Good morning, Whitewater
Common Council meets tonight, with an agenda available online.
Three quick remarks —
(1) The meeting will not include discussion of a chronic nuisance ordinance, an item postponed until a later date.
(2) The agenda does include consideration of Council member appointments to boards and commissions. Most interesting one to watch — appointment to the Police and Fire Commission.
(3) The agenda for Common Council typically appears as a pdf image file, rather than pdf searchable text, making it less useful than some other agenda the City of Whitewater posts. One would think that Whitewater would adopt a uniform standard, one most useful to residents. (That would searchable, reproducible text.)
It’s a great day in Wisconsin history, as the Wiscosnin Historical Society relates:
On this date [in 1838] John Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland. He immigrated with his family to Wisconsin in 1849 and spent his youth working on his father’s farms in Marquette County, experiences that are recounted in The Story of My Boyhood and Youth (1913). In 1868 he moved to Yosemite Valley, California, where he became a conservationist and leader in the forest preserve movement. His work led to the creation of the first national parks, the saving of California’s redwoods, and the founding of the Sierra Club. [Source: Dictionary of Wisconsin Biography, SHSW 1960, pg. 261]
