Something is not right again, the weekly schedule and legistar have different information and I had to put the pieces together again. And again, probably the biggest thing this week, the OIR report on the police joint presentation on Thursday doesn't have an available agenda.

There's a mockery of a public hearing at the state capital today on the bill that will further erode tenants rights . . . for the first time in 6 years . . . I decided not to go today, that my efforts were better spent elsewhere.

To right several wrongs. To save precious memorabilia, to save donors having to buy more sleeping bags, back packs, etc., to save volunteers from having to redistribute these items. To save the planet. Because its the right thing to do.

Every two years we revise our county board platform which we expect our elected officials to adhere to as closely as possible in their policy votes - some do better than others. This year there were pretty siginficant updates. Haters . . . 1, 2, 3, GO!

Taco Bell Veto Override and Bus Rapid Transit . . .

A former Madison police officer . . . someone many of us know . . .

There are several retirements and tomorrow is the filing deadline for candidates. At the moment is looks like . . .

They haven't posted a legal notice since December 18th . . . enjoy the break.

Heads up - the county board meeting for this week has been cancelled. (I've don't think I've seen that in the last 20ish years . . . )

Whoa . . .the weekly schedule (5 meetings, 1 cancelled) appears seriously messed up - it doesn't even have the city council meeting on it. Here's what I was able to piece together between the weekly meeting schedule and legistar (11 meetings, 8 with agendas). I wish just one of our elected officials cared enough out the public having access to accurate information about their meeting to take it on and champion it. It takes just one . . .

For people who live on the streets, they can expect to have a lower life expectancy and many will die on the streets. On the longest night of the year, Madison-area Urban Ministry pulls together faith communities from Madison to remember and honor those who have died while homeless.

^^ That should say "proposed to be" . . . but not much changes between the proposals and what passes. What became SB639 on Friday afternoon has a hearing today at 10am, notice came out yesterday morning at 5:12am for the hearing. Please stop by and register against if you have time today - its likely to drag out. Here's the details!
