More ineffective public input?

Ok – after being yelled at in the hallway as I was leaving Board of Estimates like I was a two year old by someone who disagreed with me questioning why we need 30 new police officers and what they were going to do, (and several other meetings) I came home to lunatic emails. Is there a full moon or something? Do these people realize that screaming at an alder or sending these emails is not an effective way to get your voice heard . . . ok, maybe I’m hearing it, but I’m not listening, the methodology and delivery are drowning out the message. Here are my top three favorite emails from the last week.

Number three:
I got this email 12 times in about 10 minutes:

Fix these problems so it does not consume our City NOW!

WATER, SAFETY, IMPROVED ROADS, UPGRADED INFRASTRUCTURE this is what makes a CITY.

So Visitors Come, Business Flourishes. So All those wonderful Artsy, Eatery, Musical Venues, Parks, Pools will be filled.

When you lose touch with how to provide Safety to Neighborhoods, Schools and you lack the fortitude to spend money where it is most needed like Water Improvments.

Madison will loose and all of it’s investments will loose and go else where.

Be very careful what you vote for.

Trolley’s and Rail are beyond pie in the sky thinking that everything is wonderful.

Wonderful it is not and Madison is going down hill right before your eyes.

Wake Up, Report on what’s really going on! Do you know the score? The Doppers Do, The Gangers Do, The Prositutes Do, The Robbers Do,

Those who don’t understand or don’t want to have a vibrant community all Know the Score how about YOU!

Get Refocused on what makes a city vibrant before it’s too late. It’s time to get serious about many things you have gone too far in other directions and lost touch with how to Manage a City!

Number two:
The same guy that has emailed me in the past saying “First thing we do, kill all the lawyers”, sent us an email with the heading “Hate”. Normally I ignore the emails as they are hardly ever anything but calling us names, but I have to admit, I really wanted to know what this one said. Here it is:

It’s all about “hate Bush,” nothing else. Those with brains can see through the loons in Madison/Dane County. What sort of planning goes into a meeting that lasts 9 hours? You can’t get a handle on City problems, but you can waste everyone’s time on an issue that even Senator Feingold does not support. How about fixing cost over-runs on the pool, bus system, convention center, Overture center, et. al.

One had only to visit the Labor Temple Labor Day last Monday. It was all the far left-wing, socialists, Communists, and Bush haters rolled into one event. Everyone was drinking Progressive Dane Kool-aid. Well, not everyone.

At least there are some level heads on the City Council, Lauren Cnare being one of them.

Number one:
We’re clearly on some O’Reilly or Limbaugh website and get these emails from time to time, but this one was one of my favorites:
