It will be interesting to see how this impacts Madison, looks like we could be losing Section 8 vouchers and maybe some staff. There were also cuts to CDBG (8%) funding as well. Looks like they cut 100% of the funds for Economic Development Initiative, Brownfields Redevelopment, Energy Innovation Fund and Hope VI - which I believe the city was working on an application for Truax for (not sure which fiscal year. Wonder if the council took this into consideration in passing its budget - I didn't hear it mentioned.

That means arts. Music. Theater. Dance. etc. What do you think Madison should be doing better or more? Your input is needed starting next week.

So, a blog post-lite, but here's the basics.

It's hard to focus on anything local or tomorrow's elections with the latest Walker assault on our Wisconsin way of life. But, here it is.

4 meetings this week.

Special election coming up . . . if interested, its a short timeline to get papers and run a race for the April Elections.

Very confused, when my dvr started recording there just did item 11, not sure what they did with it . . . they passed the rest of the agenda except items 12 & 13. They adopted items 1 - 10. Then went on to James Doyle Square and the budget.

Liberals on the county board are a funny bunch, and lately, they rarely, as a group, fail to disappoint for their complete lack of understanding of the issues and for the petty reasons they use to vote for or against something, and usually it has something to do more with internal power structure than the issue at hand.

A letter and call to action for tonight - trapping in county parks?

I know of 4 people who slept outside last night.

I wonder how much they will put on their lobbying report for making the video?

Oh yeah, remember the round up? I should probably start doing that again, eh? Anyways, here's a bunch of random things I have from this week.
