Bob is one of a number of Bridgeport former elected officials who find themselves on the outside looking in. The topic of his talk is similar to that of two weeks ago where he talked about youth activities and funds that he has raised in the past for City activities.
Youth activities need more attention, especially those that would serve to assist with school assignments and create habits that will serve youth well as they mature. Funding is not available for the full range of youth and no one appears accountable to the public for that. Summer programs were a last-minute thought by G2 as June arrived, though the budget, including the summer months had just been completed. And that full report came out in print for the City Council in November, but not on the City web site.
I had to personally request it and wait several weeks for the FOI process to crank it out. Isn’t there a better way to make known how public and private dollars work together to serve families in Bridgeport? Time will tell.
UPDATE: Keeley did not speak Tuesday nighthere
