2005 was another succesful year for PD!

Progressive Dane had another successful year in 2005. We would to thank all the PD members and volunteers who worked hard to create a more progressive community. As 2006 begins, we would to take a moment to enjoy our accomplishments and thank our members for making PD as successful as it is.

Here are some of the highlights from 2005:

• Participated in the community conversation about paid sick leave and endorsed the effort. Details

• Helped re-elect all PD incumbent City Council members. Details

• Ensured that City budget prioritized human services.

• Offered extremely well received package of reforms to City's TIF policies. Details

• PD Council members were leaders in the Department of Civil Rights discussion and helped voice concerns raised by groups of color. Details

• Accomplished every one of our County Board level priorities for the year.

• Helped pass 'Big Box' ordinance to set design standards for large retail establishments. Details
