Election Night Results Follies . . .
Campaign results in local campaigns are usually in within 20 minutes to an hour of the polls closing. Last night, with hardly anything on the ballot . . . it was hours.
Uh, Don’t Forget To Vote!
Most people only have the Supreme Court primary . . . but its important! Vote Kloppenburg!
You might have another thing to vote...
2.5 Days to Talk About Homelessness?
Or at least a portion of 2.5 days. I know I'll be taking 2.5 days off work to attend . . .
Judge Doyle Square to have PUBLIC discussion!
Last night the Board of Estimates was supposed to make a decision about which of the two remaining developers to choose for Judge Doyle Square? What would our starting point for the millions of dollars of TIF and city assistance be? Not a single member of the public showed up to give input. Not. one. So, they decided to keep both in the running and have a PUBLIC interview with both candidates.
JDS: Option 1? 2? Or None?
Staff recommendations are out and the Board of Estimates will be voting on what to do tonight . . . of course, its scheduled for closed session . . . like it always is . . .
(New and Improved) School Week Ahead
Now that I found some more of the meetings, not listed under "meetings". Sigh.
County Week Ahead
11 meetings, 4 of them before 5:00.
City Week Ahead
12 meetings? Seriously? Watch for several more posts this week announcing meetings.
Republicans Attack Local Control, Pass Dangerous Bill Gutting Local Landlord/Tenant Laws
From Lisa Subeck . . . read it and weep. Another lesson learned about not trusting the legislative alert system to give you timely information - I thought for some reason the Assembly was voting on this next week, but apparently they did yesterday.
County Board, District 1, Candidate Forum

School Lessons
You'd think when you looked at the meeting sections of a website, they'd post all the meetings there. No, some are, the rest are in the Library tab, under legal notices . . . and apparently, there are still more meetings that aren't listed in either place. No wonder no one runs for school board in Madison, its like some magical mystical secret club and you need to know the password to get in. I asked for a secret decoder ring, hopefully it arrives in the mail soon!
WYOU Fundraiser!
Next Thursday. I have a soft spot in my heart for them, they taught me everything I know about video! And I'm still a member . . . gotta support the team! Silent auction (Madison Mallards, Kessenich's, Artful HOme, Willy St. Co-op, Petosi Brewery), 50-50 raffle and WYOU gets $1 for every beer you buy!
