Most affordable: The Hyundai Ioniq Electric starts at a price of $30,385 and has a range of 124 miles. Edmunds said the car s low cost and user-friendly tech is expected from a Hyundai and it has the most efficient drivetrain on the market, meaning owners will pay less to keep it charged. Editors said it wasn t the best-driving EV and the rear seat wasn t comfortable. But, Edmunds said it offers a lot of features at an appealing price.
Madison Common Council members raised concerns about the Madison Police Department’s alleged “intimidation” of the Public Safety Review Committee and subcommittee members during meetings.
The PSRC acts as an advisory body to the mayor and city council and reviews the capital budget priorities of MPD. The PSRC has several subcommittees, including a budget subcommittee that examines the MPD budget.
Matthew Mitnick, who serves as a committee member on the PSRC and chairs the PSRC’s budget subcommittee, said he sometimes felt members of MPD would challenge certain aspects of committee discussions without viewing items holistically. While Mitnick said the challenges themselves are not “necessarily bad,” he said the methods often came off as “combative.”
