On Milton teachers take action

Unionized professionals…now there’s an oxymoron! For your MEA members; a contradiction, like “jumbo-shrimp,” or in your case, “unacceptable solution.” Apparently you haven't been paying attention to Arne Duncan...

Where’s the oversight here??? Doesn’t City Hall review the appraiser’s valuation report before it’s submitted to the Dept of Revenue? As we’ll all soon learn, i.e., when we get our property tax bills, that’s a pretty important document!
Oh that’s right… Mr. Schmidt and his “staff” NEVER make a mistake!!! Well folks, this is a duzy of a mistake and someone needs to be held accountable.
I for one will be at tonight’s meeting, City Hall, 6:00. If only to watch someone wiggle his way out of this one.

On Milton teachers, district reach tentative agreement on prep issue

REAL professionals know that work is a “what-ever-it-takes,” sometimes 24-7 deal! And if you dare complain you risk being shown the door! Frankly, I’ve never understood how teachers can call themselves “professionals” when they get 10 weeks off every summer, 1-2 weeks at Christmas and another week at Easter, not to mention union and QEO protection and top-shelf insurance and retirement benefits! Quit your whining and just be glad you HAVE a job! ww
On Which intersection do you think is the most dangerous in Janesville?

The way people drive today, isn't every intersection dangerous? Pay attention folks, there's a whole lot of inattentive, texting, cell phone talking, road-raging morons behind the wheel these days! ww

shoulda, coulda, woulda…
The deal between the City and UE should not been signed, sealed, and delivered in secret!
This entire mess could have been prevented if Judge Dillon had suspended construction when the validity of the original conditional use permit was first challenged.
We would not still be talking about this fiasco if the City of Milton had listened to its citizens!

David Cramer scored big-time when he secretly sold his corn-doggle scheme to the city back in 04-05. City officials were clueless then... This most recent fiasco proves their still clueless…

Amen Zoom... Too bad we can't move teaching jobs out-of-state. Maybe then the Milton teachers union would "get a clue."

3.8 in this economy is pretty darn good. Maybe the MEA's problem is that they know there was money leftover last year. LOTS of money! Over a million dollars for a second year in a row! As long as the district leaves that kind of money lying around, why not line their pockets!

On Milton could see district tax jump

Hold on folks! Someone REALLY needs to ask the question... What happened to the $1,000,000 (yes that's one million) plus Milton had "left over" at the end of June 2008 and supposedly put in the bank to spend this last school year?
“Leftover” money has been getting progressively worse the last several years, with 1 million plus left unspent the last two years in a row. Without stretching the imagination, one might think the school district has been over taxing their residents!
Every summer we hear this gloom and doom story about not having enough money. Then come June, gosh, they always seem to have LOTS of money leftover. So much for fiscal responsibility!
I pity the school board. They’ll have to make some tough decisions in the weeks to come. If I were them I’m not sure I’d trust any numbers coming out of their business office.

And another thing… Any Milton teacher who hands out union propaganda during work hours, including parent conferences, organizes or gathers for a union “event,” on district property, or wears a yellow shirt with MEA on it to work should immediately be given a 3-day, unpaid furlough! On second thought, they’d like that…then they could go hunting, bake holiday cookies or go shopping…
