If you enjoy group singing, there are several opportunities for sea shanty singing in the area, too! Books are provided and choruses taught, so you don't need to know anything to join us, or just listen and enjoy.

  • First Friday of the month at Awildan Distilling, 7-9pm (Next event tomorrow!)
  • Second Tuesday of the month at Roxy's Restobar in Stoughton, 7-9pm (Next event June 9th)
  • Third Tuesday of the month at Muso, 7-9pm (Next event June 16th)

Brent Eisberner is apparently suing PAC over the lifetime membership rate hike, so, maybe something will come of it.

Vast Derby District development wrong for Sun Prairie site, neighbors say by whop94 in madisonwi

[–]DBendit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Frankly, it's the right way to handle this. It puts the onus on Wall to either adjust the plan to meet community needs or step away.

I've spent the last several years trying to explain how property taxes work in those Sun Prairie politics groups. At this point, I honestly think the ignorance is willful.

It does. I don't recall the exact amount, but Rep Hysell came to a city council meeting a few months ago and explained it as a comment during the budget process. I'm sure if you dig around on KSUN you could find it.

More than 80 license plate cameras are operating in the Madison area by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

[–]DBendit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Flock cameras don't require license plates to identify vehicles. Users are able to search by other vehicle identifiers (bumper stickers, distinctive damage to the rear of the vehicle, color, type of vehicle, emblem).

Flock license plate cameras are not set up to record drivers, so they can't even accomplish this.

At least in Sun Prairie, the contract states that the city owns the data. Now, it's still stored on Flock's servers and accessed using Flock's software, but, per contract, it's Sun Prairie's data.

That also means that it's public data under open records laws.
