Mayor Dave Cieslewicz today pledged to fight against a high-voltage power line through the south side of the city.
He also said he will find more ways to band together with other cities to reach regional solutions that higher levels of government haven’t addressed.
In the mayor’s “State of the City” speech he was to deliver today to the Madison Downtown Rotary Club, Cieslewicz also plugged his idea for a local rail system of electric streetcars, calling diesel commuter rail “not a good fit for our city or region.”
