I guess I was a little too hopeful that the staff got the message . . . I guess the official deadline is July 1st.

Because for a change, Dane County Executive Joe Parisi is being transparent . . . In addition to Heidi Wegleitner, John Hendrick didn't get any either. Oddly Jeremy Levin and Jeff Pertl didn't either. Neither did Robin Schmidt or Mike Willett. How'd your supervisor do?

1 non-school board meeting.

8 out of 17 meetings before 5:00 - those are the ones they REALLY don't want you (or the county board supervisors) to go to. Don't worry, its minor topics that the public doesn't care about like what happens at the Alliant Energy Center, re-writing the zoning code, criminal justice related items, and topics like trees. Clearly small minor committee and topics the public don't care about.

2 more weeks of late meeting notices and then hopefully we'll start getting more accurate week ahead posts!!! YAY! But half the meetings still start before 5pm.

I wonder what will be decreed from on high today . . . (I can guess).

Let us count the ways . . . there are so many I'm sure to miss some and just skipped over some, so please, play along. I think the Common Council needs to censure him. His behavior was atrocious and he's not above following the police department Code of Conduct. He's setting a terrible example for others under his command and someone has to check this megalomaniac's power on behalf of the citizens of this city.

Why were TWO uniformed Madison police officers at a neighborhood meeting last night about an 8 unit development with 14 bedrooms?

I didn't even read it yet, but you know, this year will be one of the toughest budget years ever . . . again. No one can anything to the budget, except when he does it for new awesome programs handpicked by him with no public process.

Democracy, equity, sunshine, open government, and, well, me (and you), all get to score a point today! And when you see the city clerk, tell her (and whomever helped make this decision) thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Seriously, we've paid over a quarter million dollars to just one guy to negotiate this things and we failed . . . again? Beitler apparently said they were done negotiating, Board of Estimates rejects their proposal and instructs staff to keep negotiating with someone who says they won't negotiate. Deadline: July 5th.

3 more . . . grrrrr . . . this is just insulting to the public. No worries, just voting and policing issues. Mostly just civil right type stuff. Nothing to get your knickers in a bunch about . . .
