From a previous post:
The Public Works Department and Hanson Professional Services will be hosting a public meeting on Monday, September 22, 2008; 7pm – 9pm at City Hall-Council Chambers, 419 Fulton Street, Suite 400, Peoria. This forum is a follow-up to the meeting that took place in early July. The City will be presenting a series of computer-generated illustrations showing how a variety of traffic-calming options will affect Main Street and the surrounding area using traffic counts and data collected in June.
Autumn officially begins today. To celebrate, I’m taking the day off from blogging. 🙂 Feel free to use this post as an open thread to talk about whatever is on your mind.
If you can’t think of anything to say, here’s an idea: the $700 billion bailout. I keep hearing how this bailout is absolutely critical, and that the alternative would be worse. But I can’t find a report that specifically, in layman’s terms, explains “the alternative.” What specifically would happen to the economy if taxpayers didn’t bail out Wall Street? (Catch phrases like “economy would grind to a halt” don’t count.) Can anyone explain it to me or give me a link?
