Yes, we all got on each other's nerves. Some of us listened. Some of us dug our heels in. Some of us came in with an open mind. Some of us lamented being urban planners when we didn't go to school for that. Some of us had zesty commentary. Some of us kept our mouths shut.
I got next to no pictures but it was fun to volunteer this morning at the "Truly Thankful Thanksgiving" at Donelson Cafe with District 15 CM Jeff Gregg, Congressional District 6 District Director Ray Render, and Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social 🤩 🦞

I just had a chance to watch this portion of the meeting and if WeGo thinks this is the last conversation on this topic it won't be.
At yesterday’s WeGo Board meeting, Chair Gail Carr-Williams said WeGo responded “instantly, and in an outstanding fashion” to the federal shutdown.
This was right after @quinevanssegall.bsky.social asked the board to partner with council on a plan for emergency fare suspension in the future.

I hate I missed this and am glad that Chair Evans-Segal could carry the message forward that the council unanimously requested better and now we need more preparation for the future.
It is disappointing to learn that this message wasn't received differently by the authority's Chair.
