Hey Matt, quit fawning over Nick Fish. Sure, he's good at shuffling bureaucrats' chairs around but where's the money? Where's the implementation? Wouldn't it be far better to focus on providing services and housing units instead of diverting them to org. charts and consultants? You've been snookered, mate.

@Watcher: Agreed. Where's the funding, money and implementation on the resource access center, for example?

Oh, there it is.

Good story. Nick Fish has a chance to lead or fail on the housing issues and on police accountabitilty. If Fish swims to the safe middle ground and does nothing, the public will begin to loathe him. If that hasnt already started on some activist levels.
