I have lived in Janesville 32 of my 33 years. The only positive thing I new about Beloit as a kid was riverfest. Now as an adult I can say Beloit is not bad. They have riverfest, Snapers, and the BIFF(?). They also have some good places to eat and good local stores like Beloit Matress Co. With that said I still only go to Beloit a few times a year. I will agree that Janesville spends too much time on the negative. We also listen too much to the crap that Milton has to say about us. The Only thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Beloit is one time I was in Ohare airport coming back from a trip overseas. I started talking to a nice older couple while waiting for the bus. We had a nice talk until the foundout I was from Janesville. They were from Beloit and ended the talk by getting up and leaving. So I guess Janesville is not home to all the snobs.

How is the shortage the governments fault? Who makes the vaccine? The private sector not the government.

I do everything to avoid Mt. Zion & E. Milwaukee. Try to turn east on to Milwaukee infront of the Stop & Go. You got cars coming from the clinic in front of you. Two lanes to cross coming from the east that trafic never stops due to people turning off of Wright Rd. & the two lanes going west on Milwaukee.

The landfill need to stay in city run hands. The last thing I want to do is start supporting corp. and shareholder earning with my money. The city should run at the cost of operation not that plus a profit for shareholders. People think services will be cheaper if run by private industry. Sorry that will not be the case.
On Wis. investment board sets aside $1.7M for bonuses

imatim2- True the initial investment that is part of the employees wages and benefits did come from tax revenue. The money was then put into a large portfolio and invested into the stock market. The money paid in bonuses to the managers is out of profits from the investment they manage not general tax revenue. The people paying the bonus are the people invested in the WRS.

This is not all Tax money. As I understand it is paid for gains on the employee invested retierment fund. Not out of the State budget. Don't blame Liberal Dem's. This is pure capitalism. They get paid just like anyother fund manager.

I guess I'm like steve. When I was younger I lived football. I played YMCA to high school. Started fantasy leagues and would not think of missing any game. Got the stupid stock share for the Packers. Have a peice of Camp Randall turf. We have season tickets to the Badger. I would do have to listen to the pregame show, goto the game, post game show and watch the game again on PBS at night.
Now, I still love football but its just not that big of a part of my life. We still have our Badger tickets but lucky if we make it to 3 game a year. And even then I think of all the other things I should be doing. I might catch a half of a Packers game if I am not at work. I guess one day I figured out whether or not millionaires win or loss at a game I still have to goto work the next day. I still enjoy it but I guess the older I get I feal there are more meaningful things to do with my time.
