The publisher of the The Capital Times seems to question the severity of Madison's housing crisis, which his newspaper has excellently and thoroughly chronicled.

Bernie Sanders is introducing a bill in Congress to establish a 4-day work week for the first time in US history, and it's backed by major unions including the AFL-CIO, UAW, SEIU, AFA-CWA and UFCW. People want to work less, and now there's federal legislation to make it happen.

“It absolutely is accurate to call it a crisis. ... “People are coming here. That’s not really up for debate. The debate is how we accommodate that demand for housing, and where." --UW–Madison Planning & Landscape Architecture Prof Kurt Paulsen Via Allison Garfield captimes.com/news/governmen…

For a The Capital Times story, I'm looking for WI folks who work a four-day week (#4dayweek) with full-time pay for 32 hours, the type of schedule advocated by Bernie Sanders & Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. If this is you, whether your employer is in WI or you work remotely, DM me or email [email protected]!

Wisconsin folks: Are you currently bound by a noncompete agreement, or did a past noncompete change your plans? I want to talk to you for a The Capital Times story, especially if you live in Dane County and work in a non-tech job. Please DM me or email [email protected].

ICYMI: Who will lead Dane County until November? Stay tuned. Dane residents still don't know who will lead the county over the next five months, a delay in appointing a top executive that has caused confusion among some elected officials. captimes.com/news/governmen… via The Capital Times
