Lots of national news today, with the stock market rally and a new public-private partnership plan from the Treasury Dept. Do you like public-private projects?
Also interesting is this lame explanation of a secret meeting:
Reuters reports that Pres. Obama held talks with former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, in Washington last Friday, said Gorbachev’s spokesman. He gave no details of the discussion. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was pressed at a news conference about why the meeting between Obama and Gorbachev was not previously disclosed and did not appear on Obama’s official daily schedule.
“The president tends to roam around the larger (White) House and sometimes walks into meetings that weren’t previously on his schedule,” Gibbs said.
Don’t forget, boys and girls, that LCDC wants your input, TODAY at 5:30 pm in the Library’s Community Room. They want you to show up and tell them what they should do next year. But be very, very careful. Don’t ask for more transparency. Don’t suggest any changes. Don’t criticize anything at all, and especially do NOT mention that Charlie Nipp has conflict of interest problems and that LCDC’s disclosure form is inadequate. If you do, you may run the risk of intimidation. Maybe a lecture from Deanna (when you can’t respond) or a phone call to your boss from Charlie or perhaps a visit from an angry city councilman. Tread carefully.
