What Will The Council Talk About Tonight?
Nothing? No items have been pulled off the agenda for discussion. Should be a short one.
Don’t Forget to Vote Today!
Most people will be voting on schools issues . . . but there is also a Mayoral primary in Fitchburg.
More Rules Don’t Apply to the Chief
How is it that our chief law enforcement officer, Police Chief Mike Koval doesn't have to follow the rules? First, he gets found guilty, but gets no punishment. (that never happens to you and me) And now, the good ol' boys want to grant him further privileges, and $22,000, for being found guilty? The council should be thanking Sharon Irwin and Shadyara Kilfoy-Flores for doing what they didn't have the guts to do, and they should pay their legal bills - and it would likely be far less than $22,000.
How much are our Kids/the Poor worth?
Let's face it, the military preys on the poor, who have few options. Madison Metro is helping that happen - at what price? Or profit?

This, and items people show up to talk about - like the budget and the Police Policy Report writer.
The County Board Rocks!
Rumors are circulating that County Executive Joe Parisi is gearing up to veto some of these initiatives. However, the county board supervisors are...
City Week Ahead – Geez, Who’s in charge of Council Agenda Management?
8 meetings before 4:30 (32%), 16 before 5:30 (64%). So, someone thinks 32 - 64% of the meetings don't need public input? Agree?
The Problem with George Austin & the Public Market Square
Has nothing to do with George Austin . . . per se.
Pay Living Wage for Jail Inmates
It's a proposal that will be considered tonight at Personnel and Finance Committee at 5:15 in Room 354 of the City County Building. Currently, for a 8.5 shift, they are paid . . . $3.50 PER DAY, not per hour. Seriously.
City Week Ahead
Only 5 of the 21 meetings start after 5:00 . . . and I'm sure that there will be more meetings that are added throughout the week.
