On Walker promises to lower income taxes

Get ready. When you hear "lower taxes" it will mean cuts. I will hold my applause until I find out what is getting cut. No doubt we all will have to go without something we currently have now.

Maybe I can set up a kool aid stand on the bike trail to get my share of the $$$, that is if I don't get mugged.

"Superintendent Karen Schulte recommends cutting these positions: -- The athletics director. -- One special-education teacher."

I'm confused. Was the money was for special ed? Is a Special Ed teacher being cut?

A friend of mine learned in his Ethics class that it costs about $30,000 per year to keep a person in jail. He'll have plasma TV, 3 meal, and plenty of time to read.

The story I referred to earlier about the woman bicyclist who was ticketed for hitting a car door, oddly enough, was mentioned on the news tonight. There is an article at the link above on the Madison Channel 27 website.

On Check for bikes before opening car door

I think this law passed because on many Madison streets there are "bike lanes", sort of like Jvl has on Milwaukee Street just before it intersects with Milton Avenue. Last summer I remember hearing of a woman on a bike that ran into the door of a parked car that opened up in front of her while she was riding in one of those bike lanes. The woman was taken to the hospital (she was wearing a helmet) and was treated for a concussion. She received a ticket! It angered a lot of bike riders in Madison.

Maybe GM will sell the empty building to the city to fix up with our tax dollars. We can convert it to a community center.
