Madison

Sorry so late, no pressure to get it done before going to work . . . TRC closes when schools do

Wow, I said Soglin has gone nuts - now is he just lying? This Mayoral hatred of the homeless is getting really bizarre

An alternate proposal (Tree Lane Alternate) that the council will be considering tonight lowers the amount of money to be spent and replaces security with 24/7 staff at the front desk.

Or . . ..

City attorney wrote a memo outlining what the council's next steps are in responding to the complaint against Alder Paul Skidmore.

On Thursday, CDA will consider authorizing armed security guards in Madison's Public Housing.  Would you want armed security guards roaming the hallways of your home?

But really, does he think we don't all know what he really thinks about homeless people? Does he think we've forgotten everything he's tried to do? And he expects us to suddenly think he's being cooperative with . . . .well, anyone? Election year antics.
