Madison

When I saw this at the MUNICIPAL building! Not the city-county building, but the one across the street.

What do you want on your playground for your kids to fall on? Yup, that's the question!

It will be interesting to see how this impacts Madison, looks like we could be losing Section 8 vouchers and maybe some staff. There were also cuts to CDBG (8%) funding as well. Looks like they cut 100% of the funds for Economic Development Initiative, Brownfields Redevelopment, Energy Innovation Fund and Hope VI - which I believe the city was working on an application for Truax for (not sure which fiscal year. Wonder if the council took this into consideration in passing its budget - I didn't hear it mentioned.

Another short week. But lots going on.

Of course, it has no chance of passing. Just had to point this out. SB511 actually does something good - so it wouldn't...

Ok, I finished it this week!

Still trying to clear out my email . . . here's a bit, I have a bunch more!

This is the real hearing, the one that matters, since the Transit and Parking Commission is the one that makes these decisions unless it is appealed to the council.

Action Alert from the Wisconsin Council of Churches. This drives me nuts, this is the one benefit that people down on their luck can apply for and get and get quickly. Unlike medical care, disability, housing assistance, child care assistance, etc.

Will nuts and berries planted on city land win over the fear of bee stings and slipping on a rotten piece of fruit?

Also looks a little light . . .

The city and county are just bound and determined to keep it illegal for homeless to camp anywhere in Dane County. Here's the latest obstacle the County Parks Departments sprung on us yesterday within two hours of being in the campground - their new magical rules they made up.
