22 meetings start before 5:00, if you work til 5:00, there are 5 out of the 32 meetings you might be able to get to on time. Do you get teh feeling that anyone in city hall cares about this issue? Anyone?

So the proponents of Wisconsin state referendum question #1, a constitutional amendment to protect the transportation fund, put out a video to convince the...

So,numbers came out yesterday on the annual count of the homeless in the Madison/Dane County. The numbers are grossly undercounted since we only count in Madison, and there are serious questions about how the count is done, simply because homeless people usually try NOT to be found, so they are likely missed. The increase since 2011 is really disturbing. The simultaneous decrease in day shelter services, especially in the winter, is nothing short of disturbing. No surprise, really, if you follow my blog.

Finishing up the Tuesday night meeting results.

I'm not sure if anyone even cares about these. 2 people registered on the capital budget. Rosemary Lee against removing the philosopher stones and trees at the top of state and Anne Reynolds registered against cutting the cooperative funding.

5 more meetings that just couldn't get in on Friday . . . sigh . . . 2 meetings today, 1 tomorrow, 2 Thursday. I've timed a few more posts today because I just had too much to blog. See blogs at 11:00, 1:00 and 3:00.

Yesterday the Town of Madison voted to appeal the Board of Adjustments decision, delaying the Town of Madison (1490 Martin St.) location for a day center. Here is Shine 608's decision to not continue being strung along.

Ugh, the little bit of money that the county does get for housing is determined by CDBG and HOME regulations where HUD requires plans and public input, but I bet you (unless you are a long time housing advocate) have never heard of it. Well, the "public hearing" was last night. I just noticed it yesterday when I was doing the week ahead and then couldn't find the plan that we were supposed to comment on. Sigh. And based on Supervisor Wegleitner's comments, I'm sure they are glad I didn't find it sooner.

Ok, I was a little surprised to see 34 Amendments! Election year antics? Doesn't really look like it. Check out this blog for who is spending the most, the least and other comments about this year's amendments. See how your alder did, or didn't do.

Here you go, better than usual meeting times, not so many during the day when no one except the lobbyists and insiders can attend.
