On Businesses helping employees to become better health consumers

If all the results are not available to the employer how does he know about all those health issues that the employees were not aware of. FYI Hopefully it will not affect anyone but he forgot to mention that they snuck a drug test in while doing the blood work without anyone being aware of it.

What Mr. Becker is not saying is that not only is he trying to force Rock County employees to participate but he is trying to force the spouses to be included in it also. How many people want to go home and tell their wife that she has to go jog a couple of times a week/month so that you can keep your insurance costs lower. Then they tell you you have to go to the doctor to get your cholesterol(sic)and such checked but you have to pay for it plus another $15 that Rock County makes you pay for making a DR. appt. It may save the company some money but the employees end up paying more anyways.

On Correctional officer fired after sexual contact with inmate

It appeared that a pretty indepth investigation was done. He unfortunately let himself get into a situation which became unlawful and unethical. I'm sure he realizes this and has to suffer the consequences along with any others that this affects also. My understanding is that the camera's are working fine and when there is a problem it is usually user error.

On Orfordville police chief considering contract extension

There is no way that Footville should go back to paying Orfordville for non-existant services. There is enough bad blood between them now from other events that I doubt the Footville Village Board would even consider it.
The Sheriff's Dept. already has a office in Footville that they use and it seems to be working out well.

On City council still divided over Milwaukee Street bike tunnel

If we shut down the bike trail not only do we save the money for the tunnel project but it would save us from having to pay for upkeep/maint. on the trail. This in turn lessens the chance that anyone gets hurt from cars or from them falling off the bike.

On Poll: Obama leads McCain in Wisconsin

In my opinion I think Obama is still has yet to realize that as President of the United States, his loyalties are suppose to be to the United States also. Now he wants to make kissy faces with France, well so be it but I hope he picks up a white flag while he is there so he can wave it in Nov.

It doesn't bother me as long as the family is here legally and paying taxes. If not, give them a ticket to the nearest country where that language is spoken.

On Police target violators on Milton Avenue

Posted on July 17 at 1:29 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Most likely it only will last the month because operations like this are usually funded by grants which help cover the overtime incurred. Once the grant money is gone so is the extra enforcement. Actually I think those times are good, most of your violators on that road are actually adults who are in a hurry trying to get things done not the kids who are hanging out later at night.
