Fallone能打败Roggensack吗?
帕特·罗根萨克(Pat Roggensack)领导着最高法院的保守派阵营，可能是最高法院最有影响力的法官。Ed Fallone将她归咎于一个“功能失调的法庭”。

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 […]

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 […]

利兹·切尼将在这里开设布什-切尼办公室
如果你在梅菲尔星期一之前到，你可以顺便去参加布什-切尼2004年威斯康星州总部的盛大开幕式，地址是沃瓦托萨梅菲尔北路2222号。这个开幕式对媒体开放，利兹·切尼将接受采访。该活动将在中午举行，包括众议员Leah Vukmir，众议员Mark Honadel，众议员Curt Gielow和县行政长官Scott Walker等其他政要。如果你住在附近，想做点别的事情，那就去100号高速公路和西北大街的拐角处，上午11点半，威斯康星州公民行动会在那里举办“抨击布什”活动。如果你从未像Warshafsky律师事务所那样聘请Gary George为律师，那么你的运气“暂时”不好。这位名誉扫地的前州参议员的执照在4月1日被威斯康辛州最高法院书记员科妮莉亚·g·克拉克(Cornelia G. Clark)于2004年3月8日下令暂时吊销。克拉克根据律师监管办公室的一项动议采取行动，“寻求暂时吊销加里·r·乔治律师在威斯康星州的执业执照。”这项动议的依据是乔治律师2004年1月22日在威斯康辛州东区联邦地方法院对一项阴谋罪的认罪。”律师对重罪指控认罪并不常见——他们通常会进行抗争，在加里要去的地方，也就是联邦监狱，律师执照也没什么用。首先，竞争会很激烈。 Paul Henningsen’s already got most of the business locked up by now, one would imagine. Along with George’s demise we lose another annoyance – we shall no longer see or hear Gary George advertisements for the Warshafsky Law Firm. George taped his advertisements in August, 2000, back when the century was new and George’s integrity was unblemished. (We were a simpler people then.) Back then I asked the law firm about the ads. “Are they designed to help George in his reelection campaign?” The Warshafsky spokesperson replied, “It has no connection to the campaign. He just brings us a lot of business.” Election Night Approaches We are down to the final hours in our Mayoral election, with the result said to be a tossup. Much will be dependent on voter turnout, which itself can depend on things like the weather. The primary election had the added allure of a presidential primary to possibly juice the vote. On the other hand, it is possible that the lack of a republican presidential race kept Milwaukee republicans at home in February, and that they will come out to vote Tuesday, if there are enough of them to count. Then we have the white people for Pratt, and the black people for Barrett contingency. I should imagine they exist in roughly the same, small numbers. Among them – former candidates Frank Cumberbatch and Leon Todd have endorsed Barrett. Sandy Folaron and Vince Bobot have […]

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 […]
