Want something less political this weekend, on May Day, this might be it.

Same excuse as why I didn't get the county week ahead done. Don't like, fire me. :)

In case you missed this over the holidays . . . Mayor Soglin Announces Request for Proposals for Don Miller Site Highlights East Washington Avenue Development...

Interesting, aren't the conservatives usually the cop favorites, since they blindly fund whatever the department wants so they can "get tough on crime!". . . interesting times we live in.

Sigh . . .the neighbors think so . . . I had some different questions.

No more denial!

Ok, I didn't really even think of this, but apparently, amended agendas are also a problem.

A little after 11:00 tonight we were finally notified of the county's plan to deal with the holidays and the next few very cold and snowy days - and keeping homeless people from freezing to death or at least getting hypothermia or losing some toes to frostbite. Not much detail and I have NO idea how people are supposed to find out about the latest last minute plan that has been thrown together.

Wait lists are so long for public housing they are closing the housing lists as of March 1st. I haven't seen it this bad in the 20 years I've been working in housing.

The City Council will be voting on a resolution tonight, and the County Board will vote on a similar one later, temporarily extending the time for Occupy/homeless tent ciy and looking for better solutions for the homeless camping there.

Seriously, wear perfume to a meeting and risk losing your Section 8 assistance?

They say there was 3.1 inches of snow, so they'll plow residential streets and declare a snow emergency . .. . is there any question about why this is confusing to people? Didn't have to move your cars that night, but yes for the next two nights if you live downtown. And yesterday they said they wouldn't plow the streets, today they are.
