Drinking Liberally Back to Shanty

Tonight will be the last meeting of Drinking Liberally at Elle. The group moved there after the owner of the Shanty put up a Ben Buehler-García banner on his wall. The election is over, so the group has decided to meet at the Shanty again.
Not only will tonight’s meeting be the last at Elle, but [...]

What Was Weak Last Week

I used to work down stairs from a CPS office. It seemed to happen every few weeks: some parent would be told that he or she was not going to get their kid back just yet, and this would result in that parent screaming a stream of threats and obscenities while they were being led [...]

The Executive Committee of the Pima County Democratic Party passed a resolution the other day in support of a budget override in TUSD.

Still Haven’t Gotten that Dog With a Bandana

Check out Blog for Arizona for the latest in the Marana Town Council race. A group called People for an Independent Marana has let loose with a hit piece on Kelle Maslyn. David Safier has the details.

Latino Caucus

I attended the first meeting of the Pima County Latino Caucus meeting on Friday night.

Last Week’s Meeting

I’ve been getting no love from YouTube lately. I have had a whale of a time uploading to those guys. But, here, finally, is some video I took at the meeting last week. The first video is remarks by Steve Farley and Paula Aboud, while the second is remarks from Nina Trasoff and Rodney Glassman.
