Dane

9 meetings. No meetings Monday or Tuesday? Budget meetings on Wednesday, County Board meeting Thursday.

Shamelessly stolen from Dane County Board Supervisor Heidi Wegleitner's email to neighborhoods she represents.  I haven't seen this detail of summary any where else.

Friday's was jam packed, this one is a little light.  Lots of items in the news columns tho!

One week after Parisi released his budget, several committees already have budget amendments (not attached) on their agendas. F-35s discussed by EOC and Equity and Inclusion. Listening session on homeless budget.

News, events, updates from the city and more!

I find it interesting that people are outraged that they would need an ID to vote and worried about people being disenfranchised, but find it completely necessary to have an ID in order to give people food to feed their families and so they don't go hungry.

By Occupy Madison, Inc. . . . a new place for our workshop and a place to park 11 tiny homes. It is at 2046 E Johnson St. (Sanchez Motors) where Johnson splits and goes past East High, North Street and towards E. Washington. Next to B-cycle and near the PDQ.

Yesterday morning, I called the coroners office to confirm the death of a homeless person, for which I only had a first name. He experienced problems outside of Shelter 1, on his way to Shelter 2 or 3 for the evening. 911 was called, staff performed CPR and he died at the hospital. An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death.

I'm late to the party here, Executive Budget has been out for two weeks - public hearing tomorrow night in front of the entire county board and amendments will be flying through committees soon.  Here's the info you need to know!

Last November, 6 months ago, the state passed a law removing many of the tenant protections in Madison. In March, they passed another bill eliminating tenant rights and increasing landlord rights. With a 2% vacancy rate right now, its a housing crisis for people looking for housing, rents are increasing at alarming rates and the city is doing what?

The next salvo from the mayor's office is to institute a procedure to ban people from the city-county building like they do at the library or Lisa Link park. I think it raises a few questions.

Here's the city staff's analysis of how F-35s will impact Madison, including more maps. The deadline for providing comments is Friday, September 27th.
