How do people working in homeless medical shelters not have PPE?  I was thinking about this all night.  I'd volunteer to be in the shelters, but I have diabetes so I couldn't do it without proper protections in place.  However, the shelters don't have PPE like police and fire do, not even at the medical shelter.

Common Council, elections and homeless services updates, F-35s, CARPC, parking and parks announcements and more.

Here's the 6 disciplinary matters resulting in suspensions, additional training and letters of reprimand for incidents that happened 8/13/19 - 12/26/19.

The Common Council asked the Airforce to reconsider Truax "until and unless the findings of the EIS are shown to misrepresent the significant environmental impacts to those living, working, and visiting the north and east sides of Madison"  The EIS is out, not much has changed, will the Council oppose the beddown of the F-35s tonight?
