Randy Coloni is joyfully retired after many years working in the State Medicaid program, then as Director of research grants related to healthcare for indigent and high risk populations in Ucare HMO, and in a grand finale, as a helpful hardware person at a local hardware store! A longtime eastsider, he now actively volunteers, delivering food to families in need through Thea’s Table, participating in the time banking and mutual aid networks in Madison, and through the SavetheFarm group, advocating to see the 64 acre Voit Farm property become a model diverse, sustainable, affordable neighborhood, designed with meaningful input from the local community.
