Madison

Here's what we know now . . . likely to change many times throughout the week . . . watch for Mo' Meetings. This week we have the rescheduled Council Meeting. It's the last week of the month with several "5th" days of the month, so it's a little light - only 14 meetings - because regularly scheduled meetings often skip the "5th"s.

1 cancelled, two added at the City.

Politically, that is. My alder, at the last minute and without consultations with anyone, wants to up-zone it tonight at the plan commission . . . which is making me think again what a disaster this situation is. It's definitely an only-in-Madison situation.

This is how the county treats the homeless. #$%#@! And now the van isn't going to pick people up today.

If you're keeping track, 2 more cancelled meetings makes 4 cancelled meetings and 4 added meetings this week. 8 changes in 3 days.

6:30, Downtown Public Library.

Election this week for county board seats, approval of construction noise that impacts downtown residents, police policy committee discussing public oversight committee, fair housing report and more!

Yeah. Seriously.

And he wants as much of your taxpayer money as he can get his hands on. If you live in Sun Prairie...

Here's the info on what changed since last year and a comparison of the agency requests and what made it into Mayor Rhodes-Conway's budget. Let's see what the priorities are!
