Ok, I've probably just been to too many of these events to be anything but critical . . . but this isn't really what I expected to hear in the first 3 minute opening statements of the County Executive Candidates. They seemed odd to me. What do you think?

3 meetings - 2 at noon or before, one at 6:30pm.

Here's the propaganda. Trying to figure out what it all means it near indecipherable, the county budget lacks detail that is needed, so we'll see how it plays out over the next few weeks in committees as Supervisors try to get their questions answered. I have one email from Parisi and his budget memo below, plus a rant!

For people who live on the streets, they can expect to have a lower life expectancy and many will die on the streets. On the longest night of the year, Madison-area Urban Ministry pulls together faith communities from Madison to remember and honor those who have died while homeless.

I worked hard on this email today . . . so I'm cross posting . . . among the other things I do, I'm co-chair of Progressive Dane, chair of the elections committee and active on the . . . policy committee!!!! Did I mention policy committee?

The B team is in charge. Shiva Bidar-Sielaff is in the chair, Joe Clausius is making the motions.

A mess, as per usual - 25 meetings, 4 meetings in legistar without agendas (only 1 appears on clerk's weekly schedule), 4 meetings cancelled, 6 meetings start before 4pm, one is listed twice (well, actually, three times)? and who knows how many more will pop up this week.

Three meetings today . . . starting at 3:30 . . .

Yesterday was yet another amazing day in the saga of the fight for homeless rights and the Occupy saga. (photo by Jen Thompson)

Quite often in politics, it is much easier to elect the incumbent than to sit and think and compae the candidates and figue out...

The City of Madison recently did an overview of the housing programs it runs, here's the report and my observations.

Hey - I got an idea, can we collectively ban a few people I don't like from my community. For failing to use common sense . . .
