Only thing so far is a meeting with sen williams on thurs. Will be
interesting to see what is discussed at the commission mtg on friday.
Grant was turned in yesterday, so it looks like that money will get used.
I'll keep you posted.

Nope... I've submitted my recommendations with a heavy emphasis on
TRAPWIRE and 100% digital CCTV upgrades for the entire Capitol, but have
been told that all recommendations will be passed up to the
legislature/committees for a decision. As long as DPS is charged with
securing a public building without "owning" any of the physical
systems/hardware OR the ability to implement critical security measures
without the approval of an arguing, indecisive body of untrained,
self-proclaimed, security experts, I fear the public and the stakeholders
in the complex will remain soft targets for domestic violence and acts of
terrorism.
