UPDATE on the January 25, 2008: BOCC Special Meeting

We just found out that the January 25, 2008: BOCC Special Meeting will be held in Marathon, NOT in Key West. It will be at the EOC Government Center on Overseas Highway.

Since the meeting will start at 9AM, you'll have to be there earlier if you want to sign up to speak to the Commissioners, during the meeting, for 3 minutes. (Some folks show up very early in order to speak to individual commissioners before the meeting convenes.)

Whatever you decide to do, try to watch the meeting. They'll be deciding the future path of our county. By the way, one of the newspapers said we were $20 million in the hole. If that's correct, our county's financial situation is much worse than we all thought it was. Bottom line? Greater cuts will have to be made. Ouch!
