Given the new perspective I have gotten working on the ground with homeless persons in the last few years, I don't even know where to begin with the list of things I am grateful for - because just the smallest things we all take for granted - like being able to change out of wet socks when I step in a puddle and then warm up - have all taken on new meaning. And with the recent Race to Equity report, I've relearned what a privilege it is to be white in this community. So I can't really make that list, but here is one good example of what I am thankful for, for so many reasons.

I sat through quite a few meetings and took a lot of notes, but this is what it all boils down to. If you don't like their ideas, you can show up tomorrow (Wednesday) at 4:00 in Room LL110 in the Municipal (Post Office) Building (215 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd) to let them know. They send the notice of this meeting out late yesterday.

Information deficit, makes it hard to know what might be of interest, here's my two cents.

This time, its the state. Is the High Speed Rail meeting tomorrow about the corridor or the station? Here's another contradicting message from the top.

The Young Gifted and Black Coalition presents a day of Political Education and protest - Tomorrow!

I guess we'll find out today.

Tomorrow is the Big Day: The Big Share! An opportunity for us to demonstrate support of nonprofits building a fair, just community and protecting our environment. The Big Share includes lots of great Community Shares of Wisconsin Organizations, including the Tenant Resource Center.

Jenni Dye has amendments for Health and Human Needs tonight, I expect that the same amendments might be attempted at Personnel and Finance as well.

I started asking the staff who can't get their agendas to the clerk's office by noon on Friday . . . why?

In case the wind takes a toll on the trees and properties around you . . .

Four RTA meetings this week. . . . and they might finish their budget tonight.

Back at it! As the calendar rolls into December and election season officially starts! I wonder how many meetings get added this week because they got lost in the shuffle during the short week last week.
