Productive meeting this morning on the State Interoperability Exec Council. We've made a ton of progress in getting all of our 1st responders the capability of communicating. We are finishing up some of the backbone that will also increase the bandwidth/capabilities of the Idaho Education Network as well!

Always good to have a chat over a good cup of joe with my friend and assist Meridian Police Chief, Tracy Basterrechea. We are very lucky to have such a great team in our Meridian PD... I've got to make time to do another ride-along with them, it's always eye opening regarding the things they do to keep us safe.

Way too much coffee today at various meetings. I didn't ever think I could drink too much, wrong. Good meetings regarding MDC, Teacher recognition and PTA concerns about Idaho's Endowment Land management.

Put the misters up today, sure makes a huge difference when it's 100' with 11% humidity!

Got Ken's pump pulled and the McCall Pump dude got it replaced, got the trailer/boat train home and ran over to pick up the new awning. My good friend Jack Kings and I spent the rest of the day installing it... the trailer is now complete and ready to rumble!

Well the final FY11 state revenue numbers are in, we are up ~$85.3m for the end of the year! Most of that (~$60M) will be available for local school boards use this evening. Meridian School District will get an extra ~$7.1m, Boise will get ~$5.1M (all based on student load) that is the result of our bill to ensure that end of FY11 year extra went to education for use in FY12!

We were found by a nice Border Collie at the Meridian Shelter today... she's about 5 and seemed to want us to take her home. Will be nice to have a good dog around the house again. We've had great luck with dogs from the shelters, if you are in the market, please take a look!
