What a time in Madison

As I write this, high school students are marching past our building on their way to the capitol as part of the budget repair bill protests. Madison is a city famous for protests, but the likes of this haven't been seen in years.

National attention is being paid and it's always interesting to see how your community is seen. Many anchors on the cable news networks mention how the protesters have come out in the cold, not knowing we are in the midst of a thaw with temps in the forties.

Into the fray, our newest colleague Adam Schrager started work this week. Quite a time to start as a capitol reporter, but Adam has hit the ground running, already appearing on the PBS Newshour to tell a national audience what's happening here.

I'm sure Adam will always remember these last few days, and the way things are shaping up, we all will as well.
