Tenants outside the City of Madison will have no where to turn come January 1. Case management is more important than helping tenants understand their rental rights and responsibilities and doing mediations at eviction court? Tough budget choices. Does this reflect Dane County's Values? Does it reflect yours?

21 meetings . . . you can make it to half of them if you can get there by 5:30 . . . more if you can make it earlier.

Only 17 meetings showing up . . . so far . . .

Dropped in to check them out . . . a live-ish, recap. Development Process changes, Public Market timing and the city Certifying landlords, employment (living wage) and taxi companies.

News doesn't report it, does anyone even know it happened.

5 meetings you can make it to if you work til 5:00, 16 total meetings.

7 meetings you might be able to make it to if you work til 5:00. 21 total meetings.

Our city is just silly. We issues related to homelessness by attacking homeless people in the press and promoting stereotypes and misleading information, removing pieces of art (the "stones" at the top of State St.), threatening to ticket them, banning them from parks, libraries, hotels, whole business areas and services. And now, removing bus shelters. How long are we going to ignore the root causes and real solutions and keep coming up with the absurd?

Agenda "Finalize discussions on the capital budget and consider recommendations to the Mayor for the 2016 Executive Capital Budget and CIP." No further info available to the public. Let's see what they have to say.

Last night, the council spent quite a bit of time looking in the weeds at detailed questions about Judge Doyle Square and the alarming amount of questions that are not yet answered while they are expected to move things along. I'm glad they did that and set out clear expectations, but what about the big picture. Is this a change we want for the city and is it worth $40M in TIF? Here's my observations.

And so it begins . . . likely just two issues of interest forestry charge and Judge Doyle Square.
