Thanking the Elections Committee for its work and members for their considered input, the General Membership of Progressive Dane approved its 2010 County Platform on Wednesday. Covering such issues as Open and Democratic Government, Public Safety and Protection, and Economic Development to name a few, new statements include increasing vigilance on land use and development as well as opposition to the Sheriff's department practice of inquiring about immigration status and providing that information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

We, the members of Progressive Dane, join together to form an independent political party in Dane County with a major focus on local issues. We pledge to work to improve the quality of life in Dane County for all people, particularly those marginalized by economic and social discrimination. We will work to improve our local government by making it open, easier to understand, and accessible for all citizens of Dane County. We are working to achieve positive policy change by electing accountable progressive officials and mobilizing citizen action.
