1) The most certain source of funding for Blakely's rebuilding plan remains the 2004 capital improvements bond issue. In other words, the "rebuilding" of the city as planned at the moment amounts to no greater a project than a batch of improvements already deemed necessary BEFORE the flood.
2) Those who wish to apply for the Ed-Blakelys-of-the-future training program announced during yesterday's press conference are already too late as the application deadline had passed prior to the announcement. CORRECTION: "Round 3" application deadline is actually today..... unless your employer has nominated you in which case you have until July 24. So it's not exactly horrible, but you would think these announcements would precede the actual beginning of the process.
I hope everyone had a pleasant Recovery Day and that you didn't party too hard since today is no longer the official day for... recovery. Next year we'll try to get a band or something.
