Tenant Resource Center Extra Hours for Moving Days
It's that time of the year, you've seen the moving trucks and extra garbage on the curbs . . . brace yourselves, here it...
Favorite. Sign. Ever.
Compliments of the City of Madison. They can't even blame it on the county . . . not this time . . .
Alders Dissed Harder than Neighborhoods and Committees
Wow, this is just embarrassing at this point . . . it's like they can't stop making the whole "broken process" issue worse . . .
Update on Changes to the Landmarks Ordinance
The Landmarks Commission has discussed this at 8 meetings already, and I missed most of them, so I went back through the minutes to see what I missed, here's my summary/highlights of the discussions they had in case you're also interested. They will be discussing this again tonight.
The Prop 8 ruling and the Supreme Court
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.
County Week Ahead
They have a new system for their meetings, listing more than a week at a time, but I'm not sure how accurate it will be moving forward. So, here's the meetings for this week.
Useless agenda week at the City.
It's August, so there are fewer meetings, but not this many fewer . . . watch for additions through the week, making the "weekly" meeting schedule a joke of serious proportions . . . usually, this is about 65 - 80% of the meetings for the week. i.e. they don't really care if you know what local government is doing, in fact, they really don't want you to know. Why isn't the mayor calling for transparency and predictability here?
Nothing to do today?
Unlikely, I"m sure, but just in case, here's a couple ideas . . .
Greetings!
Make Saturday a day of Northside festivity all day long....

SCFL Fails to Endorse Mahoney
Hmmm . . . major labor group doesn't recommend sheriff for endorsement due to his ICE policy . . . I'm glad someone is...
Council Cranky about Overture
Wow. They weren't very happy about voting for either of these items, the "comfort" resolution or the review committee.
