Juneau continues to await the resolution of our state senate seat. I’m sure we all have opinions there. Mostly I am trying to focus on the city and leave that battle to others—but it certainly can be distracting. As more and more names are discussed, inevitably Assembly members’ names get tossed out. Jeff Bush’s is prominent in that mix. I assume the Mayor’s name is there, too, maybe Bob Doll’s. Somebody might have even said “What about Anderson?” At which point everyone looks at each other and says “Nah.”
More importantly we are awaiting the final budget decisions of the state. Those seem to change daily so it is hard to make firm plans until the final bills are both passed and signed. Wednesday the 15th at 5:30 the Assembly Finance Committee will meet and continue its hearing of funding requests for the coming year. Currently, Johnson Youth Services and the Youth Activities Board will present their requests. When the agenda is posted it will be at http://www.juneau.org/clerk/FC.php
Tuesday the 14th at 7pm the Planning Commission meets and there is a hearing on another proposed WiMax tower—this one downtown on Capital Street. There are some interesting applications in the consent agenda on development in Lemon Creek and at the Rock Dump. It’s worth a glance at http://www.juneau.org/plancomm/Agenda041409.php

“We must recognize the full human equality of all of our people – before God, before the law, and in the councils of government. We must do this, not because it is economically advantageous – although it is; not because the laws of God command it – although they do; not because people in other lands wish it so. We must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do.” – Robert Kennedy, June 6, 1966
