克里拉力赛

8月2日星期一，参议员约翰·克里在马奎特神父公园的一次公众集会上再次访问了密尔沃基。公园的大门在下午4:30打开，当时总统候选人还在乘坐Lake Express渡轮穿越密歇根湖。如今，进入克里公园需要经过安全人员的彻底检查，所以到下午6点，从公园入口处的普兰金顿和基尔伯恩开始，队伍一直延伸到河对岸的马库斯表演艺术中心(Marcus Center for the Performing Arts)，然后向北延伸，包围了公园，在东道街(E. State Street)向东延伸，最后在爱迪生街(N. Edison Street)逐渐减弱。图片请点击这里。队伍缓慢移动，保安检查与会者，清空口袋等。一旦进入安全的围栏，人们就可以从亚马逊披萨店购买瓶装水和披萨，这是W. Wells大街上一家有趣的新店。然而，许多人没有通过安全检查，他们只是在河边扎营，从马库斯中心(Marcus Center)的河滨步道上享受这一活动。这是一个很好的镜头，因为候选人克里在公园北端的一个凸起的平台上讲话，会不时向远处海岸的人做手势。唉，密尔沃基世界几乎已经放弃了对这次活动的远距离报道，但事实证明，这次活动有一个特别的入口，我们打算把它变成我们的。乔·克莱因和我前往基尔伯恩与N.第三街的交汇处，一名警官在那里告诉我们，我们不能走到设在我们视线范围内、但又够不着的记者台。与此同时，他向参议员赫伯·科尔(Herb Kohl)、众议员谢尔登·沃瑟曼(Sheldon Wasserman)、史蒂夫·马库斯(Steve Marcus)等知名人士挥手致意，他们都有红票，而我们没有。 Providentially, Margaret Henningsen showed up on the scene with an extra red ticket, which we begged for and received. The red ticket made us legit for the officer, and we proceeded through our screening, after watching several of the people mentioned above get screened themselves. (Steve Marcus does not look like a guy who gets frisked a lot.) Inside the gates of the special section, where the red-ticketed people go, we were treated to a fascinating caste system in which our “Kerry Edwards From Sea to Shining Sea Believe in America Tour” Press pass marked us as scum. The real media stars, and there were dozens of them, were members of the “Traveling Press.” The Traveling Press spends its time apart from the regular press, and they dine together in a fancy tent. The food was from Chef Pat’s catering. Pat Houlihan said the campaign kept changing its meal plans, but he settled on roast pork sandwiches, a couple of salads, pretzels, soft drinks and Miller Beer. The Traveling Press drinks very little beer, which in the end turned out to be a blessing for Chef Pat’s weary and thirsty crew. The […]

pleale Recall Drive开始

一群南部的政治活动人士能否团结起来，获得13212个签名，迫使一场罢免杰夫·普拉尔参议员的选举?众议员乔恩·理查兹对此表示怀疑。众议员乔希·泽普尼克(Josh Zepnick)说:“这件事不会有结果。”“这些人太懒了!他们在报纸上登了一则广告，要求人们前来签署一份召回请愿书。谁来做呢?”真的足够了。为了赢得选举，你必须挨家挨户敲门，在窗户上贴告示，做各种各样的草根活动。在普莱的召回尝试中，这方面的证据很少，在普莱所在地区的北部边缘，包括布雷迪街和东区，也绝对没有证据表明这一点。这并没有阻止Plale打印出成千上万的足球赛程，他会在每个回合分发这些赛程。 The South Milwaukeean made the journey to St. Rita’s Church last week to attend the Brady Street Association monthly meeting where he was asked about the recall. “They’ve got until September 7th to get the signatures to recall me,” Plale told the audience. When told there seemed to be no effort on the East Side to circulate petitions, Plale said, “well, these people wouldn’t know how to find Brady Street.” Plale was also in the Brady Street area for what the neighborhood hopes is an annual Artisinal Food Festival. The gig was held Sunday, July 25th, and Plale was there along with his schedules. The recall effort against him stemmed from his crucial vote to uphold Governor Doyle’s veto of a republican-sponsored measure to limit property tax increases. Plale says the upcoming plans to sponsor a constitutional amendment known as the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights, (TABOR) is similarly flawed, and a potential recipe for disaster. He cites Colorado, a state that has enacted similar provisions into its laws and is now in the midst of its worst fiscal crisis ever. Amendment on the Run The legislature republicans spent the last unedifying session promoting the agenda of Gays, Guns and Gambling. The Madison gang came up with loads of goofy legislation, none of which could sustain a veto by the governor. Leave it to this group to be able to reconvene and pass a constitutional amendment, no less, in just one week. This was the decision of Sen. Mary Panzer, the republican leader who had earlier been criticized for not rushing a Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights law through the Solomonic deliberations of the nation’s most august lawmakers. But, as soon as she faced a primary challenge from Rep.Glenn Grothman, an ambitious fellow republican who covets her senate seat, Panzer decided to schedule a vote for this week. Then, the legislature can go home and come back next year to vote again. Then, finally, the matter will be put to public vote in a referendum, if it is still alive. But, if the legislature does not act by August 5th, the whole procedure would have to be repeated in yet one […]

Lautenschlager的混乱

美国司法部长佩格·劳滕施拉格(Peg Lautenschlager)上周因酒驾被捕，她将被禁止驾驶自己的国有汽车一年，并由州长吉姆·多伊尔(Jim Doyle)担任司机。两人曾就州长就业法案的条款私下争吵，Lautenschlager威胁要用她的权力来确保该法律符合该州的环境法规，但她暗示这并不符合。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执行者，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，道尔建议劳滕施拉格放弃部分薪酬，作为对她轻率行为的一种忏悔，这一问题目前仍未得到解决。Doyle还建议Lautenschlager考虑加入一个治疗酗酒问题的项目。他说，他有很多朋友都有类似的情况，治疗对他们有帮助。事实上，公开承认有罪和责任(Lautenschlager就是这样做的)通常伴随着对问题存在的迅速承认。然后，受试者通常会迅速进入一个治疗方案并完成它，之后就会忘记这件事。劳滕施拉格到目前为止还没有承认这一点，这使得她要么没有“问题”，要么“否认”这个问题。 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 […]
