Last week, Madison, WI Mayor Dave Cieslewicz bashed the members of the Landmarks Commission after they ruled in a way he didn't like for the Edgewater Hotel development. Even though the Commission followed the law as written - and even though Mayor Dave appointed them - he dismissed the Commission as "a handful of unelected people" and described the process as "fundamentally undemocratic." See www.cityofmadison.com And now, in this new public service announcement airing on the city channel, Mayor Dave asks Madison residents to serve on city commissions, stating that the city "relies" on their decisions. Mayor Dave is a funny guy.
