2019 Letters

• LETTER: Let’s get serious about Madison climate policies
  EDITOR: The proposal by Republican mayoral candidate Robert Catalanello to make Madison an “electric car mecca,” as an ostensibly progressive, “green” program, deserves some serious critique (“Catalanello’s vision: An electric car mecca,” Madison Eagle, Aug. 15, page 3). While the revenue structure issue he raises merits further consideration, it should not be conflated with utility or environmental policy.… Read more: LETTER: Let’s get serious about Madison climate policies
• LETTER: Affordable housing residents are our neighbors
  EDITOR: It’s been over 44 years since the Mount Laurel Doctrine, which requires wealthy towns, like our lovely Madison, provide their fair share of low-and-moderate-income housing. Something Madison has done so since the early 1980s. Some towns tried to comply. After another court battle, some remaining towns settled their “fair share obligations” in 2017. Madison did… Read more: LETTER: Affordable housing residents are our neighbors

  EDITOR: Madison’s leaders are on the right path to create more affordable housing for working class families, like teachers, cops, restaurant workers and veterans. You know, neighbors.

  EDITOR: Since jurisdiction over Madison’s affordable housing obligations was transferred to the courts in 2015, focus has centered on the declaratory judgment litigation.

• LETTER: Trump isn’t as far from Madison as we imagine
  EDITOR: Madison’s borough elections are partisan, meaning that candidates run as Democrats and Republicans. We like to say that in Madison we rise above such labels to do what’s best for our town, and I think that’s mostly true.
