If you look at the county board budget page, it doesn’t appear there is a meeting on Monday 10/30 . . . but there is! And there is a whopper amendment – well, 2 – adding $36M plus interest over 20 years to the $108,000 we’re already being asked to pay for!
Last week they didn’t get much done according to their minutes:
