Bits and Pieces
Yes, that's a Mardi Gras celebration you see there. I thought I'd include it to add some visual interest to the Neary blog. Learn about the senior Mardi Gras and more in the Lakewood city manager's weekly report, always an informative read.Tonight's Meeting: The Lakewood City Council will hear comment tonight about a moratorium about mini-casinos. This is a big subject that defies the simplicity of one blog posting, but I mention the meeting at 7 p.m. tonight in case anyone wants to listen. What should be interesting tonight is that we will likely hear from the folks who operated Happy Days on Bridgeport. They want to reopen. I look forward to hearing from all sides on this one.
Police funding: A national website dedicated to information about police products used Lakewood as a case history in the financing of police technology. It's interesting reading in that you rarely see anyone write about such a subject in detail.
Blogging by elected officials: Those of you who recall my little blogging wardrobe malfunction of awhile back might be interested in a thread out of Olympia about their City Council, which apparently actually sends emails during meetings. I jotted down a few thoughts about government blogging, and the original post and the comments are all interesting.
