Dane

Dane County moved "Forward" and cases spiked, now the UW is going to do a "Smart Restart" with likely similar results. Fancy well branded names can't fool science.

No lull this August, a full round of meetings with full agendas.

Dane County Regional Airport has created a PFAS Information Web Page, video etc., what can you find there?

Here is the letter of concern they wrote to Madison and Dane County Public Health Director Janel Heinrich.

We have all the recommendations, we just don't have the follow through/political will to put the needed money in the budget.

No August lull in county meetings! 

I mean, you're not surprised are you?  Fair warning, its empty promises.

Brenda Konkel and Dylan Brogan discuss what is up in the week ahead in local government meetings.

County Board meeting, Public Health giving an update, redistricting and potential decision on size of the county board, and more.

So, in this new world we are living in, everything is constantly changing and plans made are reworked as change occurs.  Focusing on the big picture and long term is hard when we don't know what the long term will bring . . . but . . . . there is a train wreck coming.

All the usual updates of upates and round ups of round up - plus a few extra things thrown in.

Thursday the Health and Human Needs Committee voted in favor of halting the jail, jail populations are down at least 40%, Madison police are arresting less people, we have new leadership on the Criminal Justice Council, can we actually bring our ourselves to create real change in the criminal "justice" system?  Will any of this make real, meaningful change?
