25 meetings . . . that we currently know of . . .

We don't want the public there meetings today at noon, 2:30 and 3:45, Tuesday 8:15, Thursday 9am and Friday at 12:30. 7 of 18 meetings start before 5pm.

Today there are meetings at 9, 10, and 2, Wed at 7:45, 10 and 11, Thursday 2 meetings at 8 am. One Friday at 3:30. Are these meetings they expect the public to go to? Or actively DON'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND? I find this frustrating. 23 meetings this week, 14 start before 5pm.

Services will continue through October and hopefully beyond! While Madison Homelessness Initiative is backing off after creating and running Project Bubbles for 5 years - volunteers are stepping up with time and money for it to continue, perhaps with changes.

This goes with the FAQs from yesterday.

Complete with a map.

This is the Mayor's version of his spin on his budget. Not nearly as much propaganda as that thing Parisi put out, but spin none-the-less, now the real work begins to find out what is really in the budget. There's always a few surprises that got glossed over.

Meeting starts at 7:00, not 6:30. Also, they will talk about what is on this list, plus what the public shows up to talk about . . .

Of course, the last question is quite concerning to me. Lots of assumptions, no communication that I am aware of. But its all concerning, I sure hope it all works out, wish there had been community discussion on this issue, instead of just an announcement of the changes. You'd think the Homeless Services Consortium would have had a presentation on this.

So, the new system has thrown me off a bit, but I believe this are meetings that were not known over the weekend. 6 updates!

I went to the first one, the presentation was oddly corporate and cheesy, here's the next one, tomorrow.

They have last weeks meeting announcements up . . . :( And what they do have up wasn't there last week when I blogged, but...
