And prepare to do your best Robin Hood . . .

Also, County Budget season!

Very few items.

These agendas are tough with their alphabet soup and jargon and lack of details. Here's my best attempt . . .

I found 6 meetings . . . I'm sure there are more . . .

We've named it, decided the major elements and where they will be implemented, put money into funding it, applied for grants, staff started planning it . . . now you can tinker around the edges and we'll call it a public process. Look, you're invited to the first meeting! Classic.

Search high and low, I don't think you will find anything else in writing that includes the city anti-poverty plan, except in the largely dismissed obscure HUD report. i.e. Don't hold your breath waiting for something earth shattering.

The all republican capitol is sure to set the state back centuries . . . so I'm starting a new Capitol Watch feature to point out my outrage of the day. There will be many, I had to choose one for today. Should Wisconsin be the new Arizona when it comes to immigration policy?

A unpleasant reminder that Legistar is only as good as the people using it- garbage in, garbage out. Actually, they just need to get the right information in there in a timely manner, but instead there is just no info or links, with a few exceptions.

Wow, the list of committees is not very helpful . . . since they are really meetings of subcommittees of the committees listed.

This item is a list of potential non-controversial changes to correct errors or omissions or to include things that were approved in other plans. They would prepare the amendments if this list is approved.

There are 23 meetings on the weekly meeting schedule now, Monday morning there were only 15! 8 added meetings so far, a 53% increase in 48 hours or a 65% accuracy rating, a D or F if a teacher were grading the city.
