on Saturday morning, when parents are likely to have time to assist with moving there's a mini-marathon in the downtown area, plus Farmers Market and Football Family Fun Day. Sounds like no fun!

From Alder Zellers. Some extra challenges his year! When they did Gorham St. we worked really heard to have them done by August 14th, but Johnson had a few more complications.

Hippie Christmas! Garbage picked up daily downtown, but please, please, please, please, please don;t dump your stuff on our streets.

More than half the meeting take place when only lobbyists (people paid to attend) or people with non-traditional jobs can attend. (i.e. before 5:00)

As far as we know at the moment, expect several changes throughout the week.

This is most of the set of The New Speedway Players from July 26th at the Barrymore during the 50th Anniversary Tour of the Further Bus. If you’re not lucky enough to be going Peoplefest this weekend, this and The Grasshoppers (from the same show) should keep you busy!

One notice from yesterday, 2 from this morning . . . one of them is a "listening session" with 28.5 hours notice! And no agenda. Seriously people! You can't make this shit up.

This is their list of things they may discuss or add to actions listed on the agenda. If you don't see an item here, unless someone shows up to talk about it or it is a public hearing item, they will pass it in one motion around 6:45 and then go back to any items they determined that needed attention.

This is from last Wednesday, but I can't get it out of my mind. Too many needs, so don't tell anyone we can help them? Sounds harsh. But what else are agencies supposed to do, if you spend all your time turning people away, you have less time to help those that you can. I don't have any good answers, except we just keep talking to people to see if there is anything else we can do to help them beyond what they are asking for. Still, its takes a lot of time . . . and patience . . . and then the other needs pile up.
