On Buy-out details show Sheiffer gets additional pay
Posted on September 12 at 1:57 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
What's the issue with getting paid out for sick days that were not used? I would think that most employers would want their workers at work...working, provided they were healthy. I've heard stories of workers calling in sick for a Packers game or to take an extra day to hunt or fish. Also, don't these sick days and vacation days wages get taxed at a higher percentage? Ask yourself this...if you had the opportunity, wouldn't you?

I don't think you have to provide ID to buy all cold medications...only the ones containing Pseudoephedrine...used in making "meth". http://sudafed.com/formula.html It may be federal DEA thing; not just a state of WI thing.
On Milton hires new police chief

insidetrack writes "corruption" and claims the two are "friends". beachsexton writes they are "buddies". Can you two prove this? Do you people know what LIBEL is? Have you checked your claims as being factual? Just because the two men received a paycheck from UW-P, doesn't mean anything. I know that UW-P has has online CJ classes and maybe even offsite classes. The two may not have even met or even know each other. Sound like a few scorned people on this blog. Maybe even some MPD insiders...Readers, don't believe everything you read; these claims probably can not be backed up with facts. These bloggers like to remain veiled with their anonymous screens names and play arm-chair quarterback with local politics. If you have a legitimate beef with the PD and/or Milton city gov't, go to the meetings or schedule an appointment with people you complain about. Anyone else agree with me?

Yes, I think some are still surprised. Most likely its the folks still living in the past and now blaming everyone but themselves.

I am sorry for all those affected by local plant closings and layoffs. I sympathize; I lost my job many years ago. I was given 2 days notice and severance for 2 weeks; the entire second shift was gone and second shift was gone 2 weeks later. I wish I would have had 18 months to prepare. But my parent's taught me a valuable life lesson earlier in life...plan for a rainy day. And guess what?...it rained today; pardon the pun. Everyone is pointing fingers at who's to blame. Has anyone mentioned the UAW who drove up labor rates to a point that made it difficult for the Big 3 to remain competitive? It's just a thought. I have seen it from both sides. There are a host of other players: GM's product offering, oil prices, NAFTA, etc. When I first moved to the area, I heard people refer to GM as Generous Motors. I asked why...the answer was the folks there were paid generously. At the old union job I mentioned earlier, they taught me one that I would like to forget...greed. It was take care of your own and screw the company. But guess who writes the checks? There are two sides to every story; this was mine. Thanks for listening.

Was the alternating outside/inside hiring part of a plan or was it merely a coincidence? My tax dollars would vote for hiring the most qualified candidate for the sake of public safety.
