Last week it was the police policy and procedure committee, this week it is the first meeting of the Government Structure workgroup (and a few others). So, here’s the meetings that were added yesterday afternoon. I guess we’re getting better, they all have at least 48 hours notice. An improvement? These baby steps are killing me tho . . . I have a suggestion or two about public outreach . . . but I won’t be there because I rescheduled a work meeting to this time because I didn’t know about the meeting.
