Dane

So much going on, here's city announcements, school board announcements, community events and more.

County is dragging its feet in filing an appeal, County Board members urge action before appeal deadline of December 16th.

This work was initially done by myself, Brenda Konkel, for Progressive Dane about 3 years ago.  Technical difficulties happened and over the past three years I continued some of the work here at Forward Lookout.  I'm in the process of merging the work and expanding the guide.  Let me know what you think!

"Constitutional Officers Compensation" has been on the Personnel and Finance Commmittee agenda for the last two meetings.  What's it all about? 

Mostly housing and homelessness related today . . . most other immediate needs issues have been resolved or are on their way. 

Konkel's random musings, council elects new leadership at tonight's meeting, or not? Alder updates, WHEDA looking for affordable housing input and more.

This is the full email by Dr. Gregory Gelembiuk to city and county elected officials showing why reopening now is not a good idea.  It's politics and threats of legal battles vs. science yet again.

The county board wants input on how large the county board should be - your thoughts?

Ok - going old school, the way my round ups used to be.  Going to post more frequently with more news in here - things that could be their own posts if I had more time!

Also forgot to post!  Interesting times at the county, joint meeting on the jail, gender nuetral bathrooms, investigation at the zoo . . .

Jail change order, continued work on criminal justice reform and talking with Journey Mental Health.

Final vote on county redistricting maps and a whole lot more this week.
