That’s the part that sits wrong.
On Wednesday afternoon at #CSAE, I will be teaching Association leaders on systems to ease the staff frustration and burnout.
There seems to be a small (big??) revolt of Ontario mayors & etc pushing back at Ford on speed cameras & I swear to Christ it’s the only thing keeping me alive.
In good news, I got this book just in time to bring to Shoup’s memorial service at UCLA tomorrow. Very special that he got to read & edit these essays in tribute to his work before he passed away last year. 🥹
