Dane

Here ya go! Enjoy!

I knock the city council for many things . . . but they are light years ahead of the county board.

The resolution to double the price of the $76M jail to $150M will be introduced tonight and voted on in three weeks - while 37,200 - 45,000 Dane County residents have no representation on the County Board.

Leila Pine and the James Reeb Unitarian Universalist Church have embarked on a class to explore the issues. They asked me to video tape it and I felt the issue was important enough to do so. So, here's day one (September 18th). Later this week day two, and hopefully day three!

I can't do it, not based on his policy of calling ICE and the impact that has on the community. Not to mention, he's not exactly good with transparency for an elected official. But who to vote for . . .

Enjoy - budget time!

$150M jail, $10M for the largest land purchase in Dane County's history, $90M for the Alliant Energy Center.  In the past 10 years the entire capital budget averaged only $36M per year.  Just one of these projects is a significant increase in county spending.

By the Public Interest Law Section of the Wisconsin Bar . . . helpful and cute.

1/3 of the way to making this a habit . . . 21 days, right? On day seven of consecutive round ups!

I've been frantically trying to figure this all out this weekend . . . what do the new laws really mean, what are the arguments that tenants and landlords should make while going to small claims court, but I didn't even think of this one since I'm focused on residential . . . check this out!

166,090 renters and 6,525 homeless people in Wisconsin are barely hanging on. How much more will this increase with Walker's assault on Wisconsin? Check out these numbers:
