Dane

This is probably off too due to the power outage on Friday and staff being sent home. I'd check back for updates if I don't do them.

How did all those groups that made endorsements do? Who can expect support for their issues on the Council (and elsewhere)?

Let the games begin! The dominos are falling. I sure hope that this all works out . . .

Only the city has meetings this week . . . and only has 3 meetings, or maybe 2 or maybe 1, not sure. No county or MMSD school meetings.

Thanks to Mary Jo Walters who attended the Airport meeting and took these notes and photos! Airport paid homeowners $2,000 for easements years ago saying they are ok with the noise . . . end of story?

8 meetings, County Board meeting will be at Vilas Zoo (insert your own joke here.)

Willing to go to court to defend his right to have Occupy camp on his land.

Speak Out Against F-35s! Monday, September 23 - Help us spread the word and lift up the voices of the community, in the most affected areas.

I must have missed the resolution, but it appears that there is now free camping in Dane County Parks - perhaps its just a little celebration of Earth Day?

It's a little awkward to think you know anything about a place by visiting for an hour, but here's some of my observations about the Right to Dream Too homeless "rest area" in downtown Portland, right at the entrance to the Chinatown area of the city - it was just a few blocks from our hotel.

Budget, sweet budget! Public Hearings Wednesday and Thursday! Also, airport noise, suing over not being able to build on top of the jail, affordable housing fund decisions and more.

Of interest, Department Equity Plans, questionable contract extensions, "Familiar Faces" presentation on frequent users of county services and the quarterly lake levels management report.
