[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there is already another thread on this, but wasn't there supposed to be a city Council meeting or hearing this morning about this where the mayor was supposed to make her arguments? Did anybody attend or listen in? Any thoughts or comments[/quote]

There has been a Council hearing going all day. However, while Bowser was there at the beginning, she didn't testify.

It appears that whoever supports the shelters is ignoring the cost and whoever is concerned about the cost is being written off as a NIMBY.

One Update: [b]Grosso has expressed a lack of confidence in the high-cost numbers. According to Tom Sherwood, other CMs are also wary.

Meaning what?  That they are happily assuming that the costs will just be lower?  Meaning that they can eat lots of cake and lose weight at the same time?[/quote]

No, the opposite. Grosso was pretty explicit that the budget has some place holders for construction costs that the Administration says can't be filled in at this time. Grosso says he has never seen a placeholder turn out to be lower than expected. He thinks the budget, as high as it is, is likely to go higher. He also thinks the proposed deals are not very good.
