Wayne Who spent some time reminiscing this weekend about topics of the recent past, including:
1. How is the H.O.M.E. project going? Several board members expressed, some in the local press, that construction needed to get underway soon (we seem to remember a "within 30 days" quote at the time that the new executive director was selected). While residential construction has slowed down, there doesn't seem to be much of a slowdown in commercial construction locally. Will this project be completed? Was a new executive enough to restart fundraising, or will the project eventually have to be fully handed over to an established community organization to receive credibility?
2. While wandering around downtown watching traffic enforcement, we have yet to see the happy multitudes of laptop users accessing the Internet via the city's wireless network. Will the applications proposed to be used by the city, KUA, and Toho Water Authority employees provide sufficient efficiencies to justify completing the network, with free public Internet access as a side benefit, or will public use and some sort of revenue model be needed first? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
3. Is the Osceola Republican Party still meeting at City Hall?

Not sure if the republican party is still meeting at city hall, but after this weeks episode of Who Is A Real Republican, their may not be enough people left in the local party to justify having meetings. Who will get the ax this month? Steve Burke for slumming with Democrats? Mark Cross for running against republicans and then losing badly? Claire Dempster for getting caught? Maybe King George should go because he let a republican seat go to the democrates? Maybe Wayne Who should suggest this as an episode to Access Osceola.
4th tue of the month they meet at city hall. burke cant be removed by king george. burke was elected. who says you can't run against a fellow republican? how about george abusing "911" because he wanted non republicans kicked out of a meeting? one he never called into "executive committee"?
The H.O.M.E. project is a complete farce, and is a complete waste of taxpayer money. The project only addresses a slight majority of the homeless population and ignores the rest of the them. The real issue that residents should care about is what does it cost for the very few being helped. Are projects like this and H.O.M.E. for the Holidays good projects? Yes. Should the taxpayer foot the bill for these projects all of the time? That decision is made in the voting booth. It is amazing how these project get more coverage around election time.
