Another short week . . .

I attended my first ever candidate announcement the other day when Vicky Selkowe declared her candidacy for the 48th assembly district, replacing Joe Parisi....

10 meetings, 2 have missing agendas.  County Board budget hearings start this week.

Short week, lots to do . . . City Council meeting, County Board meeting, Mayoral and County Executive debates . . . among other things.

I told you this was long, be patient. In this post, we have people calling the police when people are singing or dropping the F-bomb! Imagine if we called the police every time someone got in an argument in the city-county building or dropped the F-bomb!

A.k.a. "frequent flyers"  . . . people with mental illness and substance abuse issues that are in and out of jail on a regular basis.  (335 people with more than 10 stays in 3 years)  What does the Criminal Justice Council think should be done?

More illegal meetings? Some county board members, not a committee with open meetings, but a group appointed by Chair Sharon Corrigan came up with a report on how to increase public engagement, without engaging the public.  Or the rest of the county board.  Who even knows about the report?

County Board meeting Thursday, Redistricting, AirBnB ordinance at Public Health, presentation on Novel Coronavirus and more.

Here's my video from last year on this day and the video from the Wisconsin Day Rally on Saturday.

Police Chief Noble Wary apologizes to the homeless people who had their things thrown out by the city, says they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. County Executive Moe Parisi and Mayor Paul Soglin allow Occupy to stay and are sending staff to help them find housing.

Here's a slice of recent news . . .

Thanks to Grace Episcopal Church for opening their doors, Karen Andro from First United Methodist Church for coordinating volunteers and Bethel Lutheran Church for helping staff the day. Z! (and board members) from Shine was there most of the day as well.
