On Rock County planning presents fairgrounds options

Posted on March 27 at 8:33 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I like site 1, option 3. It's far enough from hwy 14 that it won't conflict with prime commercial space, yet close to the interstate. Better yet, it's on the north side of town where the hwy 26 and hwy 14 exits will be utilized thereby drawing additional business to Janesville's most commercialized areas.

Doesn't get much easier then printing off a form, photocopying medical info about your pet, and mailing them along with your check.


On Is it 'a gold mine' or a fairgrounds?

Posted on March 24 at 2:01 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

I'm thinking that a huge, commercially desireable plot of land at the intersection of 2 heavily traveled highways isn't the best location for a seldom used 'fairgrounds'. I'm guessing that more revenue could be generated thru some other use of the land since it is currently valued at $50,000 per acre. Perhaps there's some 'cheaper' property more on the outskirts of Janesville... perhaps on the far east, west, or south sides that would still be close to utilities?


On Consumers wonder how high gas prices will go

Don't forget about the value of the US dollar falling vs. foreign currency. That's also another reason the price of oil for America is going up. As the value of the dollar decreases, it takes more dollars to buy that barrel of oil, hence we pay more the oil used in our gasoline.

"You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips..." - dunno who sung it but it's from the sound track to Top Gun (Tom Cruise's pre-scientology days).

I've been in warmer climates during the winter and over the holidays in years past, it just doesn't feel right. And there's just nothing like getting to experience all 4 seasons! Diversity rocks! Putting up with the bad weather makes the good weather all that much better when it arrives.


On Janesville's snow removal budget for 2008 is half gone

Posted on February 5 at 7:36 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Um... dcsnick1, we've had one of the snowiest winters on record so far. So more snow = more snow removal. It would be irresponsible to budget for worst case scenarios. Look for upcoming articles regarding state and federal aid to help communities cover these increased costs. Also don't be suprised if the city dips into some reserve funds to help offset the financial impact from this extreme winter weather. I'm sorry you're jealous of the raises the city manager receives. Perhaps you should run for the position when it's next available?


On Focus groups on children's museum

In many communities the Children's Museum is coupled with the Public Library and are wildly successful. I'm all for it and would be willing to get involved to help make this happen.

Ignorance is no defense. As assinine and confusing as the NCAA and WIAA regulations may be, they ARE the rules. People must be held accountable and responsible for their actions.


On Janesville sidewalk hearing tonight

Posted on January 14 at 9:16 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Walker, I read in a previous column that the city currently charges a $180 liscensing fee if you put in the sidewalk yourself, to try and encourage people to use the contractors who have jacked up their prices. Does anyone know what the price was per sq foot 1-2 years ago???
