On Wisconsin on list of ailing states
Posted on November 11 at 2:43 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
OMG. A few comments:
1) based on the writing in these comments, we CANNOT afford to continue cutting education.
2) kinsohn, you are so wrong about the dems controlling everything in Wisconsin for years. The reality is that it was the republicans that held power, and it was only in the last elections (a year ago) that the dems took both houses in state government.
3) The whining smokers that are complaining about being taxed too much. Shut up. I don't smoke, but when I am around you I am then forced to spend more money on laundry, using more soap, water and electricity, all of which are taxed, so I have been covering your 'lost' tax revenue for years--even before there was this so-called lost revenue from increased tobacco taxes.
4) And while I agree that a two sheet ice hockey arena is a questionable need, it is an investment in the community, something we must continue to do if we ever want Janesville to become what we all hope it can be--a nice place to live.
Come on people. Stop spewing Fox News rhetoric and start actually thinking about the issues.
On Former Baraboo basketball star hurt in bar fight

Um, I know the thought was to get people to read the article by placing a cute or humorous headline (the flying monkey bit), however, there is someone in the hospital right now, in CRITICAL condition, and this headline is in extremely poor taste, and shows poor judgment. Where are/what are your editors doing? This is the kind of crap we would expect to see in the National Enquirer and not a daily newspaper.

On Deputy accused of sexual assault

Where's the photo of the deputy? Remember when all those people were arrested for improper behavior at the 'juice bar' across from GM they posted all of their photos?
On WI State Constitution OUTDATED!

So interesting. So, Mr. E, would you then say that WI Supreme Court justices should be appointed by the governor as well, since WMC bought the election to put Justice Gableman on the bench?
Only someone who doesn't know much believes that the State Superintendent is out of the mainstream in terms of administrative policy.
Dude, stay retired and stop writing bunk.

Why does the Gazette continue to provide Mr. Eyster a forum for his rants? Why do we continue to read and respond to him? Not sure which is worse.
On UW-Madison alumni can sign up for job alerts
Posted on August 19 at 7:05 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I am a UW-Madison grad, quite proud of it, and am thankful that the alumni association is providing this service.
I am however not proud of the comments by aj131. The UW extension schools, the UW-colleges (like UW-Rock) and the UW-System schools (like Whitewater) are great schools and serve their students quite well, and as observantreader commented, the faculty at the system/extentsion/colleges are excellent. We are lucky to have such resources here in the Badger State (which aj131 we are called not because of the UW-Madison mascot, but because of the badger-like burrowing habits while seeking/building shelter of the welsh lead miners who came to Wisconsin in the early 1800s)
On Janesville City Council members question Tallman repair expense
Posted on August 18 at 7:52 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Good job, Mr. Levitt. You made the right decision. Smaller investments now help prevent the $2 million bill that we saw in the report. It should be noted, as well, that the Tallman house does not need $2 million in repairs all at once, but that certain projects are more of a priority...if you don't take care of those, the overall cost of repairing and maintaining this architectural jewel will far EXCEED $2 million.
On Henry is so totally grounded.

Ummmm. You want off-leash dog time? How about trying the large fenced-in dog run called Paw Print Park on the south side of town (off of Hwy 11)?
You know, even if I feel confident at my dog's ability to stay near me off leash, I ALWAYS leash him--I cannot control other dogs or other things that may interest him--it just takes a second for something bad to happen.
I am glad that Henry is OK, now go to Paw Print Park!

On Should city toughen rules for historic neighborhoods?
Posted on November 18 at 1:19 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
It is clear that this proposal is a response to the debacle that is the Lovejoy House (Former YWCA across from the Courthouse). However, this is a slippery slope, and falls to the whims of whomever happens to be on the Historic Preservation Commission at the time, who may or may not be trained in historic preservation. The current make-up of the commission has almost NO members that live/own a home in the courthouse hill district, which I find troubling. I also agree that if they want to say what can and cannot be done, then they need to be able to help fund their desires.
