Longest Night Rememberance
For 10 homeless persons who died this year was held on Saturday. Lets hope no more over the next few days with extreme cold and programs closed.
City and County Week Ahead
Um, there is none. City lists one meeting that is cancelled and the county has nothing listed. Everyone enjoy the week off!
Homeless? Doors Closing Everywhere
While the holidays bring out extra generosity from the community in the form of gifts for kids and other items - it also poses some real practical problems, like agencies and businesses and other programs being closed. Today is the day when it seems that many of the programs are announcing when they are closed . . . a bad time of the year to be homeless.
Psssst . . . County Board (non?) Elections Coming Up!
Filing deadline for candidates is January 7th, question is, does anyone in Madison even know? Or care? Only 7 races in of 37 districts.
And the Answer is . . .
The county answers my previously denied open records request, kinda, they gave me the information, but my request is still denied.

‘Snowattitude!
Why ya gotta be like that?
Open Records Training!
For the city :(. Maybe some county staff can attend?
No Guard, No Involuntary Commitment, No Services
Minor tweaks to the City County Building rules that probably won't do much different than what is already happening in the building - except make people feel like they are doing something. Of course, it all sounded good last night, but lets see how it gets implemented.
Monday’s Changes to the City Week Ahead
Five of them.
Why Not Just Tell Us?
Ok, why won't anyone say where the $50,000 for operating and $75,000 for renovating the day center is coming from. My first ever open records request denial - after about 20 years of submitting them without problems.
County Week Ahead
Last week before two weeks of mostly downtime.
