[Cadre-politics] $4,000 in Lowell CDBG money

[Dan MacNeil]

We asked for 20K for mvhub & 20K for tech apprentices We got 4K 
for mvhub.com

Given that we weren't funded by Parker for the circuit rider/ lan 
support program that the apprentices would have worked w/, the 
later isn't such a blow.

20K would have put us within slingshot range of market rate for 
coders,  but 4K is much better than nothing.

Some our hard radical core, were talking about appealing if we 
got zero, I dunno how getting less than we wanted but more than 
zero effects this movement.

Perhaps we (the board) can (briefly) discuss this at the end of 
tomorrow's 40 minute conference call.
