It's a quiet week for the Appleton Common Council: Our meeting schedule calls for full council meetings on the weeks of the first and third Wednesday of each month and committee meetings on the weeks of the second and fourth. This year March has five Wednesdays, so there's a one-week gap in the schedule.
While there aren't any meetings this week, city work continues as usual leading up to next week's spring elections. Early voting remains open in the City Clerk's Office downtown until Friday at noon, and the polls will be open from 7 am-8 pm on Tuesday, April 6. If you live in the 13th district, your polling location is Celebration Ministry Center (Faith Lutheran Church) at 3100 E Evergreen Drive. If you're not sure if you live in the 13th district (or unsure where to vote in general), follow this link to find your polling place.
It's been an unusual buildup to the spring elections. Normally at this time I'd be going door-to-door talking to voters and asking for their support but, out of respect for your health and mine, I'm not doing that this year. One of the things I have done, however, is fill out a lot of candidate questionnaires. This year I've received more of those than ever before and, in the interest of full disclosure, today I'm sharing my responses to five of them. Collectively, they represent more than 7600 words on issues of interest to individuals and groups in our community. They're posted below in the order I received them:
- Wisconsin Conservation Voters (endorsement received March 11)
- Fox Valley Area Labor Council AFL-CIO (endorsement received February 27)
- Appleton Post Crescent
- Realtors Association of Northeast Wisconsin
- League of Women Voters
I'll have a normal council update again next week. In the meantime, please have a safe, happy and healthy holiday week and spring break.
