Any one else besides me think County Executive Joe Parisi might have a priority problem?

They won't be doing much talking, mostly listening. Nothing has been separated by the council to discuss. And the main is event is item number one, a petition submitted by police supporters. Michael May has a new memo about what this petition means. (read below)

Chief Koval recently wrote a blog in which he says "The Police are the Public and the Public are the Police." It sounds nice, but it doesn't erase everything else that has happened in the past few years. Crafting with a Cop, serving hot dogs at a community event, and having an article written that says that Samba Baldeh and the Chief have reconciled their differences - doesn't fix things. It ignores real and serious problems. It seems like a PR attempt to sweep things under the rug. It fails to acknowledge real harms and real problem. We have a policing crisis. They might not see it, but its real, and these things will do nothing to solve it. Hang in with me for a moment and let me explain.

It ain't good. Includes words like "go fuck yourselves", "assbags" and "glory-holing nincompoops" . . . yes, some of Madison's finest, Dean Baldukas and Scott McConnell. These guys are out on the streets and may answer when you call. Be warned.

3 are today!!!

Sometimes their alphabet soup makes their agendas nearly unreadable, there are a couple agendas I could tell you what they are talking about and of course, no links to help figure it out.

Same linking problem as last week - seems as though most of the City's Website was down this weekend, so I can give you what I can get . . . and try to modify later today if I have time.

Who thought it was good to send Matt Kenny to a community center for "Community Fun Fest"?

Now that I can see the rest of the agendas . . .

Now that I can access the agenda and after the 9 changes made yesterday, this is what I now have . . . grrrrrr.

Uh, what the heck is going on this week! Agendas are pure chaos this week.

8 a.m. today - see you there?
