In a letter to Dane County Executive Joe Parisi and others, eight Madison City Council members and four Dane County supervisors questioned the county’s plan to reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Wisconsin State Journalreport.
Alds. Patrick Heck, Marsha Rummel, Max Prestigiacomo, Syed Abbas, Tag Evers, Grant Foster, Samba Baldeh, and Rebecca Kemble, and supervisors Heidi Wegleitner, Elena Haasl, Yogesh Chawla, and Michele Ritt asked what facts have changed to shift public policy and reopen. The letter was sent to Parisi, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, and Janel Heinrich, the director of Public Health Madison and Dane County after an announcement that some restrictions on businesses and activities would be lifted beginning May 26.
