| Repeating a tactic I wrote about in Jan, the new Middlesex freeholder director Dalina shut down public commentary on the budget. I got there just after the meeting ended, since it was another short one. Dalina opened for public comment, moved to close, it was seconded and that was it. Some folks who don't want billboards on every green space in the county, including electronic billboards, were none too pleased, since they wanted to be heard.
The one item I know well, the amount the county is getting from ICE, has gone down from $6.17 million last year (actually 2007) to $5.2 million (in 2008 and projected for this year). The number of immigrant detainees averaged closer to 150, rather than 200. I hope that means the ICE raids are slowing down. |
