Madison

A quick 40 minute meeting, mostly an opportunity for education. The new members of the committee are Keith Furman, Rebecca Kemble, Mayor Rhodes-Conway, Shiva Bidar, Mike Verveer, Barbara McKinney and Donna Hurd.

This was the first time most people had an opportunity to interact with our County Executive Joe Parisi - here is video of his committee testimony (without my snark) and the beginning (the rockier part) of the 1.5 hour discussion in the hallway, it did get better are this, but he didn't like the video taping.

26 meetings so far this week . . .

My "round ups" have seen various formats and content over the years.  Here's what I hope to become a weekly round up of local government news from the past week.  Things I don't have time to blog about, but that should be on your radar screen.

They don't need proper notice . . .Maniaci sees no reason not to proceed with a vote at Plan Commission this evening on the Edgewater . . . so I'll explain it to her.

How did all those groups that made endorsements do? Who can expect support for their issues on the Council (and elsewhere)?

We brought the recent story of WKOW, and their employee Tony Galli, making the Bradley Foundation's day and attacking a local elementary art teacher....

This is the oldest/longest running of the villages.

Ok, I've been slacking, so while I'm catching up on everything, I thought I'd fill you in!

Sure to be missing 6 - 10 meetings.

City, County, Schools and other news, foreclosure assistance, HIV Education Event, Future of Transportation Day, Parks News and more.

So, it's not going to be opening on November 1st at Wright St. and they are backing off on a few other things too.
