On Lab Safety, Grainger combining supply lines
Posted on November 21 at 12:23 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
According to Grainger President James Ryan, "...Lab Safety and Grainger Industrial Supply will have one product line, one supply chain, one e-commerce operation, one catalog operation and one sales force..."

That makes me think that anyone at LSS involved in writing, designing, printing or mailing Lab Safety catalogs might be affected. Same with anyone working on Lab Safety's web site.

Okay, so people supporting the children's museum speak of it as an "economic development tool." Saying that "families from Southern WI will come to Janesville to visit and spend money in our stores and restaurants."
•
First off, I'm wondering where these people would be coming from? I don't suppose that people from Madison would come, as they have their own (extremely nice) museum. And anyone living south of Janesville, might as well go to the (enormous) museum in Rockford. When you consider the fact that Madison and Rockford are much bigger cities, it's hard to imagine that Janesville would be able to come up with anything that could compete.
•
It's also hard for me to believe that visitors would be inspired to "shop and eat" here. Not to be a jerk, but what do we have to offer that's unique? I don't suppose that the WalMart, Shopko, Target and/or Kohl's stores in Janesville are different from the ones located in other cities. The restaurants here are also mostly of the "chain" variety, with none of them being particularly geared towards families with small children. Even the Janesville Chuck E. Cheese pales in comparison to those in other, larger cities.
•
If Janesville has $5 million available, I think the City Council should come up with a better way to spend it. For instance, how about putting the money towards incentive packages to attract business and industry to the city? Just a thought.

As a city, is this what we should be worried about now?
•
I agree that this suggestion hasn't been thought through. And the same can be said about a lot of the suggestions coming from the current city council members.
•
Take heart though, having something brought up by the council seems to decrease the statistical odds of it actually occurring.

"Truman asked how council members could eliminate the $57,000 subsidy but turn around and pledge money to build and subsidize a children’s museum, as it did this summer."

Yeah, good question! Where's the answer?

I agree with Warm:
"The children's museum is a ridiculous idea. Give the money to the gardens."

Please note that using the phrase "people of color" is vastly different from using the word "colored."

In spite of what a few of the people commenting here seem to believe, this article obviously doesn't use the latter.
