The only purpose with this membership poll is a negative one. Way to trash your own comrades Rock County Bar Association! Lindau, you should be ashamed of leading such an effort!

We also have progressive police and fire departments who seem to do alot with their resources, especially compared to peer cities. We have elected officials who do the tough jobs for no pay or compensation. Tired of the Janesville bashing. Stay positive and optimistic! It will absolutely change your life!!
On Is it right to spend tax dollars on Tallman House?
Posted on November 26 at 6:41 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
The City of Janesville funds this facility because it is owned by the city. It was donated to the city in the 1950's by the Tallman family because of its historical significance and its unique construction. It would cost over $3 million to replace or duplicate and it should be regarded as a city gem and drawing card for people to visit our city. We cannot be so narrow minded and allow this property to fall apart. The Rock County Histroical Society merely runs the property and does the general maintenance. Without them, and their many volunteers, the city would need to supply the staff. Lastly, we have a responsibility to maintain our old buildings: Grahm Shankland once stated "A city without old buildings is like a man without a memory". We need to embrace this grand old structure!

Let me get this right Eric: you enable the union contracts on the table to get passed quickly and pass it off as "good faith" bargaining and now you complain that the city cannot make up the difference in state aid because of that? What? It seems to me that you made the big mistake and all of us taxpayers are paying for it. Someone at your stature of office should have seen that coming and bargained with the unions that the game has changed. Because of that change you should have bargained better with the best interest of the city in mind! The School Board made the same mistake and now they're laying off 130 people. Wake up Eric!!!

On Janesville Fire Department busier in 2010
Posted on January 21 at 4:55 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
The statement made that we have the same number of firefighters now, in 2011, as we did in 1980 is incorrect. Station #4 opened in August 1980 and staffing was gradually added until approximately 80 firefighters were on staff. Station #5 was opened in 1995 and staffing was also added then.

Deputy Boeche saved that man's life! Bravo!! Also, kudos to the support responders who arrived and got the man out of the water and into medical care. We owe these people more than their modest wages for doing these things that most people wouldn't and couldn't do. That is why their pensions are important-they earn it!
