Madison

Unlike the city, this one rarely changes - cuz they're still MAILING items out to some committees - can't wait for their version of Legistar so items can be more accessible on-line!!!

Bill Lueders from the Isthmus shares some of his writings from the past few years . . . catch my interview on his book! Ok,...

Not much of an "offer" . . .

With a little more than a month before Scott Walker takes office and a series of public rallies behind us, the momentum is building...

A new report out shows in the past 10 years (2008-2018) Madison added 10.6% more officers, the highest in the state.

No grocery at 800 E. Wash . . . big empty lot for tents for the homeless? :)

Music and speakers noon - 1, march at 1:00.  Here's the details and other Safe Skies Clean Water updates.

Alder and homeless services updates, housing hotline, Dane County Parks open, any more mayoral orders?, city committees that are allowed to meet, bloopers and more.

Here's changes coming for City Channel 12, and more stickin' it to the county!

Interesting discussion at the Economic Development Committee, sounds like there is some backing off of the bold statements by the Mayor and the timeline. Perhaps some "misinformation". And, the message to the development community is clear, if you want to see changes, you have to show up, don't just send your staff for your various groups, cuz there's no data to support the concerns. And there are more open meetings concerns.

In response to questions about how and when the latest committee to look at the houses in James Madison Park was formed and appointed, we get this from the city attorney's office - unlike the past 12 - 15 years that I have been paying attention - now, the Mayor just is making appointments without Council approval. Even when the staff who ordered it doesn't know what I'm talking about.

So much for taking poverty seriously. As needs and expenses go up, agencies are looking at decreases. Again, for the geeks and those from agencies affected . . . and all their clients. The real issue here is that most non-profits will see a 5% decrease in funding
