District 6 Smear Campaign . . . An Official Backfire!

City Week Ahead
Wonder if this is it for the holiday week - or it there will be additions?
Who Decides Who is Trespassing?
Occupy Madison thought when it found private property, that they could better control the actions of people there, or not wanted there. That's not what the police are saying, and I think they are wrong . . .

Suffer til we build housing?
