Hey folks,
OK, calm down. No, it's not a 22-year-old boy. It's been fixed to the correct 2 1/2 year old. When our stories get copy and pasted into our online system, it sometimes removes fractions for some reason, and we just missed correcting this one. Thanks.

eville, Here's what I wrote in a previous story regarding your question:
Calls for service increased 16 percent from 2007 to 2008, McElroy said. Last year, the department had 10,503 calls for service—up from 6,635 in 2002.
License plate renewals also increased 20 percent last year over 2007, and vehicle inspections increased 49 percent.
"We're getting busier all the time, and staff stays real busy as it is, so we are ready now to add, but we just couldn't afford it," McElroy said.

Ohh, that's tempting, sannio. Thanks for the offer. While I'm quite experienced running a splitter (and I'm not even kidding), I'll only help if I get to run the chainsaw. :)

Does anyone know if there is a 24-hour gym in the Janesville? I've written about this one in Evansville: http://www.gazettextra.com/weblogs/e-lif.... And the management in Whitewater is considering making that facility open 24-hours: http://www.gazettextra.com/news/2008/dec...

Gilly and Pat, here's what I know:
1. The bid was $885,069. The council approved borrowing for $1,365,000, which includes the contractor and project manager costs, permit fees, about $170,000 in contingencies "for surprises," and payment to the landowners receiving the dredged material.
2. The partial rerouting of the creek is not included in the project, and the city may or may not decide to do it in the future. A couple council members have said it should be done, but not for awhile. No official pricetag on that. Estimates have ranged from up to $200,000, while another was $200,000 to $400,000.
5. Creek walls already have $100,000 allocated in next year's budget to begin reconstruction. The 5-year capital budget also calls for $50,000 each year for four years after that. You can see here: http://www.ci.evansville.wi.gov/city/fis...
Hope this helps.

Yes, everyone should vote because of the freedoms we have been given. But if you still don't think it's that important, these are hopefully a few reasons to add a little incentive. Here's another one someone e-mailed me: "I get to get out of work early to vote."

Yes, we should explain the napkin bibs. Occasionally Sid eats lunch in his office and puts on a napkin bib. And occasionally walks around the newsroom wearing it :)
