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, [...]

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.

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 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.

Please read all of my letter to the editor regarding the Elmbrook High School referendum. Molly Steffen of the Vote YES team agrees with my point so much that she sent part of the letter to her e-mail list! The $62.2 million referendum is close, but not quite. If the board had kept their hands [...]
