Oh, the same old, same old. Midtown Police Station, Monroe St., Public Market, Northeast side Libary, Southeast side Fire Station, elimination of downtown park, body cameras, I'm thinking we can just rewind and rewatch the last debates . . . tune in at 4:30 today as Board of Estimates enters the fray . . . here's their 34 amendments!!

3 meetings - unless they add more. Both the Board of Education and Board of Estimate (City of Madison) are voting on the police contract in the schools tonight.

I still can't find a budget schedule for them . . . has anyone seen one?

A cautionary tale, even though at the beginning of the week there were 28 meetings listed - they still managed to add 9 more. Sorry I didn't have time to blog this last week.

Budget battle begins . . .

4 meetings - Police in the schools (closed session), TIF Districts and more!

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!
