In the Winnebago County Board meeting this week we passed the following resolution: Establish Policy With Regard to Application For Town Bridge/Culvert Aid Pursuant to Section 82.08, Wisconsin Statutes Exciting stuff!  But in a nutshell, the towns apply for County & State work & funds to repair bridges and culverts.  The County Highway Dept wants to codify the process to make sure the process

From a profile today in the OshNW: "People need to take responsibility for their communities and not look to the government to fix everything anymore," Litjens said. "In the towns, when the town hall parking lot needs to be plowed or a culvert cleaned out, someone raises their hand and it's done. The more government promises to do, the less we help each other.

A comment on Ron Johnson's most famous quote:"The most basic right," Johnson says, "is the right to keep your property." Remembering the golden age when, thanks to Ronald Reagan, the top income tax rate was 28 percent, Johnson says: "For a brief moment we were 72 percent free."(Emphasis mine)This is worth some analysis. When he says the word 'we' - he is talking about those in the top income tax

Here is a blast from the past: Council's "Kraft Defense" Doesn't Wash For the six Councilors to resort to the "Kraft Defense" (i.e. "We were only following the City Attorney's advice.") is crafty, but just doesn't wash. When we elect people to the Council, we should be able to expect that they are capable of comprehending the plain language of the state statutes governing open meetings. We

I am sick and tired of the threats that are being sent around to Democratic Congress Members that supported the Health Care Bill. I am even more sick of the denials from the GOP that their rhetoric does not feed it. I am also disgusted when they say that these threats are isolated incidents. We all get these sort of emails from the right. They are a lot more common than you might think. It

The editorial is here. I agree with most of what they have to say here: And finally, this week was a resolution to turn the truck over to the city and disburse $2,900 in donations to the mayor. When a citizen, Jef Hall, questioned the appropriateness of the Mayor participating in the discussion from the dais and the overall appearance of the transaction, the Mayor and council member Dennis

Re-reading my previous post about my proposed firetruck resolution, I realized I forgot to explain why I think Mayor Paul Esslinger should be paid from city funds. Here are a few points: Point #1: It removes all questions about potential conflicts from donations. There is not a current system set up to record all donations. There are several hundred dollars in the fund right now without a

UPDATE: I added another BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED due to the thoughts expressed in this post. At the Oshkosh Common Council Meeting tonight, I outlined my problems with the resolution for reimbursement for the historical firetruck that Mayor Paul Esslinger wants to 'donate' to the city. Point #1: It is not a donation if you want to be reimbursed.  It is a purchase.  Mayor Esslinger purchased the

Tonight the Oshkosh Common council will consider Resolution 10-99 "Authorize 1915 Fire Engine / Authorize Future Dispersements from Donations" This should be pulled form the agenda an re-considered at a future meeting (if at all) for several reasons: 1.

Wroblewski once again declared he does not stand behind the sign's statement, and will not produce a single name of a small business owner who does.Two Menasha attorneys linked to an Oshkosh billboard calling for the impeachment of

I just finished an interview with Channel 5 Green Bay about the 'Impeach Obama' billboard. They received a statement from Mr. Wroblewski, who purchased it.The statement read to the effect that he did not purchase it, but made the purchase with funds from an anonymous LLC of 'small businesses.' He said that this LLC knows that President Obama has done nothing impeachable, but that they wanted

This is taking a local disagreement way to far.Deputy Mayor Tony Palmeri, on his blog, compares Oshkosh City Manager Mark Rohloff to Stalin:I hope we can all agree that a city manager ought not have the power to direct an organization or individual to discharge firearms in violation of city codes. Giving a local executive that kind of power is more in line with the old Soviet Union than the US

At the Oshkosh Common Council meeting tonight, Councilor Tony Palmeri went off on a rant about the problems of poverty in Oshkosh. He declared the money for the Grand repairs would be much better spent helping people in poverty rather than supporting the Grand... and then voted to deny this money to people in poverty by spending the money on the Grand.Now, I am as dedicated to poverty reduction

Some quotes from his blog:1. In reference to budget deliberations:Deputy Mayor Bain submitted a CIP amendment: Grand Opera House Sprinkler Project. Motion to have the City fully fund the Grand Opera House sprinkler project. Rationale: The city owns the project, and I feel it is our obligation for maintenance and upkeep, and the sprinkler project certainly falls into that category. The Foundation

Mr. Palmeri is quoted in the OshNW today:Palmeri said this was the time for community groups to “walk the walk.” “If we don’t get meaningful private participation on this, we can only talk the talk on public-private partnerships,” he said. “Everybody wants to see the building saved, but I do think now would be the time for people to step up to the plate and show what they can contribute.” Since

In a 2001 letter to Former DA Joe Paulus, Councilor Tony Palmeri quoted directly the statue he violated:Wisconsin Statutes 19.83 say that "At any meeting of a governmental body, all discussion shall be held and all action of any kind, formal or informal, shall be initiated, deliberated upon and acted upon only in open session except as provided in s. 19.85." So he can not please

From today's OshNW:Poeschl explained he was simply reviewing his notes while at the same time speaking with Palmeri. He said the conversation was geared toward the presentations and that Palmeri did not sway his vote."I was flipping through my notes the whole time," he said. "I can understand where the speculation is coming from…but the nature of that conversation was simply geared toward the

There is a bunch of speculation out there as to what I was saying in this post.So, to clear the air after a day's more thought let's run through...Things we know:1. Councilor Tony Palmeri selected Mr. Buchholz, giving interactions he had with Mr. Buchholz before this meeting as the main reason.2. Councilor Dennis McHugh selected Mr. Buchholz without giving any real reason.3. Councilor Bob Poeschl

I saw the movie "Harlan County, USA" this weekend. I recommend it very highly. It is about the 1973 Coal workers strike.During a previous strike in the same county, Florence Reece - the wife of a striking worker, wrote the song "Which Side Are You On?" and I think it may be the greatest song ever written.Mrs. Reece sings a few verses of it on the movie, and many people have done versions of it

Right-wing Judge and candidate for WI Supreme Court Randy Koschnick has recruited our Republican DA to be the treasurer for his spring campaign, according to the footer of his website.That would mean that Gossett is in charge of fundraising.

Or does it make sense that a man with 7 houses and a wife worth $100 million would be worried about spreading the wealth a little.

Krugman on his NYTimes blog, discussing the illogical Republican solutions to our current financial situation:Well, if a party runs on economic nonsense for 25 years, eventually many of its foot soldiers will be people who actually believe the nonsense.

Perhaps you have heard about the absentee ballot applications the WI GOP has sent out to Wisconsin residents.They have, in may instances, sent a ballot application with an incorrect return address. In one instance, a local Winnebago County Democratic Party member received an absentee ballot form from the WI GOP with a return address to go to the Town of Neenah clerk, when she lives and votes in

As I pointed out here......and MSNBC confirms today.Obama leads the money chase in key counties Scouring the latest campaign finance data for a Palin bounce, other trends Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Ohio's Ashtabula County. Winnebago County, Wisconsin.These are the counties where the 2008 presidential election may be decided. They're battleground counties in the battleground states.

Another greatest hit from WIEye...In an interview with Candidate Randy Hopper at the Winnebago County Republican Party Corn Roast, he stated (and I paraphrase)..."I spoke with a business that sold off a million dollar unit because they were about to go over 50 employees. That is absurd."Why would that happen? Because of the Family and Medical Leave Act. Once you have 50 employees, you need to
