On Did the council do right by the ice arena?

I agree with Woody. They may have done right by the ice arena, but they did not do right by the tax payer. This is a major project that will not only require up front funding, but will require operational expenses as well. This issue should have been put to a referendum. That way, everyone would have the opportunity to vote.

The fact is that we do not know the details of the case. The family accused the doctors of being NEGLIGENT and the jury decided that they were negligent enough to award a monetary settlement. Per my previous comment --- Do you really think a jury would award nearly $900,000 for a simple shoulder injury? Just my guess, but I'm thinking that the injury was substantial. And if it was a simple shoulder injury like some are assuming, then shame on our peers (the Rock County Jury who awarded the sum).
Negligence by very definition is a lack of due care. And intent does not determine negligence. In simple terms, it doesn't matter if the doctor INTENDED to cause injury. Negligence can exist without intent.
In many professional fields there is a thing called personal accountability. It helps to keep doctors, lawyers and other professionals in check. It helps them to be more conscious of their actions. I for one am thankful that individuals need to be held accountable, because that generally makes them more thoughtful of their actions.
While some people will find any reason to sue, others have just cause. It is up to the court system to weed them out. Obviously in this case, the JURY found that the doctors were negligent. If you don’t like the outcome, may be you should try to reform our judicial system.

Yes, Hannah two men died. But only one was from Wisconsin. Thus the title... Wis. Man Killed in Plane Crash.

My point was that some people would probably find that word vulgar, as I did. Hannah, again I would like to point out that if you want your comments taken seriously and not to be "picked on" by others, you should be respectful. If you're tactful, diplomatic and respectful of others people are a lot less likely to attack you. What you just wrote on this article would have been a perfect way to sum up the point you were trying to make, without making a snide remark. Since you don't know who is going to read what you write on here, you should try to keep it as clean as possible. And even though you may have heard that word on TV, does not mean it's appropriate. If you wouldn't use the word in a professional setting, you probably shouldn't use it here, as using that type of language will make you sound less intelligent that you probably are.
Again, I wasn't trying to personally attack you, so please don't take offense. If I were trying to attack you, I would have called you out in my original post. That's why I linked it... because I didn't really care to mention your name because to me it was offensive no matter who wrote it. I don't really care to degrade people like others do on these comment sections. Not everyone is out to get you.

I don't think it matters what they were referring to. The word used at the end of pizza is vulgar. And do you really need to refer to a business like that? It's about benig respectful. Read the rules... the first one is KEEP IT CLEAN! If you want your comments taken seriously and not to be "picked on" by others, you should be respectful.

Hannah, in retrospect, I wish I would have used some symbols (*@$%) to replace letters, because I really don’t think your comment was appropriate. Live and learn, I guess. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I figured it was ok... I mean it didn't get deleted in the first place. I was hoping that someone at the Gazette would see it and delete both my comment and your comment, because in all actuality they are both inappropriate. If the comment didn’t get deleted, I wanted to prove that their system was flawed. Which as of yet, I have done. Believe me, Hannah, I am one person who believes you don't have to say vulgar things to get your point across, and nowhere in my post am I condemning it. Don’t take it personally. Plus I linked the story. Which means anyone who clicked on the link would see it anyway.

Spikesmom – Before I even start, I want to let you know that my comment is directed toward you with the utmost sincerity. I don't think a lot of the posters here are complaining about shoveling sidewalks outright. I think they're just finding it hard to take direction from someone (in this case, the City of Janesville), who doesn't lead by example. They see the COJ not plowing, but asking that they keep sidewalks clear as hypocritical. While I agree, that if you are a homeowner and you have a sidewalk it is your job to clear it, I think enforcing a rule would go over much better if the COJ lead by example and kept the streets clean. It's true that these two things are not the same thing. But a good leader knows that they should lead by example and the COJ isn't leading by example.

Cute story. It's great to see the EPD get the recognition they deserve. They're a great group of people.
