Evans for Mayor?

It probably cost me more than six votes when my opponent lied about the Zippin Pippin project. I would very much like to see Supervisor Evans' documents.

I wonder how much rent his campaign payed to use that Brown County committee room for a press conference that has nothing to do with county government?

FaceBook Privacy

The folks over at Naked Security report that FB has made it possible for developers of "third party applications" to access your phone numbers and addresses. Hell, the fine folks at FaceBook even provide detailed instructions! Yeah, I'm sure most people want the makers of FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Bejewel or any other application to sell their info to some telemarketer.

If you want advice on how much to put out there and how to lock your FB profile down, check this out. Personally, I have third party apps turned off.

New Zodiac Sign?

I'm not a Sagittarius anymore? Apparently my new sign is a worm wrapped around a stick... I miss my hoofs and bow and arrow!

No Snow In FL...

...but the other 49 states all have the white stuff on the ground! I wonder if this is a record? I wonder if all 50 states have ever had snow on the ground at the same time? I wonder... but not enough to actually go to a search engine and look.

Two Mayoral Events!

In addition to the forum listed in my last link. There is another forum scheduled:

Wednesday, January 26 · 7:00pm - 8:30pm, Franklin Middle School
1234 W. Mason St. (Use entrance on Lore Ln.)

This will be the second of 2 mayoral candidate forums hosted by the Green Bay Public Schools and several neighborhood associations. All seven candidates are invited. There will be a moderator and time keeper.

Following the panel, there will be a half hour of informal conversation among candidates and attendees.

Green Bay Mayoral Debate

Perhaps you like current mayor? Maybe you think it is time for a change? Perhaps you think it's past time for a woman's perspective on the second floor? What about the guy who filed papers but doesn't even live in the city? I'm sure someone will ask him about that!

The council writes the laws but the mayor is the manager of the city. Do you care about jobs, police, fire, streets, garbage, transit or taxes? Come find out what the candidates have to say Thursday, January 13 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm at Green Bay East High School.

IB at West

I have been suggesting for years that the way to turn around the reputations of the Green Bay near downtown schools is to move all of the AP classes there. An extreme jolt, no doubt, but I still believe it would have turned the public perceptions of the schools around.



West High is starting to offer an International Baccalaureate curriculum. Green Bay west has arguably the worst reputation in Green Bay but now there is a reason for the college bound to go there. I'm sure many kids would like to start college as sophomores. There's no doubt many parental budgets would appreciate it. This might even draw families back who are currently transferring their kids to suburbia. (Yes, I'm looking at you Ashwaubenon.)

What a great idea, let's hope the Green Bay school district knocks it out of the park with this one. Find out more about IB at 7:00 PM on Thursday, January 20, at Green Bay West High School, 966 Shawano Avenue in the auditorium.

I wonder if this will start to break up the geographical school districting within the Green Bay system?
