minutes up

Oops - just found that this never went out.

The minutes of the ERC meeting from last week are up on the CVV site.

Things seemed to have died down quite a bit. Lynn and Peter were there, but
I didn't see anyone else. This is a sad state of affairs. This committee
could very well tell the commissioners to dump the two million bucks they
dropped on it. Where are all the people that protested its purchase in the
first place?

Here's a list from the ERC's brainstorming session last week. You'll find it
in the minutes at:
