Madison

Was there a pathetic turn out yesterday? Do the results mean anything?

Election Day votes and predictions.

You knew it was coming. 4 laws "Thus far" need to be changed. The bikes aren't allowed where they want to put them, the signs don't comply with the sign code, a charter ordinance is needed to advertise in the Right of Way and something about the permit process. You can't make this stuff up.

Be flexible and understanding but follow the law and contracts.

Here's a brief run down, the staff will be further briefed at 10 am this morning at a Division and Department Heads meeting room 354 in the City-County Building.

Yeah, more shameless political pandering in an election year. Eyeroll.

Adventures in video, with Brenda . . . it's not terrible.

Board of Estimates today, Board of Public Works Wednesday and probably approved by council a week from tomorrow. So, if you're interested in how much you pay and how and when and why, you might want to read this.

Channel 3 did a story on how the City of Madison does not follow up on inspections of new furnaces because the contractors do not tell them they are done with the work. The city responds:

Governor Walker came out last week with a union busting bill - Lots more information here. A couple of things have been overlooked...

Right before I left office, you could see that the public input was not really wanted on East Washington and I was having trouble getting information from staff, they have gone from a 25 member committee with lots of input, to public informing in the last two years.

It's hard to focus on anything local or tomorrow's elections with the latest Walker assault on our Wisconsin way of life. But, here it is.
