Yeah, this just about sums it up:
You can push through legislation you want when you are in the majority but it really should go through the process. Good for the Representative Gordon speaking up and good for the Senate Democrats for leaving if this exemplifies how the Republicans are running things.

Union Vote
In the 2010 race for governor, Democrat Tom Barrett won 63% of voters in union households, Walker won 37%.
It'd be interesting to see how much the gap widens for government union households.

VOTE Tuesday!
The Green Bay Mayor and Brown County Executive will propose our next local budgets. The current push at the state level is to eliminate the laws that enable local government workers to bargain benefits and stop sending shared revenue back to the local political entities. It seems obvious that the Governor wants to force local elected officials to unilaterally impose concessions on local labor.
Wisconsin Supreme Court - It's amazing how much the WMC candidate, Justice Gableman, has come up during this race. Many folks think he played good politics, others think he lied his way on to the court. Bottom line, he's not on the ballot and four others are.

I'm probably way behind the curve on this but I found it pretty funny.
That guy in the lower right seems to be the happiest of the bunch!

Candidate Forums!
Right or left? Democrat or Republican? Conservative or Progressive? Statist or Teabagger? These labels may or may not matter to you. What matters most is who you think will be the best to serve our community when you cast your vote. Come and get informed!
The West side Green Bay Mayoral Candidate forum is Wednesday this week.
January 26, 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Franklin Middle School
1234 W. Mason St. (Use entrance on Lore Ln.)

By way of the Green Bay TEA Party web site, the N.E.W. PATRIOTS (uppercase theirs, not mine) group are hosting a forum for County Executive during their regular meeting.
Tuesday, February 8th - 7 PM
Evergreen Bar & Grill
7075 Morrison Rd
Greenleaf WI
There was press at the last Mayoral forum, hopefully there will be again as well as at the Exec forum too. Ideally these things would be recorded and aired on PBS or channel 4 but methinks someone might show up with a cam and post on the web again.

Paying for AOL
I knew a few folks still send money to AOL but had no idea it is this bad. Folks, please check with your friends using aol.com email addresses-- especial older parents and grandparents-- they may be wasting money on this. AOL email addresses are free and have been for a long, long time...
If I understand this right, AOL still charges everyone who started on dial-up a monthly subscription even though most of them are using a broadband provider now. They are charging folks for a service almost no one has used in years-- it makes all kinds of sense on spreadsheets and balance sheets but no moral sense what-so-ever. This company survives on an income stream it doesn't deserve that was initially built on what must be the single most wasteful diskette and CD based marketing campaign ever undertaken.

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.
Concerns raised about Zippin Pippin: fox11online.com
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?
