Chris Abele对MPS及其学生的承诺忽视了民主
我们正在为民主而斗争，反对寡头，有影响力的资本家，他们想控制政府，为了个人利益，往往以牺牲普通公民为代价。

如果沃克拒绝医疗补助资金，威斯康星州营业税将增加数百万美元
在周五早上的媒体电话会议上，健康倡导人士讨论了一项新的研究，该研究表明，如果州长斯科特·沃克拒绝增加《平价医疗法案》(Affordable Care Act)提供的联邦医疗补助资金，威斯康星州的企业将多支付1.2亿美元的联邦税收。

在筹款之路上
大卫·雷默举办了一场筹款活动和艺术品拍卖，以推进他竞选县长的计划。密尔沃基艺术与设计学院(Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design)就是那个地方，超过100人来到这里观看艺术作品(Guido Brink的回顾展)，并在3月8日与候选人见面。宴会上有葡萄酒，食物可能是今年大型竞选活动中最好的。零食包括鹰嘴豆泥和各种精心准备、美味可口的蔬菜奶酪。每个人都得闭上嘴听候选人的简短演讲。Riemer在这些方面做得越来越好，不像其他总统候选人甚至市长候选人，他能够以合理的自发程度调整信息给他的听众。MIAD的人们了解到，Riemer有两个兄弟都是演员，妈妈也是。他在大学(读本科)学习诗歌。“艺术不仅仅是一种附加品。艺术对都市圈来说是必不可少的。 It is essential to its success.” No argument from the crowd on that account. Marvin Pratt showed up, and that created a mild buzz for a while. Riemer campaign guru Bill Christofferson wants us all to know that his candidate’s “Last Blast” fundraiser will be held in Turner Hall on March 23rd, 5-7 p.m. The Riemer campaign sent out a news release encouraging its supporters to cast absentee ballots. Election Day, April 6th is Passover, he reminds us. It is also a time when many of us might be out of town on Spring break. Riemer would appreciate it if we voted before fleeing this miserable weather. It is all about turnout, at this point. Molly Christofferson, Bill’s daughter, did campaign work for Sandy Folaron. She now works for Marvin Pratt. Strange bedfellows. Bob Weiss held a fundraiser for Acting Mayor Pratt March 10th, at his restaurant, Shakers, 422 S. Second St. He sent me a note: “Clueless staffers, no signage, no promo materials, NO candidate, when promised 6-8 p.m. for His fundraiser.” Weiss said the event coordinator “sat by self in back corner, left after an hour. Some big hitter clients of mine left in disgust since Marvin not there. … Overall, hardly our greatest political experience.” Weiss is planning a solstice party this week (good timing), with plenty of food and booze. Forget the politics! Unopposed and Raising Money: Musings on the Common Council Presidency It is tough to draw a crowd in an election year when you have no opponent, and it’s nice for a candidate to not have to sweat his election. “I only hold one fundraiser a year and this is it,” said Ald. Michael Murphy at Derry Hegarty’s Pub, an event that perhaps saw about 75 people. The event was Thursday, March 11th, close enough to St. Patrick’s Day, which is appropriate since Murphy claims to be of Irish heritage. Since the money wasn’t absolutely necessary, and since the candidate seemed destined to win, the fundraiser easily lurched into its secondary […]

Lautenschlager的混乱
上周，司法部长佩格·劳滕施拉格因酒驾被捕，被禁止驾驶她的国有汽车一年，而州长吉姆·多伊尔则坐上了驾驶座。两人曾私下就州长就业法案的条款争吵，劳滕施拉格威胁要利用她的权力确保法律符合该州的环境法规，而她暗示法律并不符合。司法部长采取这种独立行动在威斯康辛州并不新鲜。道尔是该法案的主要实践者，但话说回来，他是民主党人，而当时的州长是共和党人。媒体注意到Doyle建议Lautenschlager放弃她的一些薪水，作为对她的不检点行为的一种忏悔，这件事目前仍未解决。Doyle还建议Lautenschlager考虑加入一个治疗问题饮酒者的项目。他说，他有很多朋友也有类似的情况，这种治疗对他们有帮助。事实上，公开承认罪行和责任(Lautenschlager所做的)通常伴随着立即承认问题的存在。然后，受试者通常会迅速进入治疗程序并完成治疗，之后就会忘记这件事。Lautenschlager到目前为止还没有承认这一点，这让她处于要么没有“问题”，要么“否认”的境地。 It does leave Doyle high and dry, however, and much less likely to face interference in his plans from that peskiest of all politicians – an ambitious Attorney General. Walker at the War Memorial County Executive Scott Walker welcomed about 100 well-clad guests to a fundraiser February 26th at the War Memorial Center. The strictly upper-crust affair was a Republican-type fundraiser, which meant that hard liquor was consumed (in moderation) and beer, for the most part, was ignored. For those fans of the frothy stuff, Walker offered Miller products and Heineken. Food was by Ellen’s Prestige Catering, and included strolling waiters, another classy touch. Menu items included spinach somethings, meat and melted cheese on sandwich rounds, wrapped up little salmon tidbits, an entirely unsuccessful raspberry-brie tart, platters of some kind of 21st century sandwich product along with perfectly delicious fruit. The event was unmarred by public oratory, but was enhanced by an A-list of locals practicing up for the next time Bush is in town. Among the exalted: George Dalton, Dennis Kuester (on crutches), Michael Cudahy, mourning the recent death of Daniel Urban Kiley, creator of the $4 million Cudahy garden outside the adjacent Milwaukee Art Museum, Fred Luber, Tim Hoeksma, Carol Skornicka, John Finerty, Jim Weichmann, Joe Rice, Mary Buestrin, Corey Hoze and developer Mark Irgens. Hoze has secured speaker Dennis Hastert to appear at a $2000 fundraiser on his hopeless behalf in his upcoming congressional campaign. That’s rich. Marvin Pratt popped in and worked the crowd for about 20 minutes before his cop told him it was time to […]

克拉克得到了两个州的支持
威斯康辛州的两位老政治家最近加入了韦斯利·克拉克竞选总统的行列。前市议员、国务卿和律师维尔·菲利普斯最近为代理市长马文·普拉特宣誓就职。她说，她支持这位阿肯色州将军竞选总统。在她的支持下，她加入了查尔斯·兰格尔和安德鲁·杨等黑人领袖的行列。1月27日星期二，菲利普斯参加了在朱莉·w·科勒家中为克拉克举办的募捐活动。菲利普斯说，她刚刚和亨利·亚伦通过电话，他提出给她寄机票，并安排她2月6日在亚特兰大参加他的生日派对。“哦，我不确定我是否会去，”维尔说，这让参加派对的人感到沮丧，他们无法想象拒绝亨利·亚伦的任何邀请，无论是否有免费的航空旅行和住宿。她到星期天还没有决定。威尔·菲利普斯面临许多决定。离开市政会议后，她买了那张市议员们曾经用过的旧卷顶桌子，直到现在的宝石安装完毕。这张桌子可能会捐给威斯康星历史学会。 Why not the city-owned Milwaukee Public Library? “Well, the historical society already has a full-size statue of me,” Phillips said. Good enough reason. The attendees, including Frank Gimbel (who has a huge Clark sign posted in his east side yard), Mort and Dani Gendelman, Curry First, Dennis Conta and about 40 others filled the Kohler residence to talk up their man and to dine on way too much food provided from such disparate sources as Sam’s Club and Watermark restaurant. A special guest of honor was to have been former Senator Gaylord Nelson, ranked fourth on a list of the most important Wisconsinites in history. He’s the only one of the top five who is still alive. Alas! Nelson hadn’t even made it as far as the end of the driveway of his Kensington, Maryland home in days, so he called in his visit by speakerphone. Heavy snowfall complicated by quaint Maryland snow removal traditions kept him home, Nelson said. He endorses Clark for president, the Earth Day founder told the attendees in Milwaukee. Nelson speaks very slowly these days. The delivery, although halting, does nothing to mute the intellectual vigor and wit of Nelson. Regarding his choice of the military man for president, the anti-Vietnam War ex-Senator said, “People were wondering how could Gaylord Nelson support a general for president?” (Pause.) “Well, George Washington was a general.” (Pause.) “And he was a pretty good president.” (Laughter.) Apparently, Nelson held republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower in high regard. He noted that General Ike warned us about the military-industrial complex. “This is a fascinating race,” Nelson said, (Pause.) But there is a long way to go.” The State of Wisconsin constitution, as amended, does not give the Lieutenant Governor much to do. This suited Scott McCallum fine, but Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton is a restless sort and has been an early supporter and campaign groupie of […]
