Here's the recommendations of the City-County Homeless Issues Committee. In case you are going to the public hearing tonight, you might want to mention some of these needs. Please and thank you!

41 seats are available for County Board, Madison School Board and City Council.  People can start circulating nomination papers in 9 days!  Are you ready?

So, nothing is worse than when public officials use open meetings laws to thwart public information.  I was reminded about how they did that with the Cap Times during the F-35s debate.  See what I found in my open records request.

Only 1 meal (8 oz) of bluegill a week and the rest of the fish only each once a month.  Don't touch the foam either.  Other lakes haven't yet been tested, but will be.

Things are flying at me so quickly and there are so many things to report, much of it is getting dumped here if it is not included in the basic needs guide or the Konkel Round Up news aggregation.  Both those resources are being updated as quickly as I can!  See end of the post for actions you can take from home!

Alder round up, fire dept objects to closing streets, committee assignments for alders, help get masks to health care workers, Conservation Congress voting tips from League of Women Voters, stimulus checks for people who don't make enough money to file taxes and more.

Not much over the holiday weekend, but several things from the end of last week.

I've heard people talking about this for at least the past 5 years . . . but are we getting ready to do something about it?

Dylan and Brenda discuss upcoming meetings, that city council meeting looks like a long one!

It's budget week at the county too!  They may finish tonight, if not they'll be back on Wednesday.

Only 8 (or 9?) meetings this week, quite the opposite of City.  County Board meets this week.

Homelessness, affordable housing, lake levels, COVID, erosion control and stormwater management and other cheery things on agendas this week.
