Seriously, if you're going to be late, at least get it out on Monday! In the beginning of the week there was 17 meetings with 3 cancelled. 34 hours later, its 24 meetings with 4 cancelled. Expect more changes?

No ID required, this time! Here's info on early voting: Dates and Times: Monday-Friday from 8:00am - 7:00pm: March 23-27 & March 30-April 3 Early voting (in-person absentee voting)...

Just 2, but its only Tuesday.

Well, I started reviewing 450 pages of old and new police policies and then they sent me a different version and its very hard to know where to begin - so I'll start here . . . In the policies I've found lots of things that need review, and a bunch of things that just seem to be missing. A thorough review will take much longer, but here's what I've found so far of concern on this particular policy of interest. Did you know police no longer have to give you a verbal warning before they shoot - as of 3/24/14 and there have been 3 fatal shootings in the past year with this (mew?) policy. All three persons shot were mentally ill, under extreme distress or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. So much for de-escalation

Most meetings (13 of 21) during the day or all piled on Thursday night.

Looks suspiciously light . .. . only 17 meetings, and 3 are cancelled.

I don't exactly know how I got involved in this . . . but, this is what I observed and experienced yesterday . . . that ended in this . . .

We've been told from many sources that the jail resolution would go to Personnel and Finance on Monday and the County Board on Thursday, but the special meeting on Monday has been cancelled.

The Madison Affordable Housing and Homeless Advocates United (MAHAHAU) or commonly referred to Mwahahahahahaha asked the mayoral candidates some questions, here are their answers. Also, Monday, March 30th at 2:00 at Bethel Church there will be a brief 45 minute forum with the two answering questions from homeless persons.

Why are our Madison police officers killing more people?

Wow. I'm not sure what to say. More tomorrow. This is a glimpse into the bullying tactics of the police department with the elected officials.

The County Health and Human Needs Committee (aka HHN) and the Public Protection and Judiciary Committee (aka PP&J) met last night to discuss the jail resolution and came up with two different conclusions, which will go to the Personnel and Finance meeting on Monday and the full County Board on Thursday.
