So many meetings and things going on now that the holidays are over. ChiliOCRACY, Dane County TimeBank events, Community Building and Empowerment Funding, Emerging Opportunities Program, Street Closure 300 Block W. Dayton, Permaculture Guild Visioning Sessions, Green Downtown Program, Low-income dental clinic closing and Chief Koval community meetings.

Judge Walker’s decision in the Prop 8 trial is brilliant, and a wonderful affirmation of the liberty of all people to marry whomever God’s plan has ordained for them, regardless of the genders involved. I also agree that it’s clearly aimed at Anthony Kennedy, for a potential Supreme Court showdown. But there’s a good chance it will never get there.

I missed the Economic Development Committee meeting last Wednesday, so I was a bit confused about why the public hearings were not on the...

The press release sent out last night calling on the council to act.

Another casualty of the County budget?

Even I was surprised when I walked out of the City-County Building last night, there were likely about 50 people sleeping out there, nearly doubling what it has been recently. And that number may grow. Makes the Occupy encampments start to look good.

This is the City-County Liaison Committee, so it has alders, county board supervisors and the county executive's and mayor's office representatives on it, so you'd think they could get this right. This committee makes final decisions and there are no other votes on these matters, so whatever they decide is final. Sure would be nice to know what they are voting on. All three items are a bit of a mystery to me and they meet tonight.

Trying to keep up with the round up this week!

Short week again . . .

Equity Analysis isn't a one and done kind of thing, its an iterative process. At least that is what I learned at the Parks Committee meeting I went to. So, I'm wondering, what would it take to do a real equity analysis on Judge Doyle Square - how do we get it done?

Til Friday at noon. We had ours done by noon today, as did many of our neighbors. The streets tho, wow . . .there's just a path plowed down the middle still.

After attending the Ethics Board meeting last night, it really feels like there need to be reforms in the ethics process. "Complainants" hardly have a chance of being successful in the current system.
