Did Anything Happen Yesterday Besides the President’s Visit Round Up

Four city meetings cancelled, but most not til yesterday, but they still had the Library Meeting, the Overture Meeting and the Emerald Ash Borer Meeting . . . plus the following:

EDGEWATER TIF VOTE TODAY!
It’s the big vote! Here’s a decent description of why school boards oppose TIF. And Lucy Mathiak explains their lack of discussion at the end of this post.

WSJ MISOGYNISTS
Silly school board (5 of 7 are women) directed the one woman on the TIF Joint Review Board to vote no, but “guys”, vote with the the old boys club, ok? That’s just gross.

WHAT’S THE OLD BOYS CLUB DOING ABOUT THIS?
Will the Edgewater do anything about the issues in this article. This is worthy of a full post. More than 1 in 5 people in Madison live in poverty. It’s risen from 15% to 17%. And check out this:

Median income in Dane County dropped more than 6 percent between 2008 and 2009, and nearly 8 percent in Madison, the data show. That compares to a decrease nationally of just under 3 percent.

I wonder how many of those jobs were in government and non-profits? Seriously.
More/different info here.

DO OUR SCHOOLS REALLY SUCK?
It does seem we do excel . . . sometimes! Congratulations!

VANHOLLEN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND COME CLEAN ON KRATZ
Think about how differently Verveer has been treated, still, an on-going investigation after years . . . yet Kratz was cleared and 5 women have now come forward. Tell me it doesn’t have something to do with the Democrat and Republican labels.

MORE ON KRATZ, AND GUNS
Interesting, we have both the “top cop” and Madison cops blowing it when it comes to following the laws.

THIS COVERAGE OF THE RALLY MADE ME LAUGH
I think it was the last line that sealed the deal.

THIS ONE . . .
Well, Ben’s comments at the end were good!

NOW CHURCHES TOO . . .
Some people seem to think that businesses and churches can do no wrong . . . but we know there are no absolutes.

MG&E TO ADD MORE AUTO CHARGING STATIONS
It took me a while to process what this article was about. Automatically charging what? Oh . . . auto . . . car . . . electric cars. Car charging stations. Did you know we had any?

OH, YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THE OVERTURE AND THE LIBRARY AND THE EMERALD ASH BORER
This was only article my google reader found . . . Daily Cardinal on the Overture. My post on the Emerald Ash Borer is on its way – I have to scan something yet. Otherwise . . . I found nothing.
