On Janesville city workers will receive merit pay

Posted on November 29 at 10:13 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

I sure hope I get my merit raise on my tax bill next month when it arrives. Oh wait I will!! A wheel tax, my water hike, blah blah blah. I have done an outstanding job at paying my outrageous city taxes every year and on time I think I deserve what I contribute to my pension and my privately purchased health care!

On Some Janesville city workers could get bonuses under plan

WOW and sooo many people have a dislike for Walker. This is why he is trying to stop the abuse of tax payer funded employees. I would like a Mayor and I as a tax payer do not want one single cent of my taxes to go to these bonuses. I think Eric Levitt should be welcome to pay them directly out of his savings account. Oh wait that is my tax money also.

While everyone complains about things that they have no idea what they are complaining about become educated on why dairy cows are housed and fed the way they are. Some of us spend lots of money going to school to be able to take care of these animals. If you are not educated with a degree in animal science then I suggest you have the information correct before you start complaining about how they are fed or housed.

On Foreclosure market offers home-buying opportunities

Posted on September 26 at 2:29 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

My husband and I bought a foreclosed home 8 years ago. What a fantastic deal we got :) I remember a few months back when everyone was complaining about the new city assessments. Most comments complained about all of the empty foreclosed homes in the area bringing down the property values. So now those of us who want to remedy that situation and get a great deal are suppose to feel guilty and have no morals. Get a grip on reality people, you can't have it both ways. One person's loss is always another one's gain. I am not going to feel guilty in a few months when we purchase a second foreclosed home, instead I will celebrate. I will celebrate as my monthly mortgage payment is super low and I have the extra funds to remodel and buy all new furniture for it. It sucks that people lose their homes, but I pay my monthly payments and deserve to buy whatever home I would like to purchase. I will sleep sound at night knowing that I make excellent choices for my family.Do all of you feel guilty when you use a coupon at the supermarket or by an item of clothing at Kohl's that was 80% off the original price? Yeah I did not think so.

On Janesville School Board votes to cut teachers

Hmmmm Maybe the average person does not really understand the outrageous property taxes in the city of Janesville. My home is only assessed at $82,000 and my taxes were $2800.00 We are building a new home outside of the city because of this, if our new home was in this city our taxes would be almost $8000. The average $150,000 home in the city pays almost $5500 in taxes. Get a clue people. I am sure most people on here are not even home owners paying in the taxes.

On What are your plans for Spring Break?

What is wrong with being an elitist, having money, spending wisely and saving so you can go on trips like spring break vacations? Those of us who can should enjoy. We worked hard for it.

On Union supporters hold rally at Rock County Courthouse

Thank You Governor Walker for supporting the majority in this state that voted you in. Not the minority that is protesting that did not vote or do not live in this state. I knew what you were going to do and thank you. I do not support a public union. Private companies go right ahead. There will not be a recall because the % of this state that voted him in will keep him in we just don't waste our time out protesting because most of us are at work or are focused on enjoying our lives. The amount of money that people will waste on a recall could feed all of the homeless children in this state and provide them shelter for the year. Better use of peoples donations I think. Get a new hobby, go back to work and actually show up to vote in the next election if you don't like it we did.
