Media

Here's what they're looking at! They have meetings scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday if need be. I'm guessing they get er done in 1 night. (Sorry if I just jinxed them!)

So, public testimony is over. The Personnel and Finance Committee is the last committee to see the budget before the County Board rubber stamps it on Monday, November 13th. Of the $1.6M of amendments in the operating budget, what will be in? What will be out? They only have $500,000 to spend (unless there is a miracle). So, when will we know?

What is going on . . . it's been months, and month, and months and nothing seems to be happening . . .

Livish . . . mostly hear for the day center purchase, so that will likely be more detailed. But then again, there likely won't be much else they talk about.

It will take a a few months, but its closing.

I'll try to make a long story short . . . speak tonight or forever hold your peace. Or email, email, email and call your elected officials, because after tonight, even though they haven't finished the budget, there is no more chances to speak! (And even tonight I'm not sure you can speak on everything in the budget, it might just be certain items.)

Should be a short meeting, but predicting that is usually the kiss of death. Typing as fast and intelligibly as I can!

Zero what? Zero homeless who are veterans by the end of 2015 and zero persons meeting HUDs definition of chronically homeless by the end of 2016! Members of the Steering Committee are here to present to the council, question is, will the Council show up?

So, some of the members (apparently not all) want to clarify how they feel about the Permanent Comprehensive Day Center. They feel the media didn't report their full position.

Hmmmm . . . not much. They get a Zero 2016 presentation prior to the meeting, they'll talk about paying more for consultants on Judge Doyle Square and then they do have a "committee of the whole" (i.e. without the mayor) meeting to discuss budget.

Well, they're always changing, but this time, for the better! Arrest and conviction records denials won't be as frequent!

Do you realize how much money we have wasted, not to mention how much time we have wasted with Bob Dunn and Exact Sciences? They should have to reimburse the city for the money we have wasted - including opportunity costs!
