On Janesville school tax to rise 2.5%
Posted on October 26 at 10:19 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
To all those on this comment board who couldn't wait for the demise of your local GM plant and it's well paid workers, welcome to the real world. GM paid millions of dollars annually to Janesville helping you keep your school and property taxes down. Now the plant is on standby, paying only a fraction of the taxes it used to, you haters out there will now have to open your wallets a little more. Ha-Ha!!

As a conservative businessman and job creator in the sate of Wisconsin, I think the first thing our beloved Governor Walker should do on Tuesday morning is to work with our conservative state representatives to make Wisconsin the first state in the nation to ban Labor Day. I am tired of paying my employees a days pay to take a day off. Who ever thought of such a thing? They don't do this type of thing in China and Vietnam. Damn, if I'm to compete with the rest of the world, Labor Day needs to be abolished!

I remember reading the hatred toward the GM worker in the letters to the editor in The Janesville Gazette editorial page or listening to callers doing the same on WCLO's talk of the town. Yet, some of these same letter writers and callers, who were identified as local business people, gladly held their hand out and accepted money from the GM worker for goods and services. Thanks Janesville.

Congratulations Ron on your remarkable career. I had you as a gym teacher back in the day at "cow pie high" and remember working along side of you while you worked as a summer help at the local GM plant. Your retirement is well deserved.

Remove the Social Security cap of $106.800. The top earners of this country want Social Security benefits when they retire and I'm not opposed, just because you make over the cap you shouldn't stop paying in. Remember, it is an insurance program. You pay in hoping to collect one day just like if you had a car accident. Some people pay in more than they recoup and some people recoup more than they pay in.

Well Wisconsin, you have elected yourselves one hell of an Governor. I hope you are proud of that. We'll see how much you like him at the halfway point.

I suggest the city of Janesville track down all of the GM haters on this blog and charge them double the tax rate they were paying. Since many of them couldn't wait for the demise of the assembly plant and the jobs that went with it, let them pay!!!

Your right cookiedough about selling out dated engines. The current V-rod is a step in the right direction but the true Hardley purist's thumb their noses at this bike. Not everyone one wants an air cooled engine that has to be mounted on rubber to keep vibrations to a minimum. Hardley needs to come outside the box with some true new designs. By adding more chrome and special paint jobs and then calling it a "new" model is a cheap way out.
