Vowing to boost the economy, keep the city safe and protect it against “regressive” acts by the incoming Republican state leadership, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz on Monday announced he will seek a third, four-year term. At his event, Cieslewicz said GOP talk of stopping high speed rail, rolling back domestic partner benefits for state workers, reducing embryonic stem cell research and expected budget cuts to UW-Madison challenge “the very definition of a modern economy that Madison represents.” Also, former Ald. Noel Radomski, director of the Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education and one of Cieslewicz?s sharpest critics the past year, confirmed he will run for mayor.
