I think not.

What it looks like as of this morning, as always, watch for adds to the weekly schedule, cuz there are always meetings they add throughout the week.

I'm not an environmentalist activist or well versed in the issues - but this one seems kinda obvious. I'm surprised we had to spend so much time (and money) getting studies done.

“Coworking Spaces” and “Hackerspaces” are two important ideas that you should know about but very well may not. They’re coming to Madison, so read on to learn more.

Not much by way of news, at least not the news I'm interested in

So, the Plan Commission is hearing about the conditional use for the day resource center tonight. If they approve it, (and its not appealed) this will be the final step to it opening sometime next year! Exciting? Or, more likely anti-climactic as it is after waiting for 7 years and being disappointed in the operator of the facility and their model for services. Local businesses have given a ABSURD list of conditions, local advocates have a long list of concerns and the city council and county board have been largely ignored when telling the staff to include adequate storage, laundry facilities and that they will not be funding additional services beyond the day resource center. So, it will interesting to see how this all turns out, see below for a list of concerns that are not adequately addressed.

Only 15 meetings, one cancelled . . . honestly, I can't and don't keep up with all the changes throughout the week, its kinda overwhelming and ridiculous to post about it every day . . . at the moment, there are at least 4 agendas missing that we know of - typical offenders - Madison Food Policy Committee, Public Market Committee, Community Development Block Grant Committee and who knows what will be added to that throughout the week.

The Village/Town of Cottage Grove merger talks merger talks have been put on hold. I have written before on the...

I'm less optimistic after last week's performance of the so-called "weekly schedule", so instead of 80% I"m going with 70% and I'm hoping it doesn't dip into the 60's like it did last week.

Wow, thanks to everyone who made the dedication of the Nan Cheney Community Room such a wonderful event! Check out the video and please help thank everyone who made it happen! No more squeaky chairs!

Interesting use of county resources to influence legislative activity . . . er, some call it lobbying, especially when you are getting paid for your efforts. And, well, here's the talking points for those who support removing people from the city county building . . . nothing to see here, its all taken care of, services are being provided! Those homeless people are violent and present a danger to us all!

Yeah 14. We only have 4 races for 37 county board seats, but when you don't have to campaign, raise money, deal with nastiness, etc. we have plenty of people willing to serve . . . by tomorrow, it will be decided who will be filling this seat.
