Sluggo:
1. Moves us toward a more business-friendly state
2. Creates fiscal responsibility; helps to balance the budget
3. I can choose to live here or I can choose to move away. I love WI and will do whatever it takes to be sure our finances are in order.
4. Taxes. We all pay them. WI residents pay far more taxes than peer states. Big overhead, big payroll, and little to no new business development. We are suffocating.
5. Janesville School District: $9MM budget deficit. After all this do we really think our state aid will go UP? I doubt it. I'm afraid we'll see a BIG tax increase.
Democrat Senators- come back to work. We need to pass the bill NOW! We have no time to waste. Our future is bright. Thank you Gov. Walker for doing what we elected you to do.

Ask not what your union can do for you, ask what you can do for your union.

You say, "Union busting" like it's a bad thing.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going- including unions. Wisconsin is not business friendly. We were lucky to hold on to Harley Davidson and Mercury Marine. The proud union fathers weren't proud enough. They conceded at the very last moment when they were about to be thrown out because their business 'partner' employers had enough. Just where do you think they would have relocated? They weren't about to just move across the state. They would have been looking for more labor-friendly states. Wisconsin was not on their list.
Wake up union lovers! You don't make the world go 'round. So Mooser, the next time you think unions are good for business, when you or one of your union pals go looking for a new union job in Wisconsin, maybe you could get one with one of the new businesses coming to Wisconsin (sarcasm).
Iowa and the city of Dubuque are doing a great job attracting new business. They are a 'Right to Work' state. They are progressive. Their economy is getting on the right track.

You say, "Union busting" like it's a bad thing. Get Wisconsin a 'Right to Work' state. Let's get back to the business of business. Organized labor is bad for business. They hold everyone hostage. If you don't believe me, just look what happened in Madison the last few days. And it's just not business. Come on, teachers! You should know better. If you really care about the kids, then care about their future. Everyone has sacrificed. Now it's your turn to spend some time at the back of the line.

Here's the thing.... Obama is smart. All you critics can't change that face and that is what makes you so mad.
We have to rebuild fences before they will work. Bullying, like we had for the past 8 years, was a nightmare and immature. I certainly respect the right to an opinion but try to keep an open mind when reviewing Obama's performance. I would hardly call him a failure- maybe that's what is really getting to you- he's been pretty fantastic and well received so far...

As someone who has an inside track to the local media, I can tell you that there is MUCH more to Dr. Evert's early retirement than poor communication. However, I also feel that poor communication is a HUGE problem for any person in a leadership role, and should have been addressed sooner. However, the communication issue only came to a head with this current school board, as they refused to rubber stamp everything Dr. Evert wanted. Good for the board- keep it up!
My last comment is that I feel there are other highly compensated administrators, such as Dr. Salerno, who also suffer from some control/communication issues. As he was Evert's little pet, I would encourage the board to look into his communication abilities as well.
Good luck to Dr. Schulte. I am acquainted with Karen, I feel she is very bright and we could certainly use a female perspective in a leadership role.

On Some clients wonder if they'll get anything from Brad Goodrich

If Judge Dillon found cause to reward Barbeau his money, then Goodrich was at the very least mis-allocating funds. As to whether he was intentionally using his position as a 'pastor' (I use that term loosely as I'm not sure what schooling he received- a pastor in my world has a BA and 4 years of seminary after that) to hide behind as a con man... this I do not know. That would be between Goodrich and God.
