Throughout his first term in office, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz has made a point of leaving the office. This week, the plan was to venture into the private sector and ride along with Union Cab….
….Cieslewicz, once a regular bus rider who on one occasion said that he preferred not to drive on the Beltline, will ride in a yellow minivan with driver Jen Sutherland, who grew up near La Follette High School and started driving a cab in 1994. She’s also the president of Union Cab’s board of directors…. Sutherland answers some questions about herself and says she has degrees from UW-Madison in math and psychology.
“I’ve found use for them here,” she says.
“I’ll bet,” the mayor says. “One more than the other, probably.”
