It was a "hot mess" as the kids say! So many issues with AB561/SB466 were raised during testimony yesterday, that they have to redraft the bill or make multiple amendments to clarify and fix unintended consequences.

Also, did you know there are two county board supervisors running for election this spring? I know they plan to hold a special election to fill the three empty seats (Mary Kolar - District 1, Jeff Pertl District 17, Jenni Dye District 33), but when?

More jail updates, county hiring outside council to sue over PFAS cleanup, lots of routine items.

Well, don't swim in the beach, swim in the water, or wait, don't do that either, check the list first! Here's how they...

Occupy got their eviction notice and the county board's Personnel and Finance Committee took the operating funds for the Homeless Day Center out of the budget. Always more work to be done and I knew the steps forward lately were just too good to be true. So, what's next for Occupy and the County Board?

Here's some things you can do

I'll give them credit, it's a tough topic, much harder than approving a development or a new siren system. And there's no easy fixes, but there are things you can do to at least not make things worse, and get good information to make good decisions.

I was going to go to the Executive Committee tonight and listen in, but the meeting was cancelled.  But then I got curious!

Not quite finished, not sure if I'll get there today!

I'm surprised by the endorsements coming out, since many are waiting til after the primary.

Compromise reached (?) on mental health and substance abuse funding so no veto override, lawsuit (?) over Cardinal-Hickory line and routine items.

I keep trying to pay attention and find out if the tenant laws are changing and I guess I'm going to be on pins and needles again all day . . . and all night . . . again . . .
