Madison City Council plays the Game of Thrones

In a stark coincidence, on the night of the farewell episode of Parks and Recreation, Madison’s own City Council President Chris Schmidt sat atop an iron throne.

At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Schmidt sat in his council chair adorned with a cardboard cut-out of the famous Game of Thrones’ Iron Throne.

Schmidt said the cut-out was a present for his birthday.

To Parks and Recreation fans, this real-life Madison city government scene was reminiscent of the time Pawnee’s fictional Deputy Parks Director Leslie Knope gifted the same throne to her husband Ben Wyatt, the former fictional mayor of Partridge, Minnesota.
