Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said Friday that he will not attempt to charge UW-Madison’s student government for costs associated with changing the date of the Mifflin Street block party, disappointing city officials who had asked him to do so.
“Because billing (Associated Students of Madison) would be legally without foundation and ultimately futile, I have decided not to send the bill you request,” Cieslewicz wrote in response to 11 City Council members, led by District 7 Ald. Zach Brandon, who suggested the idea in a letter Tuesday.
