He really wants you input, so he’s giving you plenty of notice of the meetings that start Monday and holding them in a month where the most people can attend. And yes, I’m being sarcastic.
Don’t get me wrong, he SAID the right thing:
“These public meetings are important opportunities for Madisonians to make their voices heard on the city’s budget priorities for the coming year,” Mayor Cieslewicz said. “It should come as no surprise that we continue to face a very challenging economic climate and a very challenging budget. Public input is extremely important to me as we work to protect services that are important to our citizens.”
He just doesn’t DO the right thing.
Here’s the meetings, plenty of time to get people to attend, right?
Monday, August 2, 6:00p.m.
Lussier Community Education Center, Spartan Youth Service Classroom
55 South Gammon Road
Tuesday, August 10, 6:00p.m.
Urban League of Greater Madison, Suite 200
2222 South Park Street
Wednesday, August 18, 6:00p.m.
East District Police Station
809 South Thompson Drive
If you can’t make the meetings, he offers another way to give input: mayor@cityofmadison.com. I’d suggest you let him know what you think, and tell your neighbors too. His capital budget will be out in about 5 weeks (September 7) and the operating budget will be out October 5.
