Ever wonder what that funny motion is that the alders make that has a bunch of numbers in it and you can't follow along? Well, I'll try to explain using tonight as an example.

Sorry, this is a day late, I felt AWFUL yesterday, still not feeling great today . . . sigh . . .

What in the world is this about? And why were others cc'd on this?

Safety concerns with strollers? Do you care?

Here's when you'll be able to give your input. There's 4 chances and they have said that the meetings are sequential so if...

People who have been in my car know, it is usually littered with aluminum cans. Why? Partially because I can't always find a recycling bin. Partially, cuz I don't clean my car that often.

Here's what I found of interest from that last 24 hours or so.

Sunny and 80 degrees today, a little different than yesterday. Today is Friday for me, I'm off to Sturgeon Bay for the Steel Bridge Music Festival tomorrow morning. Bringing my computer (and work) with me and intend to be on-line to keep blogging, but the schedule might be a little off. I'll be mostly hanging out at the Ladder House if you make it up that way.

It seems like they might have a proposal to solve one tiny portion of the dispute, but we still don't know what tiny percentage of people will take advantage of this, there's still the foreclosure/delinquency issue that is not resolved and the question of if all the costs for new software, reprogramming and other staff headaches are going to be worth it.

Yesterday, I was annoyed by the addition of 12 meetings to the weekly agenda, today, there are only three more. Including big news at the Overture and police department input. However, that is a record 15 meetings added. How are people supposed to participate in local government when notices of meetings go out 24 - 48 hours before the meetings start?

Yesterday, the City added a record 10 meetings to the weekly schedule, giving little functional notice to the public. Here's the meetings that were added and what might be of interest and you might want to change your plans for today or tomorrow.

I'm not complaining, its good for the plants.
