On Janesville police supervisors to form union
Posted on April 13 at 10:04 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
I kinda see where they are coming from. Who wants those they supervise making more than them. When a supervisor retires who will want to apply for the promotion when you will take a pay cut. It cant always be about dollars and cents but these days who can afford to take money from their family.
On Appleton police won't respond to gas drive-offs

Why should my tax dollars be used to be a bill collector for an industry that allows the thefts to happen? Gas is not cheap, and the price is going up again. It is not under $1 anymore. Most gas purchases are $20 or more. Gas stations can stop the thefts by having everyone prepay for gas. I have traveled to many states, including California, and if you want gas you have to pay cash first or use your credit card. Stores used to have cartons of cigarettes out for people to purchase, but when thieves were grabbing armloads and running out they were put behind the counter. Time for gas stations to take their own steps to prevent the thefts themselves. They will save money from the decrease in thefts and also save the taxpayers money and be good citizens by allowing police to do more important things. Win...win for everyone.

On Madison police detain Sugar Creek man for carrying gun
Posted on September 21 at 2:02 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I am really on the fence when it comes to open carry. I do not carry, but if the says a law abiding citizen can carry, go ahead. I just wonder how the police are suppose to be able to tell who can legally carry and who cant. Felons and those with domestic violence convictions cant. Without checking the identification how are the police supposed to keep guns out of the hands of those who do not have the right to carry. There has to be a way to check and thats ask for ID. These guys are clearly looking for controversy. That is why they are recording. They could have just given the ID and they would have been on their way in 5 minutes? Instead, lets tie up the legal system some more. Maybe this is a way for the unemployed to make some money. Sue.....settle for some money, and go to the next city to do it again.

sigma, I think you need a watch. I was out there and it was only 2 hours. With 2 firetrucks on two of the lanes and fireman getting out equipment and walking around, You want one getting hit by a drunk?
On Janesville police issue yard sign warning
Posted on September 7 at 3:05 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
One of my neighbors had a sign returned to them by a nice officer. It was a yard sale sign. He was decent about it and did not look like it was a fun task for him to do. I do not think it is political signs, it is the garage and yard sale signs nailed and taped up everywhere. As far as blocked views at intersections, as short as it took for a few of you to complain about it here, did you call the public works and mention it to them? Or better yet, you are on the computer, go to the City of Janesville web site and send an email to them, I was just on their site and it is easy as can be. Lets not always make the police do what we as citizens can.
On Janesville company offers solution for BP oil spill
Posted on June 25 at 2:33 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I have seen other things like hay used to soak up the oil too. Although these are good ideas on soaking up the oil, the problem lies with removal of the tons of soaking wet from oil fabrics, hay, or whatever, and now disposing of them. Good idea to soak it up, but now we have more stuff in the water to clean up. Unless I'm missing something.
On Janesville police roll out new squad cars
Posted on June 11 at 3:31 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Napalm....I guess Court Street isnt as busy as you think. The only witnesses to the shooting were the motorcyclists and the guys in the jeep. If it is so busy dont you think there would be lots of people who saw the shooting and the motorcycles.? The police solved this case with little to no information, and you still criticize. I think the police department is taking applications, maybe you should apply so we all can benefit from your superior policing skills. As far as Mliton Avenue, count the squad cars again, 2 or 3 maybe. Its the businesses who call them to shag the kids. I have spent time up there myself. I have seen the crowds throw trash, fight, and drive crazy. If the police are not around its a free for all.

I heard the driver of the jeep pulled over on Walnut and they waited for police. His friends were with him. Who do you think gave the descriptions of the suspects? RIP Sam

What a nice story on the success our youth and all the money they brought in to be used for future programs and their education. Unfortunately the Gazette's lead picture accompanying the article needed to be political. If you are gonna support the youth of our county why couldn't they have made that picture one of the proud kids and their champion animal. Pretty tacky Gazette
