Noel Radomski is running unopposed for the Madison City Council District 19 Seat, which means the job is his in three weeks. The Candidate Radomski Website indicates that both the Dane County Democratic Party and the Sierra Club endorse his candidacy. Predictably his position statements are consistent with the beliefs and goals of both those organizations. The following quotes are taken from his website.
Interestingly his biography does not mention that he was a Policy and Planning Analyst, Senior Special Assistant and Public Liaison for former UW Chancellor David Ward. The best published insight into his true thought process may be found in the story about this Wisconsin Economic Report from September 2004.
The first statement shows no concern that property taxes are already excessively high and the burden needs to be diminished. The second implies that City Council District 19 needs additional transportation choices beyond walking, biking, busing and driving. I’m guessing this means taxpayer funded local rail systems and not licensed privately owned helicopter taxi service.“I will promote fiscal responsibility by holding the line on property tax increases near the rate of inflation plus growth in new construction”.
“I will work with others to improve Madison Metro services and bike routes, and to advance regional transportation choices.”

‘To increase the state’s academic strengths, the report suggests that the government needs to play a stronger role in pushing these changes forward, reversing the trend of lowered funds and promoting connections outside the university.”Government needs to play a stronger role and money always helps is the conceptual heart of the modern day Democratic Party. Noel Radomski has reached this career point by being a dependable mouth piece for his superiors, and if he continues merely as a predictable vote for the Educational Special Interests and the Democratic Party, he can have a long career as a City Councilman. If he matures to the point where he listens to his constituents and learns to make his own decisions, he may have a future as a political leader.
“We must do a better job, and the state needs to support us in doing a better job,” said Noel Radomski, a policy and planning analyst for UW-Madison. “Support doesn’t always equal money, although I’ve never heard of anyone who said money doesn’t help.”
