4 meetings . . .3 days this week!

20 meetings! About half are before 5:00 and about half are after. Which ones do they want to make sure the public doesn't show up to?

31 city meetings this week . . . 31 in 4 days. I couldn't find 5 of the agendas.

Or perhaps "profiling"? The outreach worker (a high school teacher) was kicked out of the library. Has there been a change in policy? Homeless Services Consortium (paid) agencies reserve rooms in the library during business hours and don't offer a fraction of what (volunteer) Friends of the State St. Family offer for people living on the streets. I'll let Tami Miller explain . . .

Form the East Washington Business Coalition . . . do you think these are "reasonable"?

We learned this week that Officers Scott McConnell and Dean Baldukas were disciplined for their online comments in a petition presented to the Common Council and four other officers the department refuses to identify were disciplined for their roles in the whiteboard incident suggesting how to make homeless persons move from the top of State St.

All the alders pulled off was Steve King wanting to discuss ending the Commmunity Gardens Committee, but you know there is a whole lot more on the agenda. They will pass nearly everything in one vote . . . unless the public shows up to speak or an alder pulls another item off a the meeting. Otherwise, they will pass major legislation without discussion . . . until budget season next year, then they will complain they never discussion anything. Gee, why might that be?

We actually have people running for local office!!! As of today, we have TWO school board races and people have only had 6 days to file!!

3 meetings, 2 today.

No time to go back and grab the pieces I missed, but you can watch the video here if its really important to you. Otherwise, I got most of it.

24 meetings, only 2 agendas I couldn't find. And only 6 meetings before 5:00. :)

Two meetings coming up where this will be discussed and a new version of the ordinance is out!
