Media

I have written before of the the right wings veiled attempts to privatize public education. I have also pointed out that while they...

That is, have all kinds of showy public meetings and get your project in the media but not really provide the city decision makers with the information they need - and then probably show up with it last minute if at all. The latest example - straight from the bad developer playbook - is the 100 State St. project.

The Power of 10 is an idea developed and promoted by the Project for Public Spaces: http://www.pps.org/articles/the-power-of-10/ From the Project for Public Spaces web site: “At the...

Here's some things you can do

Something seems potentially duplicitous about Chief Wray's letter that came out at 3:30 on the same day this memo came out from Lynn Green, perhaps they just crossed in the mail, but the timing is a little goofy.

I hosted A Public Affair on WORT on Monday and that was the question of one of my callers, who said he works in a food pantry. Seriously, it was.

More head-spinning Maniaci antics and questionable ethics.

So, I posted about the strategy on downtown snow removal and the snow emergency zone (SEZ) and my unhappiness with it. I'm largely not affected, but annoyed as hell. People probably don't understand why, but its because of the attitude of staff about it and their unwillingness to do anything different. Here's a few examples of that attitude, and why I get so annoyed.

Ok - so that list of police calls in Part II was a little bogus and over-exaggerated, but there were some real issues in there. Yesterday, two gems of emails came out from the Mayor's office. Here's the latest on the Mayor's office campaign to rid themselves of the homeless in the building

I told you this was long, be patient. In this post, we have people calling the police when people are singing or dropping the F-bomb! Imagine if we called the police every time someone got in an argument in the city-county building or dropped the F-bomb!

And they are passionate about it - I haven't quite figured out why its so important for them to get the homeless out of the City-County Building, but they are determined.

Or will we build an island for misfit toys to put people on?
