On Wisconsin to use part of settlement for budget
Posted on February 10 at 10:39 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
This program was intended as "Shrek" has posted. The portion of the funds that was for homeowners would be for low interest loans and paper work. If you have in fact lost your home I believe that you can apply for damages up to $2000.00 .That is not much when you consider losing your home but better than nothing...There is another program coming out March 15 that may actually help more than this settlement.I don't have all the particulars but if you have stayed current with your mortgage you'll be able to apply for a new loan at the lowest mortgage rate. The fee for the application will be discounted and there will be "no" appraisal necessary. So if you are up-side down on your loan it won't matter. The key is that you have had to stay current with your loan.

I'm a little confused with the Gazette's policy regarding what they allow or don't allow post on. They allowed post on this article but don't allow post on this similiar article ,"Kerosene heater plays role in Janesville garage fire", that was directly next to it. Maybe someone could enlighten me.

I think the fundraising event is fantastic. I believe that the charities are all well deserving of the efforts and I hope they continue. Just please don't belitttle the event and efforts by making a rediculous statement such as this"They were on scene before firefighters" when referring to the Red Cross.
On School board makes another appeal to unions

The benefits in lew of wages started way before QEO. Over the years public unions would try to compete on wages with the likes of General Motors,Chrysler,Oscar Meyer.. etc. The public unions were told absolutley not and they wern't part of your comprable cities so they would settle for COLA wages and improve the benefits.
On School board makes another appeal to unions

Everyone is waiting for 2013 to get here so the teachers can pay their fair share of pension contributions. What most people don't realize is that they are paying their share. They gave up numerous wage increases over the years so the school district would pay extra... While you are waiting for 2013 there is something else that you may think about. You need to be careful what you wish for. Once 2013 gets here without a contract there will be a lot of work not being done that is now being done off the clock with out any fanfair. By the way I am not a school district employee or related to a school district employee but am retired from a field that worked close with the school district.

vatoloco...Yes we do have our "priorities" straight. Football is nothing more than entertainment. Entertainment has to be a portion of our lives. If you don't have some form of entertainment then it sucks to be you.

On Roundabout plan takes next step
Posted on November 8 at 12:09 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
The only reason that a roundabout is deemed safer is that everyone slows to a crawl because of being unfamiliar with the set up.
The only way a roundabout can be user friendly is there needs to be two flow lanes and one independent entry/exit lane. In addition there needs to be enough forward lane distance to exercise the proper lane changes. That is what the problem is with roundabouts in the states. They cram a roundabout into the same space of a 4-way intersection and expect it to work....WRONG !!!
On Janesville's rental vacancy rate a worry
Posted on August 31 at 10 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Scooter- The reason that landlords are anal is because of the quality of tenants. When you have to put thousands of dollars in repairs after a tenant leaves you become a little gun shy.
I suggest for people like PamelaMae69 ,who has a daughter with a felony , to put her money where her mouth is. Accompany her daughter when she looks at an apartment. Tell the landlord that she will co-sign the lease and gurantee the rent and double the security deposit and then she will get an apartment. I agree that this is a bit much but that is the result of the stress the landlords are feeling.

On Janesville City Council to discuss extending insurance
Posted on February 10 at 10:59 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
If you read between the lines all this is for the city to pay Health Ins. for your live in partner,reguardless of sex orientation. As far as funeral benifits ,what they are saying is giving the employee off in case of a death of a live in partner. Right now their contract allows so many days off depending on their relationship to the deceased. Right now I don't believe there is an allowence for "Domestic or Live In Partners"
