City officials held a “Halloween 2006 debriefing” for about 20 downtown Business Improvement District members and other observers Wednesday afternoon at the Madison Central Library.
“As a rule we can be pretty proud of what we accomplished,” Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said of the two-day party that drew at least 34,000 revelers to downtown Madison. No major disturbances broke out, and unlike past Halloweens police didn’t have to resort to pepper spray, said the mayor.
