Last week the Associated Students of Madison came to Mayor Cieslewicz with the message that their constituents, residents of Mifflin Street, wanted to move the block party to April 30, just as representatives come to the City Council asking to pass legislation or approve projects important to the constituents of their districts. The ASM is an advocacy group, not an event organizer. The idea that ASM ought to pay for the Mifflin Street party because they campaigned for a date change is as ludicrous as the idea that the representatives should open their pockets and fork over cash for the projects they vote for.
