From Brenda Konkel’s April 18 Forward Lookout blog:
“The Chamber of Commerce was just one vote away from from preventing the City of Madison from giving input on about the F-35s. Luckily, reason prevailed. And please note, if you think all liberals are the same – that’s not true, there are big differences. Some liberals stand up for the Chamber of Commerce, some stand up for the people of Madison, particularly low-income neighborhoods that are impacted by decisions like bringing F-35s to Madison. This is what happens when people aren’t paying attention (i.e. not election time, media doesn’t cover things.) And wow, this is either “much ado about nothing” or it IS about something. And I don’t think alders would be fighting this hard to not do something unless it somehow mattered.”
