Hello #Boulder Twitter. It is Tuesday night and there is a city council meeting: The first of 3 this week (technically 2 since the retreat is one meeting, but split over Friday-Saturday, but you get the gist).

I'm not going to be tweeting much until later, when staff discusses which of city council's recently shared priorities they can actually implement.

(Hint: It ain't much.)

You can read more about what city council members proposed here: boulderbeat.news/city-council/ I'll add council's priorities as a whole entity after the retreat this weekend.

Apologies for the blown out photos. I have no idea why they are like that, and my tech person is busy. Will fix ASAP

Also realize I need to update the main photo on that council page....

Also on tonight's agenda:
Update on when council meetings will move from Tuesdays to Thursdays (target date: July 14)

and an update of some kind on the death of Jessica Aldama, which the city is still referring to as "the investigation of a death in a homeless encampment
within City limits" boulderbeat.news/2021/12/23/jes…

I'm not tweeting open comment, but the first speaker is advocating for decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms in Boulder, like Denver did. denverpost.com/2021/10/08/mag…

As someone currently in a clinical trial studying the effects of psychedelics in treating PTSD, this interests me. Amazing results in the last phase. nytimes.com/2021/05/03/hea…

So far, first 3 speakers are from the local decriminalization group.

Of course, Westword was all over this 2 yrs ago.
