Madison

Sounds a bit familiar, but a bit of a twist. The mayor's capital budget does the typical "no new projects" but there is more talk of climate change, equity, planning, priorities and ranking and more narrative justifications.

The City sends out notices when they cancel meetings - I don't know how to get notified when the county and school board do, but here's what I can figure out at the moment. City cancelled 4 meetings, added three.

Tonight the Task Force on Government Structure is finally going to be making some recommendations - maybe. They are at least intending to try. The two committees that looked at Boards Committees and Commissions and the Common Council have finished their reports and the full committee will be reviewing them tonight at 6pm.

I haven't seen this in a while, but 11 of 13 meetings start before 5pm. 7 of the meetings at 8:00, 8:30, 10:00, noon or 3:00, 4 start at 4:30. Not very worker friendly.

A random list of things that end up in my email inbox that I think you might be interested in.

I'm catching up from taking a break from email for a long weekend, so I've missed a bit and I'm behind, so I thought I'd share because I'm guessing others are in my boat!  This is last week and the holiday weekend local government news updates.

Right now it lookalike only a presentation from the Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau and reconsideration of funding for Tree Lane Apartments security. Prepare to see the Mayor at his worst. Oh, and the meeting is NOT cancelled.

12 years ago I did a blog post about women on city committees. What progress have we made in the last 12 years? Less than I would have expected.

The City of Madison wants you to Celebrate Earth Day by recycling more and better!

City meetings that are cancelled. County Board meeting Cancelled tonight as well . . .

Now that everything is done being closed, where do wild creatures go when it's cold out, grace period to pay your property taxes, school board forum and more.

So, early voting has started . . . and continues through March 31st. When and where varies . . . here's the list at the moment.
