Mayor Dave Cieslewicz announced his intention to appoint Mark Woulf as an Alcohol License Review Committee voting member Monday.
Following The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board's recent meeting with Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, budgetary issues tended to push other topics to the back burner. One subject that we made sure to address however was the recent compromise Cieslewicz brokered with the Common Council regarding a student serving on the Alcohol License Review Committee. After convincing Ald. Bryon Eagon, Dist. 8, to remove language making the student voting member a permanent position, Cieslewicz vowed to nominate a student to the seat once two new voting members were added to the ALRC.
My name is Bryon Eagon—and no, my first name isn't misspelled. In addition to being a student at UW-Madison, I have the privilege of representing the 8th District as an alder on the City Council here in Madison. Technically, we call it the Common Council, but that's just semantics. Students are the economic, social and cultural engine of Madison, so our opinions and ideas are vital to shaping the future of this great city. But my voice is just one among tens of thousands of young people here in Madison; that's where you come in. I want to know your thoughts, complaints, suggestions and ideas to help inform my priorities and decisions. Why should students care about the micro of micro levels of government when there are more attractive and flashy issues at the state or national level? Let me try to explain.
With the Common Council preparing to give final votes on both the Capital and Operating Budgets for 2010 on Tuesday and Wednesday, many alders have requested more information on several controversial amendments.

Mayor Dave Cieslewicz announced his intention of appointing a student voting member to the Alcohol License Review Committee Monday.
Remember that issue of the Alcohol License Review Committee student voting member? That thing The Daily Cardinal has been harping on for over a week now?
For the past week, The Daily Cardinal has called upon students to contact city alders and express their support for District 8 Ald. Bryon Eagon's proposal to add a student voting member to the Alcohol License Review Committee. Spurred by the ALRC's unanimous rejection of the proposal, we have lauded Eagon's idea, printed contact information for the Common Council and called for a boycott of the Nitty Gritty, the bar owned by Marsh Shapiro, one of the most vehement and dismissive opponents of the student voting member. We feel all of these actions have been important to improve the chances the full Common Council will approve the proposal.
Associated Students of Madison unanimously voted to officially endorse a Common Council amendment that would make a permanent position for a student representative on the Alcohol License Review Committee.
Members of ASM's Legislative Affairs Committee met Tuesday night to discuss plans for Madison's downtown area and the recent debate over whether the Alcohol License Review Committee should have a student voting member.
With last week's rejection by the Alcohol License Review Committee of District 8 Ald. Bryon Eagon's proposal to add a student vote to the committee, the issue now moves to the full Common Council. In the time between now and the upcoming vote, we urge students to get involved in the issue and express their opinions concerning student involvement in city policy.
As should be plainly obvious to anybody glancing at today's opinion page, this past Tuesday Madison's Alcohol License Review Committee rejected a proposal by District 8 Ald. Bryon Eagon to create a permanent student position on the ALRC. The proposal had previously been approved by the Common Council Organizational Committee, a body akin to the Committee on Rules in the state Legislature.
The Alcohol License Review Committee is one of the most important bodies in Madison's government, tasked with coordinating and implementing all alcohol related policies in the city. From approving the liquor licenses of new bars to coordinating with police, the ALRC has a lasting effect on how city residents use alcohol. And when a city loves its alcohol as much as Madison, there will always be a wealth of issues to deal with. Yet until recently the voices of students have been comparatively absent on the committee, with a non-voting student advisory position added only last semester.
Two major downtown redevelopments have continued to remain controversial among community members, as well as the city's Common Council.
Students could soon see members of the Madison Police Department patrolling the streets with assault rifles.
Madison Avenue, the dance club located at 624 University Ave., could soon be replaced by a boutique bowling lounge and restaurant called ""Segredo"" as early as next semester.
Students who regularly travel off-campus to purchase groceries may no longer have to once a new grocery store takes over University Square.
The Madison Common Council voted to suspend, and not revoke, the liquor license of a downtown bar Tuesday despite its repeated problems with the Madison Police Department.
It's no secret: UW-Madison attracts such a broad and diverse array of collegiate students for its promising educational opportunities, incredible international achievements, indelible sports legacy and a perfect city to spend four or five years. However, the same fair city that attracts thousands of college applicants every year is attracting other, less appealing aspects—namely growing crime and safety concerns.
