Here's another one, still from last week Monday.

Here's another one, still from Monday, but I am getting closer to getting them all done - I had technical difficulties and no time!

Last week the department heads or their stand-ins were been busy presenting their budgets as presented in the Mayor's budget, there is a public hearing before the council tomorrow night, the amendments for Board of Estimates are due Wednesday at noon and then they will vote at Board of Estimates a week from today. So, if you have something to say about it, tomorrow night is the time!

Memo from the police and fire commission . . . Look for questionnaires and be ready for public comment on October 14th at 6:00 at the Downtown Library.

Only 13 meetings . . .

This is the insult: At the same time the county is proposing to cut TRC services entirely ($95,000) so they can pay for a day center, they are not going to have the permanent comprehensive day center, but instead proposing to spend $60,000. $30,000 of it they will give to Porchlight to drive people around to various services Nov 1 - March 31, including apparently dropping them off at the Tenant Resource Center. Excuse me, but WTF?

You have all heard something about the United Sportsmen deal lately. Some quick background, it was written into law recently by Scott Suder,...

Last night a police officer suggested that one of the things that the alders could do to help with the issue of people with criminal intent (not homeless) hanging out at the top of State St. was to support a loitering ordinance made wanna do a Sue Bauman eye roll. Been here, done this. But it elicited an interesting set of comments on my facebook page.

Departments and staff that can't seem to get agendas in more tan 48 or 72 hours before the PUBLIC meetings. Can't tell if its incompetence or public avoidance, but no matter the motive, its annoying and embarrassing to the city.

Police install almost 40 new cameras downtown in 2013 . . .
