将爱达荷州的“停车法”引入威斯康辛州，鼓励更多的人骑自行车
建设一个对自行车更友好的城市，对这个州来说，更新威斯康星州的自行车法律是一个重要的部分，这样他们就能鼓励更多的骑自行车，而不是阻止它。例如，2009年6月，多伊尔州长签署了一项新的“反门”法律，修正了现行规定，即要求骑自行车的人必须离停着的汽车三英尺远。这项法律实际上保护了那些没有看一眼就把车门开到自行车道或街道上的司机，这经常导致骑自行车的人受伤。

道尔州长否决密尔沃基县交通销售税
当预算最终送到他的办公桌上时，威斯康星州州长吉姆·道尔在很多方面使用了他广泛的否决权。其中最重要的争议是密尔沃基交通管理局的单项否决权，以及密尔沃基县增加0.65%销售税的提议。道尔没有否决负责KRM通勤铁路线运营的SERTA，以及18美元的租车税。这一否决使道尔提议的三县销售税重新开始，以资助基诺沙、拉辛和密尔沃基县的KRM和巴士服务，同时不拖延KRM的发展进程。

火灾中的密歇根湖
我们心爱的密歇根湖有麻烦了。仅去年一年，供养大鲑鱼和鳟鱼的“小鱼”数量就减少了一半。由于越来越多的贻贝能够生活在深海，并掠夺水中的能量(浮游生物)，生态系统正处于水深火热之中。但别担心，吉姆·道尔会来救你(换个口味怎么样)。威斯康辛州将花费600万美元，为该州五大湖港口(最重要的是密尔沃基)建造一个实验性压舱水处理系统。正如你所知，今天密歇根湖的大多数入侵物种都是通过船舶排放的压舱水进入的。威斯康辛州和美国迟迟没有通过立法来规范这种排放行为，这种情况在很大程度上可以通过将压舱水排放到公海来防止。该系统有望成为五大湖所有港口最终采取措施允许压舱水排放的催化剂。

酿酒厂立法
一项反资本主义、支持游说的法律被偷偷地纳入了州预算。今年夏天，当这个想法最初提出时，密尔沃基啤酒屋的老板吉姆·麦凯布已经提出了抗议。我会让你形成自己的观点，但我想不出这条法律存在的理由。根据现行法律，威斯康星州的啤酒酒吧如果每年生产4000桶以上的啤酒，就只能经营两个地点。预算提案将产量上限提高到1万桶，并允许最多6个地点。这一改变是由麦迪逊地区的啤酒酒吧运营商Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co.寻求的，该公司今年早些时候开设了第三家酒吧。与此同时，麦凯布位于第二街613号的新啤酒厂，旨在增加路易消亡品牌的产量，以包装的形式在酒类商店和其他零售店销售。其他地区的精酿啤酒商，包括总部位于芝加哥的鹅岛啤酒公司和克利夫兰的大湖酿酒公司，都是从酿造酒吧开始的，麦凯布想走同样的道路。然而，新法律“限制了我们的整体增长，”他说。此外，新法律还禁止有执照的啤酒酒吧经营者同时拥有一家生产包装啤酒的啤酒厂，麦凯布和湖边啤酒公司总裁拉斯·克利施说。 McCabe said that might force him to convert the 2nd St. brewery into a brew pub – a move that would require a large investment. Klisch said he fears the production limit might require him to close Lakefront Palm Garden restaurant, which operates at his brewery, 1872 N. Commerce St. Lakefront Brewery this year will produce around 9,600 barrels and is expected to exceed 10,000 barrels in 2008, he said. The new provision could be changed by Gov. Jim Doyle through the line-item veto process, McCabe said. Another possibility is filing a lawsuit to challenge the law, he said. The proposed limits initially surfaced this summer and are supported by some of the state’s craft brewers and brew pub operators. The changes also are supported by the Wisconsin Beer Distributors Association Inc., whose members buy beer from breweries and then sell it to retailers. The law could help fend off possible lawsuits challenging the lack of a state brew pub license, association officials say. The wholesalers group also said the 10,000-barrel limit allows plenty of room for brew pubs to grow. The only places I can imagine that are in favor of it are Great Dane and Water Street Brewery because they don’t appear to be interested in selling their beer off-site via production at a brewery. I can’t figure out why this law exists. It seems anti-business and anti-logic to not allow Milwaukee’s (and Wisconsin’s) only locally-owned breweries from expanding their operations in ways that increase employment and generate tax revenue. They produce a quality product and are assets to both the restaurant and brewing community. Urban Milwaukee supports the repeal of this ridiculous […]

韩国铁路公司被排除在预算妥协之外
预算妥协方案刚刚得到了威斯康辛州立法机构双方的批准，本周晚些时候肯定会得到州长吉姆·多伊尔的批准。它在哪些方面影响了密尔沃基?用于连接基诺沙、拉辛和密尔沃基的高频率铁路线的KRM线路的资金被排除在预算之外。这笔钱将通过15美元的汽车租赁费/增税和债券筹集。奥斯比并没有说如果预算中不包括资金，这个项目就会夭折，但他承认必须进行一些认真的思考。他说:“老实说，我一直专注于把它纳入预算，现在是时候重组和重新考虑一些事情了。”“我认为公投还是有可能的。通过债券可用于铁路发展的资金有所增加，尽管在该州的其他地区。据奥什科什·西北报道，密尔沃基和麦迪逊之间的客运列车计划逐渐接近现实。预算将该列车开发的担保授权增加了3200万美元，将总担保授权提高到8000万美元。 The state plans to seek federal funds to cover 80 percent of the project’s cost, with state bonds covering the remaining 20 percent, up to a total project cost of $400 million. No federal programs provide such funding, however, according to the state Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Read more The budget bill, however, actually reads… Under current law, DOT administers a Rail Passenger Route Development Program to, in part, fund capital costs related to Amtrak service extension routes or other rail service routes between Milwaukee and Madison and between Milwaukee and Green Bay. This bill expands the program to include routes between Chicago and Milwaukee and between Madison and La Crosse. The bill also increases general obligation bonding authority for the program from $50,000,000 to $82,000,000. Under current law, DOT may contract up to $44,500,000 in public debt for the acquisition and improvement of rail property. This bill increases the limit to $66,500,000. So that money could ultimately be used elsewhere. I’m happy that a compromise could be reached, however, it’s sad to see the KRM line get beat into the ground.

Plale召回行动开始
一群南部的政治活动人士能够团结起来，获得13212个签名，迫使参议员杰夫·普莱(Jeff Plale)进行罢免选举吗?众议员理查兹说，他对此表示怀疑。众议员Josh Zepnick说:“这件事不会有结果。”“这些人太懒了!他们在报纸上登广告，让人们来签署一份召回请愿书。谁来做这件事?”真的足够了。为了赢得选举，你必须挨家挨户地敲门，在窗户上贴标语，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，也绝对没有这方面的证据。但这并没有阻止普莱打印数千份足球赛程，并随时分发出去。 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 […]

艺术品商入狱
别给伊利诺斯州诺斯布鲁克的肯尼迪美术公司打电话了。不要试图留言，因为语音信箱已经满了。当然，原因很容易理解——根据监狱发言人的说法，自5月7日以来，艺术商人詹姆斯·肯尼迪(James F. Kennedy)一直被关押在密尔沃基县监狱，不得保释，看起来他至少要在那里待到5月18日的听证会。(根据威斯康星州巡回法院的资料，肯尼迪的犯罪发生在5月10日。)根据法令976.03(13)，他被指控犯有重罪，“引渡-在征用前逮捕。”密尔沃基世界网站两周前告诉你，有个人试图在密尔沃基地区兜售毕加索的赝品。尽管肯尼迪被另一份与此无关的州外逮捕令拘留，但他就是那个试图在我们的社区里兜售假货的人。显然，警方并没有足够的证据来指控他犯罪——仅仅拥有假艺术品并不构成犯罪，他们说，也没有足够的证据表明他曾试图出售这些艺术品——肯尼迪的面包车和大约300件据称是赝品的艺术品一起被查获。他在密尔沃基街被捕，来自伊利诺伊州的诺斯布鲁克。肯尼迪是否是赝品的作者值得怀疑，他很可能是一个更大的艺术诈骗团伙中的一员。 So, just to remind you once again, if you have purchased any “Picasso” drawings in the last couple of weeks, contact a reputable art dealer or law enforcement authorities. Kennedy was born on May 17, 1957, so it looks like he will be spending his birthday in jail. Concordia Gets Bush President George W. Bush visited the Ozaukee County megalopolis of Mequon Thursday to deliver the commencement address at Concordia University at the Lutheran school’s very secure lakeside campus. Milwaukeeworld correspondent Patrick C. Horne, a Mequon resident, was at the intersection of Port Washington Road and Highland Road where Bush supporters and detractors hoped the presidential motorcade would pass. Of course, it didn’t, since the president’s motorcade traveled along Lake Shore Drive, far removed from the supporters, detractors, and reality. “We’ve got protestors on one side and the republicans on the other side,” Horne said via cellular telephone while awaiting the motorcade’s non-arrival. “We’ve got TV people on the other side, we’ve got Secret Service, we’ve got Germantown, Milwaukee, Ozaukee County, all sorts of people, all sorts of squads, all sorts of everything. Now, the mystery is which way he’s going to come in. I hope they take our President on LSD.” [Editor’s note: LSD is Mequon slang for Lakeshore Drive.] According to Horne, there was a good deal of “ranting and raving back and forth” between the President’s supporters and detractors. “’Give him four more years.’ ‘No, give him five more months,’” they chanted, he said. “Lot of Republicans,” Horne said. “’Oh! I forgot my flag!’ ‘Oh! Don’t they have anything better to do […]

首届
当汤姆·巴雷特就任市长时，马文·普拉特并没有与群众站在一起，媒体对他的这种蔑视进行了大量报道。然而，就在法官路易斯·巴特勒主持新市长宣誓就职后，巴雷特的第一个评论是赞扬普拉特，前代理市长确实站起来鞠躬。典礼于4月20日在市政厅外举行，当时密尔沃基的春天天气非常糟糕。那么，是哪个白痴想出这个主意的?克里斯·马丁塞克(Kris Martinsek)承认:“我是那个想把它放在外面的白痴。”毕竟，总统是在一月份在户外举行的。然而，华盛顿的一月并不像密尔沃基的四月那样令人不快。舞台设在威尔斯街，面朝东。舞台上坐着密尔沃基的新领导人，包括市长、市议会、审计长、司库、市检察官、市书记员和市法官。他们的家人坐在外面的街道上，在弗兰克·p·蔡德勒市政大楼旁边的公园里。 Frank P. Zeidler was there himself, sandwiched between Marvin Pratt and Senator Herb Kohl. Kohl was dressed as he always is around here. He wore a shirt, a tie, a Milwaukee Bucks cap and a windbreaker. Except for the tie, he pretty much looked like the guy who harvests aluminum cans from my recycling bin. If he tried to walk on to the floor of the United States Senate in that getup, the sergeant-at-arms would toss him out. But this is Milwaukee, the “come as you are” capital of America, and he fit right in. Barrett has made a list of 18 things he wants to accomplish in his first hundred days in office. I don’t know if reducing the police overtime budget is one of them, but the men in blue were certainly racking up the hours during the interminable ceremony. The aldermen were sworn in sequentially according to district. Each alderman then gave a little speech. The last district, the 15th, is occupied by Willie Hines, who is now the Common Council president. He then gave a big speech. He began by saying, “my ascent to the Council Presidency is not a compromise or consolation prize for the African-American community.” This was an effective way to defuse speculation that his election was a compromise or consolation prize, and was a rather sharp thing to do. Hines also insisted that corruption will not taint his council. (We’ll check back on that in four years.) His delivery was generally quite good, and had a hint of religious fervor to it. Moments earlier, he did have a slip up. When Valarie Hill was about to be sworn in as municipal judge, Hines said, “The City Clerk will now come to the altar – er, the podium – to take the oath.” Also, when Hines introduced the new mayor he called him “Mayor Marvin Pratt – er, Mayor Barrett.” These things happen.

有四分之一爱尔兰血统的犹太法官
上周五，州长詹姆斯·e·道尔(James E. Doyle)在莫的爱尔兰酒吧(Mo’s Irish Pub)对大约75人说，“作为州长，我可以做很多好事。我有权任命法官作为一名律师和法官的儿子，我很认真地对待这件事。”州长对法官有什么要求?-到目前为止，他已经任命了其中的6人-“我有一个非常非常优秀的人的名单。我可以从帽子里挑出来。但我看重的是智慧、公平和对人的理解。而且，坦率地说，也需要一些非常必要的多样性。”多伊尔去年任命格伦·山博(Glenn Yamahiro)为密尔沃基县巡回法院法官时，就很好地体现了多样性。Yamahiro曾是公设辩护律师、私人执业律师和精神失常学生的老师，也是威斯康星州第一位担任律师的亚裔美国人。 He is that, and more, the crowd, gathered for a fundraiser, was to learn. Yamahiro told the crowd that he was proud to be “the first [judicial] appointee by a democratic governor in almost 20 years.” Yamahiro is running for a full term against former Judge Robert Crawford, whose antics on the bench in the past cost him his seat to Judge Louis Butler, who was present, as were such other judges as Jean DiMotto, Ted Wedemeyer, Tom Donegan, Paul Wall and judge wannabees like Audrey Skwierawski. Attorneys including the venerable Dominic Frinzi and Mark Thomsen popped in for the gig. Yamahiro has already proven himself to be one of the more amusing speakers on the bench, and among politicians generally. “I told the governor at the time of my appointment that any opponent I would get would be buried at the election. “Now we have to come through on that promise,” he said, to the general assent of the assembled, not eager for a return of the goofy Crawford. Yamahiro rubbed it in: “If it was an election of the informed, we wouldn’t need this gathering,” he said. Do not think that Yamahiro tried to coast by solely on the merits of his wit and the novelty of his Asian background. “I am the first Asian-American judge in Wisconsin, but I did have a grandma in Iowa, born about 100 years ago. Her name was Morrissey. So I have 25 percent Irish blood, and I am happy to be in Mo’s Irish Pub with the Guinness flowing.” The crowd really liked this intercultural news, and I talked to Deja Vishny, a public defender with a really cool name – and yet another story. “I’m Glenn’s wife,” she said. The couple has one child, who attends a Jewish elementary school. “I’m Jewish,” she explained. “So is Glenn,” she added. Observations From the Governor On the Legislature You get the feeling from Governor Jim Doyle that the legislature is acting like a pesky housefly that he has to keep swatting at.

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 […]
