This shows what can happen when someone mixes vision with money. Thank you Ken Hendricks; another job well done!
On Feingold questions Afghanistan military strategy

It's about time someone starts questioning our president who campaigned on ending the war in Iraq, only to just transfer the war to Afganistan. That's not ending our military involvement in the middle east, it's just transferring the battle fields! By the end of this year will have almost 80,000 troops there.
My son-in-law did two tours in Iraq and just got deployed to Afganistan last week. We need to have a communicated national policy for military involvement in the middle east or get our children the hell out of there!!!

I just hope he had to surrender his weapons, for her sake and his! I don't know of anyone who would want their stupid actions plastered all over the paper and comments, give the family a break and let the courts sort it out; just don't let him keep his weapons until then.

I rest my case, no one wants to talk about ideas/solutions, just problems and complaints. If Janesville is ever going to right itself we must start the discussion on solutions! Anyone have any???
The Gazette will only discuss the status quo because no matter how much it hurts, it sells; even if they just dumped several employees themselves that had decades invested in their profession.
If you're not willing to change the conversation you won't find a pathway out of your status quo!

The Janesville Project
Making Alternative Energy Research And Production A National Priority
The Janesville Project
Investment- $10 Billion Over 5 Years
Investment Source- Federal, State, County & Private Industry Funds
Purpose- To bring new alternative energy sources into production, including vehicle propulsion, household wind & solar applications, high capacity storage devices, etc. A cooperative effort between industry, government and educational/research institutions to construct a clearinghouse for alternative energy research, development and production.
First Project- Create a non-fossil fuel propulsion engine to replace mid-size to large diesel engines within 3 years and for autos in 5 years, including retrofit engines for current vehicles. In 4 years Janesville would be producing the first GM AE mid-duty truck on the current truck line.
Research & Development- The brightest scientists, engineers, & support staff from around the world would relocate to the Janesville area and it would become the international center for alternative energy development.
Manufacturing- Just as UW Research Park in Madison was built around the visionary ingenuity of UW researchers, the Janesville area would become an incubator for manufacturing production facilities throughout the Stateline area and beyond.

Janesville lived for decades in a protective bubble, just like many other communities with a major employer. Well, the bubble has burst, who would have ever dreamed the GM plant would be sitting idle today?
People cling to the status quo hoping for something to come out of nothing and it isn't going to happen. It's time for the leadership in Janesville to reinvent Janesville and chasing after GM isn't going to bring positive results. There are other ideas out there and the people/money to make it happen, but if you don't have vision you won't see the possibilities. Ken Hendricks wouldn't have accepted the status quo and neither should the people of Janesville! It's time to move on and look for new, innovative ideas.

Jenna-
It pains my heart to agree, but Janesville is a lost community with little vision and little hope. A miracle is their ONLY hope! Right now ex-GM workers are still getting paid, can you imagine what it will be like when that runs out?

On Group takes offense to prayer vigil for soldier killed at Fort Hood
Posted on November 17 at 8:55 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
You would think just in a sense of public relations that this group would have passed this one by and stuck to Christmas displays and such. They have lowered themselves in the eyes of MOST people to the level of the Christian zealots who protest at the funerals of soldiers killed in action. I truly respect their right to object, but come on, have some desency in your life to recognize what situation warrants your objections.
