Quick Hits

Good news for the lawyers, bad for taxpayers.

Buskers Fest earns short reprieve. Time for all in the City to step up. Here's one suggestion for funding - $5000.00 per ward would be a good shot in the arm. Update: just listened to the report on AM800 regarding this issue. Apparently the reason given now is uncertainty due to the budget not being finalized till May. $40,000 was budgeted for this event.

Windsor's brand - a quick internet survey. Very interesting to read, including all the comments.

Federal Election anyone?

City News Releases: Jan 2007 - 2 (Council Notes), Feb 2007 - 2 (Council Notes), Mar - 7 (2 Council Notes), Apr 2007 - 7 (2 Council Notes), May 2007 - 13 (no Council Notes), Jun 2007 - 3 to date (no Council Notes). Were Jan, Feb, Mar and Apr really slow news months for the City or is the battle for the $250,000.00 dollar communication budget still underway? Could August 2007 see us with our new Communications Department and no Busker's Fest to promote? Ironic wouldn't even begin to describe that moment.
