No lobbyists.

Apparently, the City of Madison has no lobbyists this year.

And I’m afraid to even go near the clerk’s office and ask to see the reports. Cuz, I will just get an earful about how they don’t have time. And they’d be right.

Hmmmm . . . what could we have done to fix that?

Amendment No. 20
Agency/Service: Clerks’ Office / Clerk
Page(s): 62
Sponsor(s): Alds. Konkel, Verveer

Add funding of $61,556 for restoration of the Clerk’s Office Coordinator position, to work on lobbying, special projects with tracking sunset dates and reports, election official training, bus drivers that help with elections, and legistar oversight

Various $ 6 1,556
Total $ 61,556 Levy Impact: $ 61,556

The clerk’s office gets to “share the pain”. The Mayor broke the tie. Currently the clerks office has 4 fewer staff people than they had 10 years ago. AYE: Clear, Gruber, Judge, Kerr, Konkel, Rhodes-Conway, Solomon, Verveer, Webber NO: Cnare, Compton, Palm, Pham-Remmele, Sanborn, Schumacher, Skidmore, Brandon, Bruer and Clausius.
