From the press-release: "U.S. Senator Herb Kohl last night included $951,000 in the FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Bill for Blackhawk Technical College to help General Motors employees and affiliated workers with job training and placement in the wake of GM’s closure of the Janesville plant on December 23, 2008."

Good luck, Matt!
Enjoyed your photography. Whenever we ran into each other, you never seem to say much but your photographs speak volumes.
Take care,
Yuri

Perhaps instead of having others be forced to file an open records request, you could simply consider adopting a policy of more complete and faster disclosure of information? After all, do you really expect the public to believe that these valuable records were discovered during an "anthropological dig"? Come on! When are you going to release the minutes from more recent Wheelock Family meetings? 2020? ;)

I'm shocked there's no audio recording of the meeting to compare the notes for accuracy :)

Since the article states that "The city and county might be in positions to receive funds for such a project. The city also could contribute TIF funds", I would like to make it very clear that determining possible funding sources is part of what the feasibility study could help us find out.

Gazettefan,
Thanks for the question. To the best of my knowledge there's been no specific complaints that have been filed with the City regarding this issue.
But of course deciding what is "SCANDALOUS" and "SUBSTANTIAL" is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, I am not an attorney, but please keep in mind that when you get in to issues dealing with people's employment, there are extensive limitations on any information that can be released, therefore making it difficult to refute an allegation.

I have read and heard a lot of comments about the accusations of Nepotism in City Hall as described by Marcia Nelesen in the Thursday's issue of the Janesville Gazette.
The comments appear to fall in to two major areas of concern:
#1. It's about time that the Council decided to look into this issue.
#2. The unfortunate timing of this story as it coincides with Steve Sheiffer's retirement after 21 years of service to the Janesville community.
As your representative, I would very much like to hear what you think the outcome of this situation should be. Please use the comment section on my blog to post your suggestions. Thank you.
