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 […]
