Blogger's Block Open Thread

I can't think of much to say today. (and there was much rejoicing...yay) but Thursday I'm having lunch with Alderman Frink, and there are several ward meetings coming up, including Mr. Frink's, and possibly Alderman Lynn. I also emailed Craig Malin with a few questions about various issues, so there could be some posts about those forthcoming. What's on people's minds?

See Van Fossen got busted for the OWI. I believe its a personal issue, but I am sure the bloggers will beat him down like McGivern..

QCI, while I might enjoy making jokes over your delight in the urbane lifestyle, I must in all honesty give you credit for your stand over on SOLO pertaining to people incorrectly labeling their facts. A wage is a wage and a benny is a benny and if one wishes to decry a particular wage, don't cloud the point by quoting the entire package.

Honest argument must needs be kept honest.

I agree with the above post, and welcome you to our side of the issue. Thank you for coming around, QCI. Hopefully this town can get cleaned up soon, and a lot of employees need to find the door.

Its not so much coming around, really. I always kind of wondered why we needed a highly paid person to manage a few meter maids and 3 parking garages. Maybe there's more to the science of parking that meets the eye.

Just because I don't oppose all spending doesn't mean I don't oppose some. I just have a different set of priorities, I suppose.

For example, many of Alderman Meyer's ideas for cuts I find horrifying. I also find it strange that while he didn't want the Public Works inquiry to be a witch-hunt, he named names of specific people in his list, instead of job titles.

Pat McGrath is retireing at Public Works and a reorganization of the responsibilities of the position is planned.
