Brenda Konkel, Austin King and their political buddies used to pour their souls out -- mostly in vain -- for the poor and voiceless.
Now their leftist political party, Progressive Dane, is changing Madison, recently helping pass controversial, landmark laws to raise the city's minimum wage, force developers to build lower-cost housing, and ban smoking in bars and restaurants.
"For all intents and purposes, they are the (city's) governing party right now," said Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, who joined Progressive Dane when he ran for mayor three years ago and is mulling whether to actively help shape its agenda and tactics. |
