Good morning,
Whitewater’s forecast today calls for a chance of snow, with a high temperature of twenty-five degrees.
This may be a day without a public meeting for the City of Whitewater. There’s our mid-week respite. Enjoy.
When one starts a timeline, it helps to start from the beginning. It helps even more when the timeline is a genuine one, not something still being ‘finalized.’ Finalized is just another word for incomplete. That beginning — when need became apparent, was August 2008, not January 2010.
That’s eighteen months ago, not merely one month ago. If Whitewater’s bureaucrats would only try harder, they could count that far back — fingers and toes would be more than enough to get Whitewater’s leaders to 18, with 2 to spare.
The Gazette reports that the urban chicken movement took a hit in Janesville, with a measure for urban chickens being defeated, 5-2 before the Janesville Common Council. They’ll be back:
Resident Diane Van Horn said she was disappointed by the decision but predicted the issue wouldn’t go away.
“We’re not done yet,” she said, noting chicken advocates now are organized and have a leader in Allison Rollette.
The idea of raising chicken in cities is spreading, she said.
Yes, it is. Go chickens, go!
