20 meetings, 5 before 4:00 . . . 9 before 5:00 . . .

So, I started blogging and it wasn't going well because I missed a few things . . . but turns out, no matter how hard I tried, I would have missed that last hour of the meeting because it was shouted down. The board kept going, voting with a thumbs up or thumbs down with staff yelling to them what they were voting on. Conservative superiors were upset they didn't get to debate and in the end were threatening to look into legal ways to declare the meeting invalid . . . and in effect, derail the jail.

BUDGET!

Short week, but still plenty going on.

Things are rotten in Fitchburg and it is time the people there demand more. A few weeks ago, the Mayor of Fitchburg, Jason Gonzalez, considered...

3 meetings.

Their final Personnel and Finance Committee meetings on the budget are Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Budget meeting tonight and possibly tomorrow night.

Here's the info on the meetings I attended regarding this year's county board budget. I'll be live streaming the Personnel and Finance meeting again tonight . . . and hopefully both nights next week.

Tonight and Wednesday is your last chance to publicly testify on county board budget amendments. After that, its emails and phone calls if you want to have your voice heard - including on the final "uber-amendment" that passes finance and the final county board meeting on November 20th - no testimony. Here's what they have to be considered tonight, and "the disappeared" for tonight. I'll be livestreaming tonight on Facebook.
