Today republican party insider and David “Ike Turner” Prosser’s best friend Brian Schimming was the host of the vile Vicki Mckenna Show. He also had our good friend Dave Blaska as a “special” guest. One of the callers called to say that he called Harry Reid’s office to ask when he was going to require [...]

And he wants as much of your taxpayer money as he can get his hands on. If you live in Sun Prairie or have driven through you would have probably seen a sign with the unique name. Mr. Hutkowski(Mr. H) is currently running. Not a typo as Mr. Hutkowski is running for every job he [...]

The Village of Cottage Grove meeting this week was very telling of four members of the board. This item: e. Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee i. Discuss and consider the 2011 action steps. In most cases this would be a blip on the screen and passed quickly and move on. The idea behind this is that [...]

I wanted to follow up to this post. Where some anti-education individuals from Cottage Grove complained that a note was sent home publicizing an all inclusive community wide meeting on how to best improve our education. After an open records request, I found out that there were two complaints. One by phone who did not [...]

I received this email from a local Village resident(thanks for putting me on the mailing list). While I am not surprised that one side is party to negative campaigning(when there are no positives, negatives are all that is left). I think it is only appropriate to look at some of these claims. The following un-edited [...]

In the midst of the whole “budget repair” bill fiasco and Governor Walkers re-igniting of the progressive movement in America, the republicans in wisconsin and elsewhere, they have also been acting just as shamelessly close to home. Appointed village president Mike Mikalsen, has decided to actually face the voters and is running on a false [...]

I’d kept half an eye on the Dame County Task Force on Racial Disparities in the Criminal Justice System, but my interest and hope has markedly increased with the beginnings of the Implementation Team work. When the Task Force Report came out I was impressed with the thorough documentation of the issues along with the [...]

Buy him a trip to Europe! Oh, you either can’t or don’t want to buy Mayor Dave Cieslewicz a trip to Europe? You could send him a nice hand-written letter instead. I’m sure that’ll make a difference… Or maybe send an e-mail, I’m sure that’ll be on the same level as a trip to Europe…
