Here's what I found for this morning . . . two days of info

Some of this info has been out for a while, but I was distracted. Here's the maps, public meetings and a legal opinion. MAPS Several...

It seems that Jim Doyle has washed his hands of the decision on high speed rail with the recent announcement that he will leave it to Scott Walker to make the call. But the future of Wisconsin is too important to let this happen without making a last stand!

As it happens, a lot of closed sessions meetings this week. Forward Lookout's Brenda Konkel joins WORT's Dylan Brogan to preview local government meetings and agendas.

Departments and staff that can't seem to get agendas in more tan 48 or 72 hours before the PUBLIC meetings. Can't tell if its incompetence or public avoidance, but no matter the motive, its annoying and embarrassing to the city.

The Clerk's Schedule only had 7 meetings, there were 15 in Legistar and 16 meetings total.  I'm guessing the MG&E fire and sending people home for the day is impacting the schedule. PFAS, Urban Forestry Task Force Report, Dogs in Parks, 2020 Budget Schedule, Syd Boyum Sculptures, reconsideration of speed humps on Spaight St. and more.

Here's the video and the speech.

This is from the dog bit outside La Fete de Marquette, please help if you can.

Everyone agrees, sleeping outside in a tent in Wisconsin winter is unacceptable.  But if you have no where else to go, no legal place to sleep . . . what are you supposed to do?
