Thanks for restating my argument on the other version of this story.
But the dig at Mr Consigny was unneeded and juvenile. He is serving the city he lives in in a way he finds worthwhile. Can you say the same? without the cynicism??

On SHINE TIF expansion, annexation proposal gets commission OK

SHINE is having an "Open house" at Rotary Gardens tonight (Tuesday 7th) from 5 to 7 pm. I've heard that they will be making a presentation of their plans and safety measures. So many questions may be answered then.
I don't recall Janesville having very many TIF fiascos.

People can make a difference - Look at the Recall Walker and/or the Tea Party grassroots efforts. Differences from both ends of the spectrum starting with the little people.
Look at the roundabout on E Milwaukee street that didn't happen because residents spoke up.

The Plan Commission meeting was in many ways a mere formality - The Lands been Bought and SHINE has announced they plan on going forward with this project - all based on previous Council actions. It reads as if Mr Consigny's point was - If the Development community wants things done in Janesville - They should come out and support their projects in Public - even if it's a done deal. Because next time something like this arises and if there are questions about the project, who is going to be there to answer the Plan Commissions concerns.

i thinks the Dems missed the gate here. They should have quietly picked one strong candidate and the day the Signatures where delivered, made the big announcement, grabbed the high road and took it all the way to the statehouse. but they didn't. now we will see time wasted as the Dems bicker among themselves on a choice , while Scotty keeps spending his new found loot on misleading feel good back slapping ads. by the time any election gets here the energy will be dissipated.
I think the Dems need to get someone who was not a Fab 14 figure and quit waiting for feingold or kohl to come riding in and save the day for them.

I doubt if there is a fine big enough to impel some folks to move their cars. If you are able to move your heap do it asap.
But before you rush to judgement on this - think::
If you find yourself away or even stranded in another town and can't make it back to Janesville in a timely manner, The elderly, sick and infirm also will find it difficult sometimes to physically get out and get the car unshovelled or moved quickly.

Tis a sad day.
I wonder how long the lawmaker will think between the time he pulls it out and the time he pulls the trigger. He will spend the rest of his life wondering the same thing.
I hope it never comes to that. Tis a sad day it came to this.

Bought a 1967 cream two door Pontiac Lemans from my uncle in 1971 when I was still 15 years old. Took out a loan and paid it off in 3 years. Still got the car, Had it sort of restored in early 80's and probably need to look at it again. I used to be upset that my uncle didn't go for the GTO model, but I most likely would have wrapped that around some tree. A great car!
