Alcohol issues on several agendas, public hearing on the operating budget at the council meeting, special presentation on "New Americans in Madison and Dane County", action about the flooding and the city asking to have a joint city/county committee on flooding . . . and more!

Move it across the street.

Here's how you get one . . .

Also a big budget meeting - on the same night as the city.

Action Alert from the Wisconsin Council of Churches. This drives me nuts, this is the one benefit that people down on their luck can apply for and get and get quickly. Unlike medical care, disability, housing assistance, child care assistance, etc.

The other day I was talking to one of my homeless friends that that lives on the street and he told me that the police told him to drink in Law Park, and I thought that was strange and told him I was going to look that up and let him know what the law said, because I thought it was banned there (and I voted against it). Then I noticed that Clausius and Ahrens were banning alcohol in Mayfair and Sherry (O.B.) Park. So, here's the info, which parks can you drink in, when and where and how

Annoying. Here's two more meetings already posted.

25 meetings this week.

Only 13 meetings . . .

At noon today on WORT I will be talking with Alder David Ahrens, School Board Member TJ Mertz and Activist Susan Pastor about why we all should care about another big building or two downtown on the two blocks where the municipal building and the government east parking ramp is.

This is just embarrassing. Apparently, its just too complex and we've never done it this way before - so we weren't prepared. Really? You gotta be kidding me.
