On Milton schools brace for $865,000 in cuts

Whz Bang,
They have not hired a "replacement" for Mike Garrow and paid that person "$100,000."
The school board appointed an interim superintendent (Milton Elementary Schools Principal Theresa Rusch) and the district is paying her a $20,000 stipend above her salary for taking on the extra duties.
In all, Garrow's leave pay combined with his severance, the cost of Rusch's stipend, along with legal costs dealing with the investigation and severance of Garrow and a costs of a search for Garrow's replacement all total between $170,000 and $185,000, according to district estimates.

CarlitosWay: Thank you for providing the link that explains the genesis of government-subsidized cellphones. It is interesting that the men at GIFTS call prepaid cellphones "Obama Phones." From their standpoint, it seems less a political statement and more a generic nickname that seems to have stuck. In reference to your and others' comments about politics and homelessness, I have one interesting point: The homeless men I have gotten to know are of all political stripes. One man, Mike, an unemployed former factory worker, told me he believed the gubernatorial recall election in Wisconsin was a waste of time and money. Others seem moderate politically while some are more liberal. Like any segment of the population, it's impossible to use a broad brush to paint a sociopolitical portrait of people in poverty.

If you don't believe that methamphetamine can rot a community from the inside out, drive through rural areas and small towns in Iowa, Southern Illinois and Missouri. You don't have to look too far to see how meth ravages the people and communities in which it takes root. The damage is right on Main Street.
On Town of Milton gravel pit proposal could face competing offer

Setinmyways:
Bill Watson tells The Gazette that Mulder Farms has no current interest in any gravel pits or mining operations in Wisconsin, and he said he has absolutely no interest in turning the land in question into a gravel pit.
Today's story in The Gazette has those details.
So, if there's an ulterior motive, it's not yet clear what it would be. But it apparently has nothing to do with gravel.

Who is going around town lying about being a vet to collect homeless "largesse," Gazettefan? Who is it? Please call me to discuss this; I'd sincerely be interested in looking into that issue.
