(No Link) City Week Ahead

I’m a little concerned after last week that even when you think you know what the agenda is, a committee may or may not act on something on the agenda and if you are concerned they may take action, you better show up. That partial bus fare increase last week shook my confidence a bit. Here’s what I think is coming up this week. To be fair, I did put the bus fare increase on the week ahead, but I myself didn’t believe there would be any action and if you look at the item and the stuff in legistar, there is no indication that they might still raise some fares.

Anyways . . . moving on . . .
