City of Reno - Demo First, Get Funding Later
What is it with the City of Reno’s “Gang of Seven” and the former Community Assistance Center (CAC) buildings on Record Street. Are they embarrassed that the building was allowed to fall into decay on their watches? Well, frankly, they should be, but hey it is only taxpayer money, so they don’t care. Are they afraid they will haunted by the memory of former Mayor Bob Cashell after allowing the buildings to fall into ruins. They should be, Cashell was proud to open the CAC in 2008.
Local homeless advocate, Lily Baran, has brought great ideas forward for these spaces to help homeless women and children, but no matter how good the idea the Reno City Council just don’t listen.
Gotta Love Jenny Brekhus
Okay, Picon will admit to sometimes being frustrated by Jenny Brekhus over these many years when she has taken us down the path of doing what is right for the City of Reno residents.
Is it frustrating listing to Councilmember Brekhus trying to hold us all to a higher standard, yes.
Is it exhausting, and sometimes you want to side with her foes, one wants to shout, “Jenny, can you just let it go.”
Brekhus has been a champion of the residents of Reno since the day she was elected. No one can dispute that.
