坊间传言(12.21.2007)
西雅图市长格雷格·尼克尔斯正在制定一项计划，通过发放免费公交卡，鼓励所有城市雇员使用公共交通工具。密尔沃基应该支持他。《每日记者》对影响94号州际公路27街匝道的问题进行了深入了解。路德会的繁荣金融公司捐了一大笔钱来促进哈兰比社区的改善。如果能有更多的公司加入进来，推动这一进程，那就太好了。尼尔·皮尔斯(Neal Peirce)有一篇文章是关于铁路作为城际运动的一种广泛旅行模式的重生。他提到Frank Busalacchi是一位领导者，讽刺的是，在过去的几年里，他除了汽车之外什么都没有(KRM资金来源的失败，I-94的扩张)。但国家的主动行动也至关重要。威斯康辛州交通部长Frank Busalacchi领导着由30个州交通部门组成的“客运铁路联盟”，呼吁将联邦和州政府的资金分成80比20，为铁路扩张提供一些真正的动力。“国家走廊倡议”正在圣路易斯举办“美国交通未来卡迈克尔会议”，讨论在美国推广和扩大城际铁路旅行的问题。 I won’t be able to attend because of financial reasons (if you have $300 to pay for the conference and hotel, let me know), but look forward to seeing the results. Inter-city transit is a huge boost for urban areas and Milwaukee could certainly use a boost with more linking with nearby Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, and Racine. An intelligent look at how individual route management might work in New York City and does work in Copenhagen. MCTS could use something like this for areas of its system to improve service. Bus design and management should certainly be different for routes that serve UWM and Marquette vs those that serve primarily the workforce.

薰衣草，黑色和绿色
绿党的全国代表大会将于本周在密尔沃基举行，代表投票将于周六举行。最大的问题是:该机构会支持拉尔夫·纳德吗?这个令人烦恼的问题将使密尔沃基再次成为全国瞩目的焦点，无论时间多么短暂。该党已经批准了几个小组的成立，包括黑色绿党和薰衣草绿党。第一组由非裔美国人组成，第二组由男同性恋、女同性恋、变性人和“跨性别”(对我来说是个新概念)成员组成。截至今年5月，共有来自22个州的297964名注册环保人士，还有来自威斯康辛等州的人数不详，这些州的选民登记没有明确政党。该党的候选人包括4名美国参议员，38名众议院议员，1名州长，1名副州长和94名州议会议员。绿党称，包括威斯康辛州在内的27个州至少有204名绿党议员。纳德于2000年获得民主党提名，目前拥有50名代表，落后于拥有194名代表的大卫·科布和112名代表的彼得·卡梅乔。超过200名代表不支持上述任何一项，或者没有表态。 Nader wrote the party in March to say “I am running as an Independent and am not seeking nor accepting the Green Party nomination. If you do not choose a presidential candidate in Milwaukee, I would welcome your endorsement.” You can figure out for yourself whatever that means. Whomever the candidate, the party promises to run television ads in the presidential race, another first. One of the featured speakers at a post-convention rally will be Frank P. Zeidler, a former presidential candidate himself (Socialist Party) and reason enough to attend the event. A Man in a Hurray: Marc “Leadfoot” Marotta Department of Administration head Marc Marotta has a date in the Jefferson County intake court on June 29th at 9 a.m. in conjunction with his citation on May 24th for speeding on the freeway. The 41-year old attorney and former basketball star was busted for exceeding the speed limit by 20 – 24 miles per hour, an offense that carries a $255.40 bond. Officer Michael Meyers of the Jefferson County Sheriff Department collared the Mequon resident after clocking him going 21 miles over the limit. Earlier this year, on February 25th (the day after Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager was busted for drunk driving) Peter Moe of the State Patrol cited Marotta for speeding on the freeway, also in Jefferson County. It was a more easy-going Marotta that time, since he was caught speeding 16 – 19 miles per hour above the speed limit. On April 22nd, that charge was amended to Speeding on Freeway 1 – 10 miles above the limit. Marotta pled no contest to that charge and was fined $181. The vigilant officer Moe also noted that Marotta, a senior government official, had expired plates (PUR108), so we assume it is his personal vehicle in which he was hot-rodding, but that charge was dismissed. His attorney was Michael […]

《桥》的“开创性”
没有铁锹就不是真正的破土动工，所以公共工程部的Cecelia Gilbert带来了五把使用良好的铁锹，尽管是礼仪性的，5月27日周四庆祝霍尔顿有袋动物桥开始建设。热心的政要们察觉到这是在拍照，便抓起铁锹，做着把铁锹挖进霍尔顿高架桥下面的沥青路面的手势。仪式安排为市长汤姆·巴雷特(Tom Barrett)举行，他在参加女儿的钢琴独奏会之前也出席了仪式。其他客人包括Ald。Michael S. D 'Amato, Ald。迈克尔·i·麦基，小，主管格里·布罗德里克和詹姆斯·怀特，以及前州参议员布莱恩·伯克。朱莉·科勒(Julilly Kohler)担任此次活动的司仪，她的发言很谨慎，但她还是设法说出了所有帮助她实现梦想的人的名字。其中包括“来自第五区的前国会议员”，布莱恩·伯克这样称呼他的小学老朋友汤姆·巴雷特，他作为市长第一次在公共工程项目上交出了仪式用的铲子。建筑师James Dallman和他的妻子Grace La以及Mathew P. Tharaniyil和Yakov N. Nenaydykh也在现场，他们分别是总统和Bloom咨询公司的副总裁，他们是横跨霍尔顿高架桥的项目工程师，架起了“有袋动物”桥——一条自行车和人行道，将在布雷迪街社区和湖前啤酒店及其周围的啤酒线“B”社区之间提供水平通道。威斯康星州交通部长Frank Busalacchi或隆达建筑公司(Lunda Construction)的任何代表都缺席了这次活动。隆达建筑公司是黑河瀑布市的一家建筑公司，赢得了建造这座桥的竞标。 Lunda appears to be a publicity-averse organization. The firm has expressed a reservation about having webcams at the construction site, saying they might reveal some “trade secrets” of the mysterious, arcane art of bridge building. Good heavens! It’s a bridge, not a plutonium refinery. Also missing from the event was Whitney Gould, although you wouldn’t have known it from the article she managed to write about it for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the next morning. She reported, correctly, that the Mayor was there, in an otherwise generic story composed of previously reported items. Sonya Jongsma-Knauss and Vince Bushell of the Riverwest Currents were there. The sole representative of the electronic media was Channel 58. Afterwards, the crowd of 100 or so headed up to the Lakefront Brewery Palm Garden where owner Russ Klisch turned on the taps. Earlier that day, a stressed Russ was trying to get his new bottling machine to behave. Even so, it still chewed up a few bottles as it went through its shakedown cruise. Sales manager Paul Moebius said things are going well at the brewery – maybe too well. “We’re running out of beer!” he said. Last year’s sales were 5,000 barrels, and this year the brewery could hit 7,000 barrels. This is better than 2 […]
