It's common knowledge to the ALRC members that there are bar policies out there that discriminate against people of color. They applauded the blog statements and thanked Sconzie for writing his blog post, even tho the Isthmus pulled it.

Wow, I was involved in the Edgewater early on as alder, and even I learned about what was going on in this article.

George Austin kept saying that we had to think about what was going to go in place of the landmarked buildings or that is should "add value" if we demolished a landmark when talking about the project on the 100 State St block. That was still bugging me, I don't see that anywhere in the standards for demolishing a landmark. He also said that Landmarks Commission made a recommendation to the Plan Commission about a demolition, which also, clearly was not true. They issue a Certificate of Appropriateness and its appealed to the council (think Edgewater). For his comments see here. For the real standards and procedure, see below.

Yesterday the Council was briefed on the proposals and all the "challenges" to policies that the projects will face

What do they want to talk about . . . mostly nuthin. These are the items that are separated "for discussion". Proposed Consent Agenda Exclusions Please note...

Really? And completely remove and then rebuild/replace another landmarked building? That's not a facadectomy, that's just offensive. Why are they doing this? So the Overture can host more weddings that can have a better view of the capitol?

Nearly 30 meetings this week . . . and they always add more . . .

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall...

Wow. This is truly pathetic.

The Council will vote on this tomorrow night.

Not enough time to get liquor permit, event cancelled. Bummer, because Tenant Resource Center would have gotten part of the proceeds

What do you want on your playground for your kids to fall on? Yup, that's the question!
