I smell a few recalls coming: A proposal to cut pensions of elected Milwaukee County officials to match the same trim approved for other county workers was defeated Thursday by the County Board on a 7-7 vote. The measure came up only after a substitute calling for a study of the county joining the [...] Posted by Zach on December 11, 2009, at 5:17 am
Scott Walker wants everyone to “Believe in Wisconsin Again.” Really, he does. In fact, Scott Walker believes in Wisconsin so much that after eliminating 90 county housekeeping jobs right before Thanksgiving, he outsourced cleaning services for the Milwaukee County Courthouse to Mid-American Cleaning Contractors, a company based out of Columbus, Ohio.

The Milwaukee County budget process for 2010 is officially finished, as the County Board of Supervisors voted on Wednesday to override 21 of Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker’s 34 vetoes of the 2010 budget. The board’s veto overrides will increase the property tax levy by $5.6 million, which equates to an increase of 18 [...] Posted by Zach on November 13, 2009, at 10:31 am
I’ve written a little about the news that two groups have formed to recall Milwaukee County Supervisors Pat Jursik and Theo Lipscomb, and in the interest of transparency, here’s copies of the registration documents filed by each group: The “Glendale Residents for Honest Representation” group was registered by Toni Hill of Glendale, while the [...] Posted by Zach on November 12, 2009, at 5:32 am
Since their successful effort to recall former County Executive Tom Ament and much of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, the Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) haven’t had much success with their assorted recall efforts. Their effort to get Gov. Jim Doyle recalled was a failure, as were efforts to recall Cudahy Mayor Ryan [...] Posted by Zach on October 30, 2009, at 6:18 am
Green Bay radio talk show host Jerry Bader, who got himself into a bit of hot water over comments he made about Lt. Gov. Barb Lawton, has been suspended for two weeks by WTAQ-AM (1360). The station also said a decision on Bader’s future would be made after his suspension, and it’s worth [...] |
