On Upcoming job fair aims at Rock County veterans

Having personally worked with both Dale and Charles, I can honestly say there is no one better to have on your side. They are great resources for veterans like myself, and would recommend them to anyone. No matter how many people they have in the office, they are willing to go the extra mile for everyone to get them going again.

bassman, you are right, the public cannot get a name from a license plate, however family can. I am an avid reader of the Gazette, both online and in print, and seeing a picture of a loved one's vehicle posted here before I was notified would be unacceptable. Its about protecting the family who just lost a loved one.

I especially liked the said mix they were putting in some of the larger holes over the last couple of months before it thawed. The road I drive on had a bunch of them filled, and within 2 days the sand was gone, and the holes were back in action. What a great way to spend city money, paying someone to put a band-aide on that falls off so quickly.

Define a reasonable price. If you are referring to the actual ticket price for a ride on the train, you are probably correct. However when you factor in the amount of state funding which will allow this to continue on over the years, I would hardly consider it reasonable.
On Are fees for fire services a good idea?

I would hesitate to consider this discrimination. As residents, we already pay property taxes, some of which goes to the Fire Departments budget. This means we are already paying for these services. When someone who is not a resident is involved and receives services, they have not paid taxes, therefore should share in the cost. Before anyone brings up that only people who own property pay taxes, those who rent do not, whoever owns the property you call home is paying taxes, and believe me, they are factored into your rent amount.
On Darien considers contracting for patrols

Actually, by statute the Sheriff's Office is required to staff and function the jail and the court house. That is why when cuts are made around the country to Sheriff's Departments, patrol and any special teams / programs are the first to go. Patrol is not a function they are required by statute to do, however if they are needed for a call for service, that is a different story. The contract calls for actual patrol, which can be valuable as a deterence, hence the charge to the village.

The difference is the Brewers brought over 3 million fans to the ball park the last 2 seasons, who spent money on food, drinks, gas from area gas stations coming and going, and other ways. Big difference from our little Ice Arena

At a previous Council meeting a few months ago a council member gave the number 57,000 as how many visits there were to the arena last year. This was during the budget process if I recall correctly, as a way to justify the spending. Obviously someone who goes 3 times a week for practice and such could feasibly be counted as 150 visits, dramatically dropping the unique visitors, but that gives a somewhat vague answer if that makes sense.

My Question for Councilperson Steeber, What Statute would that be covered under when you say almost criminal? Obviously a person in your position would know the statute book well enough, you should have stated further than just that it was "almost criminal."
