KC News Meeting

I've been reading about some of the following things this week. But please remember this posting is not exhaustive. Some of you are relying too much on these notes to understand what's going on in your world. Remember, a daily diet of news is critical to participating as a citizen, a worker, a consumer. News isn't important because "KC's News Meeting" says it is.
Here's what I've been learning about. Use comments to add your own ideas.
- Madison tuition initiative
- NCAA tournament
- AIG bonuses
- Detroit bailouts
- plan for Afghanistan
- stock market rallies
- who is Tim Geithner and what does he want to do for us?
- violence in Mexico
