County Week Ahead
Only 5 meetings . . .
City Week Ahead
Only 9 meetings . . . only 7 have links
Yup – Mo’ Meetings
6th meeting added at city, a cancellation and 3 weird additions at the county, no agendas.
Mo’ Freakin’ Meetings
Seriously. If the mayor wants to pitch a fit about something not being in legistar (its not our fault he couldn't figure out it was in there), then why isn't he freakin' out about the late notice for these meetings? Not just one item on an agenda, but entire meetings being noticed late! Hmmmmmm . . . .
County Week Ahead
7 of 16 meetings after 5:00. Better than the city, but not good, especially since these meetings can require travel all over the county.
City Week Ahead
Only 5 of the 21 meetings start after 5:00 . . . and I'm sure that there will be more meetings that are added throughout the week.
City Attorney Memo on Homelessness as a Protected Class
Hmmm, what do you know, no concerns about staff time, and well, no real concerns . . . should have know that the concerns were coming from the police department . . . . and their number one advocate Paul Skidmore. Sorry guys. Nothing to see here.

Input on Madison Economic Development Plan
I'm not sure what I think of the format, but you should go and give the input.
Tell Alders and Mayor to Provide Equity for People without Homes
Is the mayor saying that he thinks it is ok for landlords to refuse to rent to people who were homeless, or that employers could refuse to hire them, that businesses can lock their doors to them and government and refuse them services that everyone else can use? And that they can do that based on the fact or perception that they are homeless? How in the world will that help people stop being homeless? What happened to the commitment to racial equity and social justice? What happened to the work on poverty he touts?
Mayor Veto’s Unanimous Council Decision . . .
