A mess as usual, I interpreted the two schedules the best I could.

If you ask anyone in the city, the two tools we have to create affordable housing are WHEDA tax credits and TIF. I disagree those are our only tools, but they are two major tools we have . . . and one of the two is in jeopardy . . .

And why. My county board supervisor was kind enough to spell out all her reasons why voting for the $108M jail makes no sense . . . yes, its really $108M.

Only two items? We'll see . . .

So, I'm sick, but I can't skip this . . . so it will be whatever it is . . . probably brief.

From the King Coaltion . . . plus additional events.

Here you go, but remember, if anyone signs up to speak on an item, or if an alder changes their mind or didn't get to the agenda on time, they may also pull something not on this list for discussion.

7 of 16 meetings after 5:00. Better than the city, but not good, especially since these meetings can require travel all over the county.

Another vacancy starting August 8th, no election. Will be appointed by the council.

(Don't worry the video is only 30ish minutes, not 2 hours!) I feel privileged to be working with Mr. Vang, who says all the things I thought Madison believed in . . . and yet we can't seem to get right. And he acts on it. More moving testimony from Mr. Vang. Hope to see you at the Zoning Board of Appeals at 5:00.

18 meetings, 7 on Monday, and meetings scheduled at such public friendly times as 11:00, 1:30, 2:30 and 1:00. 4 meetings are missing if you only look at the "official" city meeting schedule. If you want to know when the meetings are you have to look at the official schedule, in legistar and to be safe, the wall outside the clerks office . . .
