Has anyone been to the Walmart on south 27th street near Oklahoma? I was this past weekend and I must say I will never visit that store again. The garbage in the parking lot alone was enough to make you sick. The seagulls were having a field day with all that trash. The trash containers near the entrance were overflowing and garbage was just blowing out of there. You couldn't even walk without getting hit by flying garbage. There is a cyclone fence north of the building that was piled halfway up with trash. What a disgusting store. The inside was also dirty and very disorganized. I've emailed them and their reply was that the because of the nature of my email, they had to forward it on to another department. We'll see what happens. I just wanted to vent and say what a disgusting store that is. They ought to shut it down until they clean up their act, but then I'm afraid all the riff raff will come out to my store. Fox 6, you should take your cameras out there and show what a mess that place is. Maybe then something would be done.

Ok. So the Mayor is wondering why these young kids are running around with guns and hanging around with older boys??? Come on Mayor. No-one can discipline their children anymore without going to jail. That's the big problem here. Also, people have said in the 14th & Greenfield area that they have to work 2 jobs to make it and don't have time for their children. Gee....have to work 2 jobs hey! Go figure. There are going to be a lot of people that are going to have to do that to pay the taxes in this state and their mortgages etc..... Just filling your gas tank is a days pay for some. You wonder why all the crime and robberies? THINK ABOUT IT! Also, what about that girl that was attacked in Lincoln Park? What the heck was she doing out at 1:30am???? Where are her parents???? Let us start disciplining our children (and I mean spanking, not beating the hell out of them), without going to jail. When you find these kids on the street after hours up to no good, throw them in jail for the night. Let them see what it's all about. No more slaps on the wrist. That's the only thing that's going to work. This city is falling apart. Something has to be done.

Are we going into another recession? This country is ridiculous. With taxes going up, electric/gas going up, groceries going up, bus fares going up, etc...(you get the point). Are we all going to end up living in cardboard boxes underneath the hoan bridge? Probably! Why should we have to pay more taxes to give to MPS? Does anyone pay attention to their track record. Obviously not. This is making me sick to death. I don't want to lose my home because of all this. Do I have to work 3 jobs just to make ends meet? Thanks for nothing Doyle. I hope you are comfortable in your nice big house and don't have to worry about how your going to pay your next mortgage payment or feed your family. You're having steak and lobster while the rest of us are having spam just because we can't afford your taxes here in Wisconsin. People are going to start getting really pissed off about all this raising taxes and everything else and it's not going to turn out pretty. I can pretty much guarantee you that. We can only take so much of this BLEEP. Everything is going up but the paychecks. Is there enough welfare money out there to take care of us all when we lose our homes and can't afford to eat anymore?

What the heck next is going to go up? Gas is bad enough. Now WE Energies wants to increase their rates. I'm going mad. How the heck can anyone live anymore. Do they realize people are going to resort again to stealing gas and possibly trying to steal electric if they can't afford it???? I'm finding it harder and harder to live. My paycheck is not increasing. How the heck can they get away with it. Don't they realize that not all people make 20 bucks an hour and can't pay the ever increasing rates. Does it even pay to write to anyone about it? Will they listen? Probably not. Look at Doyle!!!!!!

Governer Doyle sure knows how to make enemies. Do you know what a ban on smoking in bars would do to these establshments? What is Doyle thinking? If you don't like smoking, stay out of the bars or better yet, have someone open a non-smoking only bar for these people. I don't mind the restaurants and work places, but come on. People look forward to weekends and going out an relaxing and having a couple drinks and yes, smoking if they please. What a crock. Doyle, worry about something else like the gas gouging that is going on. Or the repeat drunk drivers who have been arrested 8 times and are still on the road. Get off the smoking kick. If people want to smoke, they should be able to. In bars especially.

This story scares me. Police throw a man into a wall and then laugh when he can't get up. Why can't he? He's now paralyzed. What the heck kind of background and psychological tests do they have for police officers? I'm scared to death to get pulled over for speeding or something minor. What if that officer had a bad day and decides to take it out on me. What can you do? What if he feels like shooting someone that day because the last one got away? Would an innocent person be that victim? Something has got to change. We should not have to be afraid of the police. To protect & serve is what they are supposed to uphold. Also, why are suspended police officers still getting paid?

I have a solution to stop a lot of the crime being committed by kids. Let the parents discipline them. It used to be where you could spank your child and not have to worry about being arrested. Not so any more. These kids will even taunt the parents by saying, "go ahead" and I'll call the cops. How ridiculous is that. Parents should be able to spank their children without worrying about going to jail. Why do you think a lot of kids are growing up to be criminals? NO DISCIPLINE IN THEIR LIVES!!! I say take that law back and allow parents to be able to discipline without repercussion. I'm not saying you should be able to beat your children, but a little discipline goes a long way. We've been letting these kids get away with murder (literally). It has to stop.
