Milwaukee-area developer utters racial slur to refer to President Barack Obama
Well this is something… A Milwaukee businessman uttered a racial slur to describe President Barack Obama during a news conference Wednesday in Waukesha City Hall that was organized by Wisconsin business leaders as part of a national call for immigration reform. “I’m not seeing anybody doing anything,” said Dagoberto Ibarra,…
CRG, Grandsons of Liberty attack Chris Larson for trying to be a good dad
On Tuesday, conservative groups Citizens For Republican Responsible Government (CRG) and the GrandSons of Liberty (GoL) issued a joint press release attacking Democratic State Sen. Chris Larson for Larson’s unwillingness to attend Gov. Walker’s “bipartisan” brat and beer summit (or, more fittingly, brats, beer, and bullshit: a festive farce). In…
There’s no depths some people won’t sink to…
On Sunday, customers who receive the Janesville Gazette found this in the newspaper tubes, along with their Sunday papers: What you’re looking at is a flier (purporting to be an advertisement in the Janesville Gazette) that lists the names and salaries of public school teachers who signed the recall petition…
“Good government” conservative Paul Cesarz ignoring constituents
What’s this?!? A conservative “good government” lawmaker ignoring his constituents?!? That certainly seems to be the case with County Supervisor Paul Cesarz, as reported by Steve Schultze of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Though he shows up for full County Board meetings, his presence at committee meetings has been inconsistent. His…
Where’s the outrage over Walker supporters wasting taxpayer dollars?
This has been a long time coming… Several months ago, Citizens for Responsible Government attempted to smear local lefty blogger Chris “capper” Liebenthal, alleging he had committed some sort of crime (presumably misconduct in office) by blogging while at work as an employee of Milwaukee County. Predictably, conservative bloggers were…
CRG to attempt a recall of Sup. Dimitrijevic?

Dimitrijevic: A potential recall effort against Milwaukee County Supervisor…
Rep. Stone paid former Franklin alderwoman for consulting
I’m a bit surprised that State Representative Jeff Stone is taking his opponent, Larry Gamble, this seriously. In reviewing his Pre-Primary campaign finance report, Stone’s campaign records a total of $2000 given to Vi Hammelman for “consulting” during the months of July & August. Vi is the ex-wife of former…
County budget done – what does it mean for Jursik?
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…
Chris Kliesmet is clearly out of touch
Not content to support a possible recall of Milwaukee County Supervisor Pat Jursik, the Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) are now making noise about a possible recall of Supervisor Theo Lipscomb, in conjunction with “Glendale Residents for Honest Representation,” a political action committee registered by Toni Hill, a resident of…
Group forms to recall Jursik
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.
