Under John Chianelli’s watch, problems at the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex were rampant, finally boiling over when allegations that a violent male patient had sexually assaulted a female patient, resulting in that female patient becoming pregnant, despite the fact that she was supposed to have been getting birth control injections.

David Clarke the DINOSAUR**

Last week I asked why Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke won’t debate his opponent in the Democratic primary for the office currently held by Clarke, and while I don’t know all the reasons why Clarke is avoiding debating Chris Moews, I’m betting it might be because Clarke, a “Democrat,” has been really really busy [...]

Sheriff David Clarke finally catches a drunk driver!

Looks like Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke can finally truthfully claim he finally caught a drunk driver in his official capacity as Sheriff, seeing as how the last time he came face to face with a drunk driver Clarke actually tried to help the drunk driver get back onto the freeway, despite the open [...]

Tim John nails the point on central city unemployment!

I started working on this blog about a week ago and then set it aside when Tim John posted that he was attending Drinking Liberally. I thought I’d talk to him a bit and add any new information before posting. Well he showed up but I got distracted by other conversations. Well after reading [...]

Reason number 1,987,221 why Milwaukee County voters need to send Sheriff David Clarke packing this year… On the day after the deadly accident at O’Donnell Park’s parking garage, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. took the unusual step of carving out a couple of hours to provide counseling to a staffer.

At least [...]

Teen hit by falling concrete at airport, Walker continues to campaign

More bad news for Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, who spent the weekend campaigning while scores of Milwaukeeans recover from last week’s massive rainstorm and ensuing floods. While Walker was busy on the campaign trail, a teen at General Mitchell International Airport was struck by a piece of falling concrete, and while the teen [...]

Scott Walker isn’t even growing employment when he’s empowered to

“When developers, builders and land owners want to do business with the City of Milwaukee, they know who to call … Department of City Development Commissioner Richard “Rocky” Marcoux.

Stone vs. Gamble: It’s on!

Did you see the BizTimes write-up about Larry Gamble’s candidacy against State Representative Jeff Stone yet? Wow is all I can say, because Stone didn’t hold back any punches until the Gamble candidacy was official via nomination papers being turned in.
