full disclosure: Tony Zielinski is my alderman and the only thing I agree with him on from this video is the fact he isn’t going to run for his aldermanic seat while running for mayor. And he is also correct. He is one of the hardest working campaigners that I know.

Our Airport
This has been sitting on the back burner for some time. A letter to the editor from the September 28, 2017 edition of the print Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decried the operation of the Mitchell International Airport…fondly remembered by us old farts as General Billy Mitchell Field.

Now I don’t know what is the better police pursuit policy…only chasing violent criminals and suspected felons…or pursuing every suspect that police come in contact with…that is what the current discussion with the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission and Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn will hopefully determine. But while researching MKE Common Council Joint […]

Well here it is with my comments (sorry that it is […]

Tammy Baldwin For Senate: Knock It Off!
Yesterday I received a letter asking for a contribution from the Tammy Baldwin for Senate campaign. I supported Senator Baldwin in 2012 with my wallet and my vote.
