Brewtown Politico: Midwest buyout is bad for city and state
http://milwaukee.blogspot.com/2006/12/midwest-buyout-is-bad-for-city-and.html
Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee. Midwest buyout is bad for city and state. AirTran is taking the won't-take-no-for-an-answer approach to its bid to buy out locally owned Midwest Airlines. Joe Leonard, Airtran's CEO, was in town Thursday schmoozing with local leaders to make the deal sound like a win-win. Add to that the fact that a buyout would result in Milwaukee losing another major local company to an outside buyer, and I think you can count it as a net loss for the community.

http://milwaukee.blogspot.com/2006/12/disputed-florida-race-not-over-yet.html
Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee. Disputed Florida race not over yet. Looks like the Florida Congressional election with 18,000 missing votes. Will be taken up by the House of Representatives. This is a district, Sarasota area in Florida, where there's no way of knowing whether the result presented by Florida's secretary of state is valid. In fact, I think there is significant evidence that it is not," Holt told reporters. Posted by Scott @ 11:41 AM. WisOpinion Blog of the Month.

http://milwaukee.blogspot.com/2007/01/hegerty-out-in-november.html
Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee. Hegerty out in November. Milwaukee's police chief Nan Hegerty announced today that she will resign. She has served in that position since being appointed in 2003. It appears that Hegarty has had strained relations with the rank and file, and Mayor Tom Barrett. The Frank Jude beating was the beginning of the end, and now the Fire and Police Commission and the mayor will have some time to consider a new candidate. Posted by Scott @ 9:37 PM. People's...

Brewtown Politico: Battle: 1 War: 0
http://milwaukee.blogspot.com/2006/12/battle-1-war-0.html
Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee. Battle: 1 War: 0. For the supporters of the marriage amendment in November's election, civil unions are not dead in Wisconsin like many of them had hoped. While the amendment did include civil unions, the debate goes on. From the Cap Times. Young voters - particularly college students - tended to be overwhelmingly against the amendment, and heavy turnout on some UW campuses was credited with helping Democrats regain control of the state Senate.

Brewtown Politico: Progressive talk coming to town via Chicago
http://milwaukee.blogspot.com/2007/11/progressive-talk-coming-to-town-via.html
Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee. Progressive talk coming to town via Chicago. I come out of retirement briefly to announce a victory of sorts in the quest for progressive talk radio in MKE. Chicago's WCPT-AM is moving from 850AM to 820AM. It's still a daytime only station, but the move greatly expands its reach allowing Milwaukeeans to receive it on their radios. Read more at the station's website. Posted by Scott @ 2:14 PM.
