I took a few days off blogging to visit my grandfather in Jackson, TN, who is 88 and not in the best of health. My grandmother had passed away years ago and it's sad to see him in this state.
In better news, a shoutout to my friend and constituent Wesley McGrew (Weasel as we call him) for discovering a major software security flaw. Wesley is a PhD candidate at MSU. Link to article.
We had our regular board meeting last night. It started at 4:30 and didn't get out until around 9pm. We first listened to a presentation from our courts and city clerks departments (which I'll post about individually like I have been for other departments). Then at 5 we heard a budget overview from Alderman Cox, who touched on the enterprise funds, which are seperate from our general fund. These are the funds generated by self-sustaining entities such as water, sewer, sanitation, and electric.
Finally the regular meeting started at 5:30 and lasted until 9pm. We scheduled two public hearings to talk about the upcoming fiscal budget and possibility of a millage increase. They're scheduled for August 18th, and Sept. 2nd. More information and a more in-depth overview of the meeting will be provided tomorrow.
