Madison

Ok, its not that exciting. Transitioning . . .

Depends upon your definition of affordable, I guess. But this is usually not what most people think about - affordable rental housing for people making $42,180 and up. And apartments starting at $1,055.

I don't know why, but I have a a sense of dread  . . . . what she going to do to us now?

Mostly, he seems to think, nothing to see here and this isn't within the committee's purview. It's sort of his mantra ...

i.e. the Schmidt/Bidar-Sielaff version that labor is supporting. I bolded the highlights for you. Since I'm throwing so much at you this morning....

Corrected press release . . . . given yesterday's weather there isn't much time!

I was an alder for 8 years.  It seemed like I was always running into a "no" - a brick wall.  There wasn't support to help you do what you wanted to do, just no.  no. and no.  This Alder Skidmore kerfluffle is just the latest example of the internal crap of being an alder.

Short week, but still there are 8 meetings.  Closed session police chief search discussions.

Seems suspiciously light, I suspect there will be some changes.

Interesting discussion at the Economic Development Committee, sounds like there is some backing off of the bold statements by the Mayor and the timeline. Perhaps some "misinformation". And, the message to the development community is clear, if you want to see changes, you have to show up, don't just send your staff for your various groups, cuz there's no data to support the concerns. And there are more open meetings concerns.

What does this mean for Madison?  Supreme court denied reviewing the case that upheld Martin v. Boise!  Now what?

Ahem . . . why doesn't Dane County and Madison?
