Roy Transition Team Set to Meet This Afternoon
Seventy-plus members of Mayor-elect Jacques Roy’s transition team will be meeting for the first time later today. Roy is expected to speak for about an hour, laying out his vision for Alexandria and instructing transition team members on their duties. Specifically, Jacques Roy will be asking team members to consider:
· Community-based planning
· How to articulate a vision and who is passionate in our city to achieve it
· Promoting an image for the city, and overcoming the limitations to that image
· How to best create and sustain numerous partnerships and collaborations
· What would division and department heads like to see different
· What resources are missing

Sorry about this but I didn\’t know where to put these links. We all believe firmly in an educated citizenry, and here\’s some phat places to start.
Find out who is donating to who at the Political Money Line Databases! It\’s non-partisan and run by Congressional Quarterly. Use left and right columns to search by race, election cycle, or region. Includes PACs, lobbies, yummy! I recommend hitting Louisiana and then linking to our city. Can you guess to whom Ms. Brewer donated $500 last February (HINT: the answer here is the same as below)?

Want an easy way to keep up with that pesky government legislation (since 1999)? GovTrack.us is also independent, and allows you to peruse legislator\’s voting records, check the status of current bills, or search them by subject. It also contains the Congressional Record and a nifty statistics analysis of conservativism/liberalism by voting record. Can you guess who hasn\’t cast a NAY vote since July 19th, against the failed Veto Override for H.R. 810: Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005 (HINT, the answer here is the same as above)?

Have Fun!
I know! I know! It’s Rodney Alexander. Not one vote since July 19th you said? Not surprising…I guess he’s too busy fighting the terrorists in Washington & flying home every weekend to be a family man rather than DOING THE JOB WE’RE PAYING HIM TO DO.
Yes it\’s Rodney. He hasn\’t cast any NAY votes since 7/19 (plenty of AYEs), so he has been in Washington \”doing his job,\” falling in line, never questioning legislation like the Military Commissions Act…
To the posted topic: How’d it go yesterday, Lamar? The video on KALB looked like all were deep in thought or taking notes. With so many minds being spurred to imagine our future city, I expect some interesting results. Did everyone show?
