  • Monona police chief answers Madison alders

    Monona never sends a bill; Why does Madison want to charge Monona for helping? We’re in a bad place when your elected officials blame the police for crime. Welcome to Madison WI! As we related in a recent thrilling episode,  Madison Alder Yanette Figueroa Cole wants to charge the City of Monona some unspecified large…

  • Thank you, Monona police, for chasing the bad guys

    What else would you call at $2,388,000 reduction? Who are you going to believe, the Democratic-endorsed Dane County supervisors claiming they’re not defunding the police or your lying eyes?  Incredibly — as in: you gotta be kidding! — the chairman of the committee overseeing the Sheriff’s Office, Richelle Andrae, denied the county board majority was…
