🚨 How UW got ‘real cops’ on campus

⚖️ Embattled Alder Vows To Finish Term

• District 18 Ald. Charles Myadze intends to finish his term on the Madison City Council, as a majority of his fellow alders support a resolution to censure him.
• A city-funded outside investigation into multiple sexual harassment and assault complaints against Myadze concluded that the accusations were credible, but that Myadze did not violate the law or city rules. Myadze denies the accusations and said he intends to finish his term on the council.
• Stay tuned: City Cast Madison recently interviewed Ald. Juliana Bennett, one of the women accusing Myadze of misconduct. That show will air following the Thanksgiving break, so be sure you’re subscribed to City Cast Madison wherever you listen to podcasts. [Channel 3000]

⛪ Community Mourns Rev. Richard Jones Sr.

• Jones also served as a public defender handling major crimes throughout the state. He was involved in the community in many ways, and is being remembered for his compassion and commitment.
• “Rev. Jones was not only a spiritual leader but a pillar of strength for many,” said Mt. Zion’s current senior pastor, Rev. Marcus Allen. Jones’ funeral will be held Saturday at High Point Church. [Madison365]
