21 meetings . . . 11 before 5pm.

28 meetings packed into 4 days, 8 of them start between 4:30 and 6:30 on Monday! 12 of them start before 5:00 this week.

So, the initial hearings (i.e. boring!) for the three cases filed against Madison Police Chief Michael (Mike) Koval were yesterday. I took video, they are brief. I wanted people to see what it takes to file a PFC complaint, since its such a mysterious process. I don't have a copy of the first complaint, but I will get one, here is the Sharon Irwin and Shadayra Kilfoy-Flores one.

Here's his initial report on his investigation. My first question is why did it take 4 months to have an initial hearing on an ethics board complaint?

So, I really thought the days of having to make these posts was over . . . .no so!

Also known as EROs!

I just realized that I shouldn't be calling this "Madison Schools" since it doesn't really cover Madison in the way most of us think about it!

Are meetings at 8:30, 9am, 10am, noon, 2:30, 3:45 meetings they really want the public to show up to, or are the meetings where they hope we don't show up? 15 meetings, 6 start at 5:00 or later. It gets worse and worse as the months go by . . . how do county board supervisors with full time jobs attend these meetings?

6 of the 17 meetings start after 5:00. Many of the meetings start at 8am, 10am, 11am, 3pm, 3:30pm. How is the public supposed to be able to attend or participate in these meetings? I know I'll be at work during these meetings, and I bet you will be too. Alot of meetings with no links too . . . :(

They say they are compassionate and well trained and problem-solving oriented . . . lets check out their solutions to people sitting at the top of State St.

Not often. Places and times where you can vote September 26th - November 4th.

Give them laced heroin? Fill sprinklers with pepper spray and turn them on? What else did the police suggest as strategies to get homeless people off the top of State St.? And remind me, what did that police code of conduct say?
