Three Useful Sites and Three Not Useful...


1. I think that two old A-T articles give us an idea of landlord and off-campus housing problems. Both articles are older, but both discuss city proposals that were up for aproval at one time. I am trying to see if both were inacted or are revised in some way over the years. I guess I find this interesting because students could relate to something like this and get involved in elections if it was an idea proposed by a candidate.

2. http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/Community_Development/Municipal_Codes/Codes_Index.htm

I find this useful because it lists all the city ordinances. There are probably some on here that people have problems with but never discuss.


3. Something interesting but not too useful: http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/Community_Development/Municipal_Codes/Codes_Index.htm

This discusses the new water park that is being developed. I guess i find it cool that the millions needed to build it was collected through donations.

4. http://web.lexis-nexis.com/universe/document?_m=381802a33d78d698123aebc65fb716d7&_docnum=23&wchp=dGLbVzb-zSkVb&_md5=0f627f5bba75ad10c042af102d5cae4e

I find this an interesting article, again related to student housing, from Ohio State University. It doesn't really pertain to city council project, but it shows what other schools do to help people with poor housing and bad landlords.

5. http://michelle4oshkosh.blogspot.com/ This is one of the candidates blogs. Interesting, but not much here. It could become useful in the future.

6. http://www.oshkoshpolitics.blogspot.com/ An interesting blog about wisconsin politics, but it seems to focus on state rather than local oshkosh. I guess it isn't useful for what we are doing now, but maybe he will post about the elections for council sometime (doubt it though.)
