With less than three weeks until Madison celebrates Halloween 2006, the city is starting to work out the details of Mayor Dave Cieslewicz�s controversial plan to charge admission to State Street.
Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said arrangements for bands and stages are progressing, largely because of event promoter John Kunz. Though Kunz does not yet have a street use permit for the Oct. 28 celebration, Verveer said The Onion has already come forward as an early sponsor of the event. Kunz could not be reached for comment as of press time.
