Media

On January 7th, I testified about what issues the police policy committee should talk about. After being cut off by the chair, but allowed to speak by the body (1st person not held to three minutes, and only 2 or 3 people spoke), I was asked to put my testimony in writing (yeah, cuz I have time for that). I did . . . but then couldn't figure out who to send it to, so it sat in my computer until yesterday when I sent it to the committee members I could find an email address for and one of the staff I had an email for, but not the primary staff cuz I couldn't remember his name or find it quickly. Remember, they are meeting tonight, notice came out on Monday.

Agenda came out yesterday. Yeah, 2.5 days notice . . . you know how I feel about things like that. These bodies make it near impossible for them to get media coverage or to have public engagement.

You do, you might just not know it, yet. They will be deciding where $3.8M of the $5.5M (or more) in room taxes collected will be spent.

If you live in District 11, listen up. In just a few weeks, the City Council will be deciding who your Alder is until next Spring!

You'll get what you get . . . a slightly less detailed version, unedited. You get what you pay for.

Not cancelled. Possible Absences: Ald. Barbara McKinney, Ald. Amanda Hall

Another Stolen Post: Thanks Nino Rodriguez!

Voting will be tricky for many this spring, here's the early voting rules.

Here's an update from Richard Russell . . .

Watch for cancellations as well. How annoying is it that the police policy committee can't get their agenda out on time, its like they don't really want people to participate. I know they cut me off . . . but not others.
