Friend of the blog Bill LaBorde has informed us that the Government Performance and Finance Committee meeting scheduled for June 5, at which the Spokane Street savings issues (Ship Canal Crossing and UW-SLU HCT studies) were going to be decided, will be pushed back to June 19. The reason for the delay is that Councilmember Burgess will be out of town with family. In addition the council is waiting on more information from the City Budget Office on the savings.
We have written on the studies here and here. If anyone would like to comment on them, the meeting will be in the Council Chambers (City Hall, up the stairs), Wednesday June 19th, at 9:30am. Come at least half an hour early to ensure you get a chance to testify!
I wonder if they can keep postponing it so that it’s after the primary? Geez.
This is really disappointing.
I just hope none of the poor souls I told to show up on the 5th do so.
I did tell them to read STB.
Please, please, go back and call each one today to let them know not to show up. If you can’t get positive confirmation, go yourself to make sure that people don’t show up alone. Those folks will become discouraged and are unlikely to go again.
I’ll certainly be there. I didn’t collect numbers from some of the people I talked to so it’s my responsibility.
