Exciting GMM coming up on Sept. 28th

Progressive Dane has an exciting agenda for our September 28th General Membership Meeting. The meeting will kick off with a budget presentation from Mayor Dave. This will be followed by a question and answer session. If you have been reading our blog, you would see that our policy committee and electeds have also weighed in on the budget.

We also be discussing the Sick Leave campaign which is led by the 'Healthy Families, Healthy City' coalition. Details about this campaign are available on their web site as well as in the newsletter. This newsletter also has an analysis of the Candidate Agreement (CA). The elections committee has discussed the CA in depth and would like to seek input from membership.

PD members decided that coming up with a proposal to benefit locally-owned small business initiatives was a priority. We'll be discussing and voting on the Economic Issues Task Force's first take on a set of proposals to do this, which they hope to introduce to the public in October. Also don't forget that the Steering Committee (SC) elections are coming up in October. We will be taking SC nominations from the floor at this GMM. There is a newsletter article this month as well with more info on this process.

PD will also be voting on endorsing a resolution to Bring the Troops Home. There will be a brief presenation and question/answer period followed by a vote. More info on the group is available in this story.

See you at the GMM and then see you afterwards at the Beer Caucus for cold beer and hot gossip.
