Good morning, Whitewater
Tonight at 6:30 p.m. there will be a session of our Common Council. (Sessions are normally on Tuesdays, but our elections this week led to a shift in date.) The agenda is available on the City of Whitewater website.
There’s also a new calendar feature on the City website, and it includes a link to agendas for listed meetings, and the option of adding the entries to your own calendar through a Google feature. It’s an attractive and useful addition to the website.
It’s Market Day pickup at the High School, at 4:30 p.m. today.
Although predicted to be warm today (about 51 degrees), the forecast from the National Weather Service offers a chance of rain, followed by either rain or perhaps light snow tonight. The Farmers’ Almanac is sticking with a prediction of mostly fair skies.
The Brewers won again, and sit atop their division, with less than 2% of the regular season now over. (It’s a 162 game regular season.)
In Wisconsin history, courtesy of the Wisconsin Historical Society website, on this day in 1866 African Americans for the first time voted in a Wisconsin election. Their right to vote followed the efforts of Milwaukee resident Ezekiel Gillespie to secure voting rights.
