Homeless Issue Committe Chair Resigns

I don’t blame him, but its a real loss. When good people are forced to walk away to stop contributing to the farce . . well, they make the right decision, but the whole community loses.

From Michael Basford, to Joe Parisi.

Joe,

I am writing today to inform you that I am resigning from the Homeless Issues Committee effective immediately.

While I’ve been proud of the work we’ve been able to do in the last two years, I believe county government has disconnected itself from the committee or its work. If we are to succeed in meeting the still unmet needs of the homeless in our communities, there needs to be a reboot of our efforts to engage the community at large. I believe my decision today is part of that.

I thank you for the opportunity to serve Dane County as chair of this committee and wish it future success.

Sincerely,

Michael Basford

Given how mad he was at the last committee meeting, I’m guessing this has to do with the day center announcement today, and how they couldn’t get any answers about what was going on.

Everyone should email Parisi and ask him to sit down and talk to Mike about what when wrong and how to fix it. parisi@countyofdane.com
