About two dozen people attended a public forum, hosted by this newsletter at the Village Green, with the four candidates for Middleton City Council running for the four seats in even-numbered aldermanic districts up for (re)election this year: Kim Madden (District 2), Todd Kalish (District 4), Lisa Janairo (District 6, incumbent) and Randall Crow (District 8, incumbent). All four are running unopposed, but they still took the opportunity to introduce themselves to their constituents and answer questions. These questions mostly concerned housing, development and Middleton's growth, but also City-employee performance metric and the trustworthiness of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A major topic of conversation, tied into that latter question, was a controversial new multi-family building proposed for Terrace Avenue.
