Latest Madison local news

What's wrong with this article? While speaking about area gang activity, Madison Police Chief Noble Wray seems to have strayed from the topic and all sensible train of thought - or maybe it's the reporter:

Wray did not tie the gang problem to safety in downtown Madison, which was the
topic that drew about 200 people to DMI's monthly "What's Up Downtown" breakfast at the Madison Club. He devoted most of his remarks to that issue, detailing not only the downtown safety initiative that started last year but also the changes he has seen downtown since he began walking a beat there 23 year ago.

Ok, I'm ready to hear about the changes:

Wray said that when he was walking a beat and saw a college student
urinating on the sidewalk at 3 a.m., he probably wouldn't have done anything.
But now that there are people walking their dogs or going out for coffee at that
hour downtown, the police get complaints and have to deal with those kinds of issues.

The change is (dramatic pause), he has to report and stop college kids from urinating on the sidewalks at 3:00 am...

Wray said those changes, which many cities would give their right arms
to have because they reflect vitality downtown, are in part a reflection of the sometimes conflicting expectations of the overlapping districts he sees coexisting there: entertainment, business, art/culture, special events, a university campus and residential neighborhoods.

What you're telling me is cities want college kids urinating on the sidewalks late at night when they are too innebriated to find a restroom, because it reflects vitality? Hmmm.

This is good journalism?
