City Week Ahead

Shitshow as per usual. Hard to tell what is going on – 5 committees missing agendas, 2 in legistar not on weekly schedule . . . do any of our elected officials care that the public can’t tell what the hell is going on unless they are an insider? Do the insiders even know? It’s absurd you have to look in 2 places to put together one week’s worth of agendas and the info is all so confusing and incomplete. Please ask them to be more transparent and fix this! allalders@cityofmadison.com and mayor@cityofmadison.com
