I have a friend whose black lab is so overweight it can hardly walk ! It is so said to see such a young animal in that kind of shape. Too many treats and lack of exercise.

I bet the rotten guy had food for himself. He was just trying to get even with his wife . If he couldn't afford to feed the cats and they bothered him so much he could have taken them to the humane society where they may have gotten a good home instead of a bullet to the head .

The thing that bothers me most about johnson is that he claims to be a Lutheran but is on the Green Bay Diocese Finance Council. But what bothers me more than that is that he testified against state legislation extending the statute of limitations for childhood victims of sexual abuse to sue their abusers. Essentially Johnson was perpetuating the cover up and lack of accountability by the Catholic Church of years of sexual abuse of children by priests. Johnson was working with bishop Robert Morneau who had been aware for years of the sexual assaults of Rev. John Feeney, a priest in the diocese who was finally convicted in 2003. The abuse went on back to the 1970's. The church and johnson were fighting against the possibility that it could be held financially liable to Feeeny's victims that this legislation would have created.
That is how Johnson got to the state capitol. Deacon 'Tim Reilly, director of Administration for the diocese of Green Bay said that the Church played a significant role in getting Johnson to the state capitol. The church didn't support the legislation and wanted to raise the public awareness of its objections.l
Johnson also employee prison inmates at his companies. Inmate that the federal government pays their health insurance.He also received federal money for his plant but claims to be against federal funding. He didn't start his own business . He married into it. It was owned by his rich wife's family. It's a good thing he had the moeney to pay for his daughters medical expenses when she needed it but if he's elected he won't afford the same to us. In fact he will fight for you and I not to have affordable health care. I've read some of his ads about how he worked in the basement by candlelight to support his family from the young age of 12 and put himself through college out of debt with $ 7 grand in the bank. sounds like a great man on paper. But his actions prove otherwise. Like Ernest Hemingway wrote "the rich are very different from you and me ". VOTE FEINGOLD ON NOV.3

On Homeless shelter’s fate on line tonight
Posted on October 6 at 4:19 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
No one says there is not a need for homeless people in Janesville.I do not believe Mike Tearman is capable of running a shelter. He may want to run one but being capable of running one is two different stories. It became quite clear at the meeting Monday night that he could not answer a direct question that the council asked him. He kept saying I don't like to brag about what I've done and then he would go on to brag about what he'd done ! I also heard one of his men make a rude statement while one of the speakers was talking. Luckily there was an officer sitting close to him who put a hand on his shoulder to quiet him down.

Even with the conditional use permit this shelter can only house 10 people at a time. Why not look for a larger building that is not in a residential neighborhood ? Besides the 4th ward already has a homeless shelter less than 2 blocks away. House of Mercy. The fourth ward has stepped up how about the rest of the neighborhoods ?

On Former Janesville City Council member demands apology over blog posts
Posted on July 2 at 2:24 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
You lost an election, Mr. Perotto. The public has spoken. You acted rashly when you criticized Yuri Rashkin for having the guts to stand up and walk out on Gov. Walker. Now you want an apology ? Come on. Grow up and get over it. If you can't take the heat you should have never gone into politics. And who are these "believers"? You make it sound like Rashkin's supporters are cult members !
You are starting to sound like a big whiner. Save us all the time and the money and you might possibly save your self the attorney fees you'll be wasting.
