This is horrifying. Mayor Pave and the current crop of very pliant alders are trying to turn Madison into Springfield. Illinoiz, that is.

It is a long post, but it is some of the best investigative journalism I’ve seen in years. Consider it your duty to democracy and in preserving the republic to read it, understand it, and bring the issue to your elected officials.

And make certain to read all the way down into the comments section. The second entry (the really long one) is from someone who was (is?) a reporter for one of the old Madison dailies. (I haven’t seen his name in a while, so he probably got caught in the downdraft of the print media). Quite an authoritarian rightist. And a scary one to boot.

Meanwhile, this Edgewater thing stinks to high heaven.
