Catching Up

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

There was a May 25 Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue meeting, a June 7 Common Council meeting (may still get blogged in as I have it half done) and now an Information Systems Steering Committee meeting from 6/16/10.

The Public Service Commission in Wisconsin ruled that the sale/leaseback of Menasha [...]
