Capital budget Tuesday and the end of September. My favorite meeting this week, 4:30 AM Public Library Board! :) See you there!

The first round of Capital Budget Amendments are out, and included is a proposal from Scott Resnick to start a Madison Co-op Internet Utility, and a proposal from Paul Soglin for expanding Internet connectivity at “community and cultural” centers The budget amendments don’t get a lot of space to really explain the background information and details, so I thought I’d round up a few documents and put things in one place.

5 - 7, 304 N Third St (or 2046 E. Johnson), ok to park in parking lot behind us on 3rd St., good food, self tours, donations welcome but not required. Come see our amazing progress. Target open date: November 1st!

Double down on the mayor's efforts!

It's the ex-alder in me, I feel obligated to pass this along, plus, I've been sick and have nothing else to blog about! :) And someone is going to ask, and I will be able to say "it's on my blog" and quickly find it!

Very few items.

So, there will be no day center again this winter and once again, for the 4th year in a row, are planning a temporary solution. What is wrong with this community that we can't get this right? I can't believe we are building a tiny house village that will be ready before a permanent comprehensive day center for people who are homeless. Even at my most cynical moments, I would have never imagined it.

In case you have not heard, Scott Walker's campaign manager, Michael Grebe,  is suing the Madison School District.    Well, Grebe could not sue the...
