Well, made the move last week for three of my classes to some of the brand new renovated classrooms at East from my previous ones, which are now under construction.
So, how are they? Well, to start, for my English class, I have been relocated to the new room 122. I call it the Weird Room. [...]

What recession?
April 3rd, 2008 · 11 Comments
So why all this talk of recession? It’s an election year. The “R” word is often used to signal to the American voter that change is demanded. Who benefits from change this November? Democrats.
I suppose it’s semantics, and in reality a recession isn’t measured until after the fact, but from what I could research, the [...]

Ink by the barrel
April 2nd, 2008 · 27 Comments
Remember this? A reporter writes an article to support the company line (Oh, our pathetic high schools!) and the referendum passes. A reporter supports the Mayor to keep access to City Hall, the incumbent goes down.
Details on the Steinberg article: Sub-line “Judge defends demeanor”; Names to defend Steinberg: Steinberg. Names to attack: Warchol, Collins, Tushaus, [...]

Postmortem
April 1st, 2008 · 7 Comments
Well, it’s over. (Book club was fun, thanks for asking.)
It looks like we have a new municipal judge. Recounts rarely change a final vote – but it is city wide and the margin is 10. I think it’s safe to say Warchol won.
I’m 3 of 4 in my choices for the Common Council. Dan Sutton, [...]

Voter turnout Brookfield District 2
April 1st, 2008 · 29 Comments
1608 at 7:00 p.m. with active traffic, but no line to vote. Again, last year about 2200 voted for the referendum.
Ah, I’m not sure I like a lower turnout. It could be NO voter couldn’t vote YES, but didn’t want to vote NO. It could also mean that YES voters with younger children are [...]

Leaky pipe reply
April 1st, 2008 · 9 Comments
This guy really gets me. He thinks I should have seen the leaky pipe in one of the many tours arranged by the district. What he ignorantly suggests is that the pipe would have been leaking then, and the district has purposely ignored the repaired.
Smith earlier wrote that he arranged two interviews within the same [...]

Leaky pipe update
April 1st, 2008 · 6 Comments
I’ve asked twice in comments that I know the Elmbrook communications office reads. I sent an e-mail to Superintendent Matt Gibson, Communications Director Andy Smith, and Central High School Principal Don LaBonte. I very much want to photograph and videotape the leaky pipe that was used on a television channel this morning when discussing the [...]

Lots to talk about
April 1st, 2008 · 38 Comments
Good morning. There’s lots I’d like to discuss.
First, we did it. Yesterday bested an old hit high and turned in 1,023 unique visits and 2,595 page loads. It’s pretty exciting to meet one of the goals I set for the blog less than three months after it started.

While falling asleep last night (I swear if [...]

Mark Belling on the Elmbrook referendum
March 31st, 2008 · Comments Off
“Why do you think they would put something as preposterous and air conditioning the gyms in there? The answer is because all of these things are inflated!”
You can listen for yourself here. It’s the first thing after the ad.

(I know, I can’t believe I’m saying that!)
I have it on good authority we may be seeing an interview about the Elmbrook referendum.
