Here it is folks, the most recent Washington Post article that a couple of posters have been clamoring about!

What struck me about this article was that it sounds like a small group of citizens actively dealt with neighborhood issues.  What I am wondering is this….was it the resolution or their dedicated committment to their neighborhood that fixed the most egregious problems?  Is it a success that now many hispanics have left, were they “illegal” or simply too scared to stay in PWC?  Could these neighborhood issues have been dealt with through better means than HSM?  Could we have formed a community/government task force to promote positive solutions instead of the immigration resolution which has proved to be so divisive?  It sounds like there was an opportunity that was missed, and instead we have the serious repercussions of double the foreclosure rate of surrounding counties and businesses, once thriving,  now struggling under the threat of bankruptcy.

The Board will have only have a 2:oopm session tomorrow.  The agenda for the meeting appears short, the most important item on the agenda is after the closed doors session which is the start of the budget mark-up.  It’s not too late to share your thoughts on the Fiscal 09 Budget.
