I'm surprised by the endorsements coming out, since many are waiting til after the primary.

15 meetings, 2 cancelled, 7 held during the work day for most people.

Snow day proposal.

Sigh, more planning. But its important! Time to make your voices heard and help create the vision for the next 30 years or so.

So distracted . . . .

Also only a dozen meetings, only two start before 5:00, but they start before noon!

Yeah, that was proclaimed loud and clear by a local Downtown Business Leader at the Plan Commission. No, not before Walker was elected, but just last night.

Well, I got done what I could, I was triple booked last night. This includes the discussion on the hijacking of the Madison Metro bus for the Republican Senators . . . so enjoy! Part II and III may appear later this week if I have time!

Many, many hearings on the sustainability plan this week. I covered one of them here, two others were tonight.

Sorry, this is very, very late . . .

Uh, yeah, we have major problems with affordable housing. I think this was a sobering meeting for the committee members. I don't think they realized the depth of the problem with affordable housing in Madison. And honestly, I think they have more to learn. Many thanks to staff from Salvation Army and YWCA for coming to speak to them.

Meeting tonight to hear initial projections for the budget. Rummel has requested that CCOC talk about participatory budgeting. Here's some info on tonight and participatory budgeting.
