8 meetings - looks like the first meeting of the Office for Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board. Wonder if that board ends up where the Poverty Commission is . . . where is that Poverty Commission????

If you're interested in what you can do locally to help our community stand strong against what will happen when Trump takes office, there is no limit to where you can get involved. 20 city meetings this week . . . something for everyone on the agendas, policing, local food policy, poverty issues, environmental issues, transportation issues, water issues, etc. etc. etc.

Not much, they'll save it all for the next budget battle . . . if they're still around . . .

So, after spending the equivalent of two work days blogging the City Council budget deliberations and 5 long blog posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), I didn't have time to say what I thought of the budget process . . . and then it seemed it was too late, but I'm still thinking about it, so I'm blogging it now.

1 meeting. Monday, November 21 6:30pm Special Board of Education Meeting in Open Session -- WORKSHOP, Doyle Administration Bldg. 545 W. Dayton Street Madison, WI ...

Only 5 meetings this (short) week. And its a miracle! 100% of the meetings are after 5:00!!!

Short week, but it still has a council meeting and 8 other meetings.

See Part 1 here. It'll be about 2 hours in when I finish the first post.

Yeah, so, after 8.5 hours yesterday, I just had to be here to finish it - call me a glutton for punishment.

After midnight, still on the capital budget - only made it through 12 amendments so far . . . 30 or more are left to go through . . .

Part One is the public input . . . first 3 hours . . . this is the capital budget . . .

So, whatever I type tonight is all you're getting on the budget this year, unless the go to a second night. Just. No. Time.
