Look... If I pay $5,600 a year in property taxes;

and you pay $600 a year in property taxes;

THEY HAD BETTER fix my potholes faster that the guy paying 600 a year!

End of discussion!!!!

I had to chuckle when I heard Stevie's family talking about how caring he was. I guess he didn't care that they had open intoxicants in the car, or that they killed the tree they hit, or were speeding like maniacs through a neighborhood full of little kids, tore up someones lawn, shook up the neighbors.

I guess Stevie really didn't care. Nobody cares about anything anymore.

Saw the news conference on TV the other day. What a JOKE!

First, the Police Chief gets up.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

Then, the Mayor gets up.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

Talk is cheap, and we've all heard it before! Boy I tell ya, ol' Harold Brier would NEVER have let this city get to the point it's at now!

All those two care about is wether or not the paycheck clears!

I like to try to blow my fingers off as much as the next guy but read this! These are not very earth friendly.

Recent celebrations may have caused many tons of heavy metal pollution to be released. Here is an extract that should give people a wake up call.

"The Swedish technical magazine New Teknik (October 1999) estimated that tons of lead, 60 tons of chromium and several kilograms of cadmium will be sprinkled over Sweden during a couple of hours on the coming New Year's Eve."  -Elizabeth O'Brien of the LEAD Group.

"Fireworks can contain carcinogenic sulfer-coal compounds and spread an odor of black gunpowder. Radioactive Barium makes the green sparkling color and considerable amounts of strontium are also spread," says O'Brien.

According to New Scientist (3 July, 1999), fireworks also cause dioxin pollution and blue fireworks release the most dioxins. This is because the copper responsible for their color catalyses the formation of the poisons when chlorinated chemicals in fireworks burn, according to the latest issue of Chemosphere (vol.39, p 925).

According to Monica Kauppi of the Heavy Metal Bulletin, "During the Stockholm Water Festival in 1996, the levels of pollutants in the air was measured before and after the fireworks by an environmental agency. Arsenic levels were doubled and the levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, copper, zinc and chromium were four to five times elevated.”

On July 6th, WEENERgies sponsored free admission to Summerfest from Noon to 3 p.m.. This comes after they announce only three short days ago that they will increase all of our utility bills by 3.7%. Thanks. Let the good times roll!

We Energies customers will see their third increase in electricity prices since the start of the year, after state regulators on Thursday authorized a boost linked to soaring natural gas prices (and the high cost of paying for free admission to Summerfest).

I can go to Aldi's and buy 3 cans of 29 cent corn to get into Bummerfest for free.

Why don't they make it 5 cans? I don't think anyone would be put out by bringing 5 cans, and if they REALLY wanted some food, they should have a deal that for every five cans of food above and beyond the original 5, you get a coupon for a FREE BEER!

And if you bring 100 cans, you get a free golf cart ride to-and-from your car!

A little white truck from U S Beef rolls up in front of your house, and a guy asks you if you want to buy some beef.

You just paid $250 for about $100 bucks worth of meat, and now the guy is GONE! Congrats, you've just been BURNED, and you don't want to admit it because you feel like a fool that you let yourself get burned.

Don't even deal with these people. I used to work for them. They have an ad in the Employment Section every week for about the last ten years because the people they hire are ashamed to run the scam for a living every day, and quit.

They are still using the old line, "I've just finished delivering, and I have some extra steaks." There are no deliveries. Ask him to see an invoice. He doesn't HAVE any because there aren't any! The guy throws 15 boxes in the back of his truck, and drives around the neighborhood preying on housewives and old people.

AND SHAME on FOX 6 for not investigating this company since THE LAST TIME I posted about this company! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!!!!!!

The airport wants a new "Hush House". This is a structure that quiets noise from jet engines when they are worked on. It's like a large "soundproof booth for planes" with three sides, and I guess It's all good for da hood. This will end up costing you and I a few Million $$$.

The one that the airport has now is only good for larger planes such as the 747's, DC-7's and the L1011's, etc..

Now, my question is this. When was the last time something that big even LANDED at the airport, let alone had any work done on it that required the NEED for a large hush house?  Don't you think that if something that large needed repair, they would do it at Chicago's O'Hare or Minneapolis (Northwest's Hub); especially when 99% of the stuff flying out of Mitchell is smaller like a DC-9 or an Airbus 380, etc..

Why didn't they just build a small one to BEGIN WITH? DUH. Well, I guess it's only money... yours and mine.

April Fool's!

Like that will be the day.

Remember the last time big oil went on trial before some useless congressional sub-committee? Gas went down about 5 cents for two days, and nothing else happened.

Why even bother?

Well, well...a new grocery store on the block. The new Woodman's has finally opened on S. Howell Avenue by AC Delco. I gave it a try because I was sick of Pick-ing, but not REALLY Sav-ing.

Sorry Pick, you have lost me forever!

Where else can you get $180 worth of food for $99 bucks. The Pick is waaay DEAD! Long live The Wood!

Great job on posting this blog.

Who said? Were these people high? I didn't get to vote, and besides how hard can it be to repeat the same 7 news stories over and over.

Maybe if someone ELSE had news on in the morning, maybe we would be Number two or three...

Oh, great job on the posting of this blog

Fox6 has it's Faves. National Bakery, anything to do with Johnny Vassallo's Restaurants, and of course Serb Hall.

National Bakery. Ok it's yummy, but maybe there is another place that is just as yummy?

Moe's Irish Pub (Jonny Vassallo). Why is it that every time Johnny passes gas it makes the news? You completely dropped the ball on St. Patrick's Day. I can see 4 people at a bar anytime. Why didn't you take the trip and show the huge parade in Erin, or the festivities in Alderley?

Serb Hall- and their famous fish fry. I'm sorry, that fry is NASTY. Is that really coleslaw? STOP giving everybody that comes to town indigestion and try the fish at Gold Star on 58th & Oklahoma. Bigger portions and cheaper prices!

ps- Back when they compared pizzas, the didn't even GO to Marco's on College, they toured Sheboygan!

Listen, hear that? That's the ball dropping.
