Now that's efficiency!  And lacking in transparency and public accountability! Who did actually decide what made it in to the amendment packets and what didn't?

41 seats up for elections, 2 are contested and 9 have no one filing anything.  2 people officially on the ballot so far.  Papers due January 7th - 29 more days.  Media silence, so who even knows they should be thinking about running?

F-35s blow up if they get hit by lightening?  They can't fly if the sun is out and its too hot?  They won't be a defense for the midwest, they can only fly short distances without being refueled and more.

With the decision about the F-35s looming over the community, this seems like an odd choice.  Feels like they are taunting us at this point.

1.5 hours of the county board doing committee work on the county board floor.  Good to see some actual discussion at one of these meetings! Allowing committee meetings virtually, extending board terms if election postponed, jail phone calls and visitation, counseling services for homeless in hotels, benefits fraud investigators and farewells from the 9 outgoing supervisors.

Tonight the Personnel and Finance Committee will meet to discuss several items but among them is spending FEMA emergency funds and $95M in CARES funding, but the decisions have already been made and the funding is already being spent.

Here’s Brenda Konkel and Dylan Brogan with a preview of what’s happening this week in the city of Madison and Dane County.

No August lull in county meetings! 

Late, but still relevant information to be shared. 

I've been a bit delinquent in blogging the past few months because I've been busy helping build a tiny house village.  Check it out!

It's the new trend, I've lost count but I think its the 6th in about 4 or 5 years. 

Only 9 meetings this week, 4 meetings cancelled (no meetings on Thursday), Personnel and Finance Committee (last stop before the board votes) takes up the budget!
