I just copied that headline verbatim from jsonline…well except for the exclamation point…that’s mine. From the short article: The state agency (Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development), which administers taxpayer-funded job retraining funds, said it expects to award a contract to develop an online database and job matchmaking service to Boston-based Burning Glass Technologies. The [...] Let’s start with a very basic factoid that I’ve brought up a time or two this year: $15,080 is minimum wage ($7.25) times 40 hours per week per 52 weeks. And just 60 days ago State Representative Joe Sanfelippo, before he finally introduced ‘his’ bill, was tossing around $15,000 as a reasonable salary for a [...] Sheriff Clarke ordered an integrity check of the security provisions at the Milwaukee County Courthouse.

A really, really, really really nice new kitchen. Speaking of county government, how about that Sheriff Clarke. Having been thwarted in his repeated efforts to privatize health care at the county jail, Sheriff Clarke decided to rely on a court decision on his rights to control prisoner transportation to extend to prisoner health care as well. The county board has continually denied his [...] There is a whole new round of “let’s shrink the county board” going on again.
