Week in Review: Residents Upset with Neighboring Town
Disagreement on expanded Chatham Borough community gardens has caused friction for weeks now.

On Monday, we brought you a gallery of over 100 photos of a production by Madison children of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." We also told you about "Hang Up or Pay Up," a campaign by the Madison PD to crackdown on cell phone use in cars. We also told you about how the borough is looking into a missing Verizon cable at the Hartley Dodge Memorial that is costing under $1,000.
On Tuesday, we told you about a man who police say was overcharging and actually damaging chimneys he was supposed to be fixing.
