Madison

Compliments of the City of Madison. They can't even blame it on the county . . . not this time . . .

If you send an email and no one responds for 12 days and you have asked specific questions that need to be answered because the event happens in 18 days and may involve arrests, seizure of property and who knows what else, what do you do? WWBD? Something considered "annoying" and "counterproductive", I'm sure. :)

Personally, this week is going to suck, so I could use another day of the weekend.

It's free! And I bet you never even knew the house was there!!! And, the house will be impacted by the two new developments proposed for Webster St (hotel and apartments)

Oh dear . . . the fundraising has started!

and news . . .

Input needed. UW-Madison Transportation Services will be making changes to campus bus service and is seeking input at two upcoming May meetings. The changes are necessarily...

We have a Housing Strategy Committee and a housing coordinator for the city, right? Wrong.

Discussions were a little over 2 hours, including public testimony. 17 amendments. And the capital budget is done now until November. Hope you didn't blink, it's pretty much over. The most time was spend on the (lack of) a daytime resource center for the homeless - supported by advocates and the business community and proposed by Alder Palm. And of course, the amendment failed due to the city/county struggle over who pays.

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

Yay! There will be a warming shelter for the homeless this winter again. Boo! The process sucks and the details matter.

They hold half the leadership positions for the first time ever!
