Sorry this is late, our site was down and I couldn't blog! Oh my!

Damn . . . this was supposed to post on Thursday . . . still worth keeping your eyes on. What do you think? They are discussing it tonight!

Sorry, I've been 2 - 3 jobs at Tenant Resource Center since last August and blogging has become a luxury . . . . I see a light at the end of the tunnel, but I"m half expecting to get hit by a train. I hope to be back to more regular blogging by budget season . . . but we'll see. I have 28 days of vacation to use up!

Anything you show up to speak on, plus the following. The rest passes in one motion - bing bang boom!

Long story short, on May 5th the Bubbles Laundry Project got locked out of 701 E Johnson St. We switched to 306 S. Brearly and today . . . we got locked out of there too. Setting aside the illegal discrimination against people based on homelessness as a protected class, where can we do laundry Friday 9 - 1 where homeless people can easily get to and where we won't get locked out??

Chief Koval has another memo about the Council's report on changes needed in the police department. He seemingly says he'll do everything they want, but he wants them to change the language so it isn't a "lawful order". I sure hope they don't. They're voting tonight, email them if you have thoughts (allalders@cityofmadison.com).

Behavior Education Plan and Police in the Schools.

17 meetings - a few are missing tho . . .

This is what's available 8am Monday morning . . . clearly some items are missing.

What's that quote, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" . . . we're part way between the mocking and the fighting at the moment it seems. Alder Paul Skidmore and Attorney May had some less than stellar moments at the Public Safety Review Committee meeting during discussion of the Council's report on changes to the police department, including giving the chief a "lawful order".

Vacation slowed me down . . . so I can do 80% . . .

5 (noticed) meetings this week. Monday May 8 5:00 pm, Special Board of Education Meeting in Closed Session Followed by Open Session Workshop-- Doyle Administration Building...
