On Council chooses Sedona man as likely city manager
Posted on September 18 at 8:40 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Personsally I think they should be trying to hire from within their home state. However, if you are hiring a city manager then you would like to see his works first hand. The thing about a city manager's position is that you can visit a city and get a feel for what they have accomplished. It would not be necessary for the whole council to go... in this day and age of digital everything, a few council members could make the trip and do a formal multimedia presenation briefing when they returned. I do think that the Janesville Gazette should be part of this contingency that will be making the trip.

So when you do decide to pay off the debt simply make a check payable for $490.00 to each US Adult (85 billion divided by adult US population + interest) and mail directly to each of us and we will call it even.
On Government steps in again, bails out AIG with $85B
Posted on September 17 at 4:31 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
In a statement late Tuesday, AIG's board of directors said the loan will protect all AIG policy holders, address concerns of rating agencies and buy the company time to sell off assets.
"We expect that the proceeds of these sales will be sufficient to repay the loan in full and enable AIG's businesses to continue as substantial participants in their respective markets," the statement said. "In return for providing this essential support, American taxpayers will receive a substantial majority ownership interest in AIG."
SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT WE ARE A SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY OWNERSHIP IN A FAILING COMPANY? DID THIS BOARD GET ITS PR TRAINING FROM THE ENRON BOARD? WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT MY FIRST DIVIDEND CHECK?

On Governor Doyle promises help for GM workers
Posted on April 29 at 9:12 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
When will people finally see how the American political system is controlled by large corporate America and finally tell the parties where they can go? It isn't any surprise that the Gov is stepping up to help GM... they contribute more to his campaign. I am curious as to what they are going to train these people to do that will allow them to find jobs in this area and keep their homes. The Gov wants to invest in biotech companies for Wisconsin... how many jobs will that bring to the area? Not many! When will the state and federal governmental barriers be removed to encourage small business entrepreneurial start-ups in the area that can create new jobs and stimulate the local economies and put people back work?

On School board will discuss cell tower
Posted on November 13 at 4:55 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
So if School Board commissioner Lori Stottler has reservations about it from a health issue doing something about it 10 years from now isn't going to be much comfort to those who have been exposed for this period of time. Sort of like closing the barn door after the horse has left. Statistics can say what ever you want them to and I think most of realize that corporate america can make them say whatever they want whenever they want. The number of people dying from cancer who have allowed these towers near their homes is higher. I have a very good friend who is the number one (top dog) litigation attorney for one of the largest cell carriers in the world and he doesn't use a cell phone. He never tells me why, he simply gives me a wink. There are pending cases that won't come to court for years simply because the lawyers can make that happen, but if my friends estimates are correct, it will dwarf the settlements reached by the cigarette industry. Corporate America will simply bury and hide their impact within existing cancer statistics and leave burying the people who live next to them to the families. This same global carrier 7 years ago was trying to sell the cell division even though it was more profitable than all of their other divisions combined. How come? Because of the pending litigaton. They couldn't get any takers... they later merged with another very large telecommunications company and changed their name and restructured setting up large trusts to offset the cost of any future litigation.

And Global Warming is taking place on 7 other planets and one dwarf planet (that is really a planet). When the media report that 2/3 of the scientific community believe that we are responsible for the current global warming trends they fail to report that the percentage of NASA scientist that take that same position is far different. That is because NASA scientist realize that it is a solar system warm up. Earth has been through global warming cyles before and their have even been times in Earth's history where the poles have melted. Taking into account that these events happened pre-industrial age, our contributions today are likely very small. That being said, reducing our carbon footprint is still extremely important to cleaning our air and reducing severe ozone days. I agree with Al Gore types about reducing emissions but for very different valid scientific reasons.
