I am pleased to read these overwhelmingly positive comments on Beloit. Many of us love the city and care about others in Beloit and in Janesville. To answer a far earlier question from the Milton person, no, I've really never heard anyone in Beloit talk about Rockford as a rival city. Different state, different size by a large amount. Most of us (and I'm just speaking of people I know) get our news from Madison and don't find Rockford stuff as relevant. Oh, and Steve, our city manager's name is Arft, not Arf. Thanks for writing this blog.

I enjoy living in Beloit. I've lived other places. The question posed by the author is about what you like about Beloit. One commentator can't read. I love all the things the College brings to Beloit. I love the way the riverside area has been improved and changed over the last 20 years. I enjoy our parks (not quite as numerous as Janesville, but not shabby). I have had good experiences with the schools and my fellow parents in the community. Like most Beloiters, we do most of our shopping in Janesville. Hope that is okay with the earlier commentator. I wouldn't want to leave a stain on Janesville by spending my money there if he disapproves of the clean, attractive armpit of a neighborhood I must live in.

Man, that Mike Sheridan is a great guy. Been a real boon to the people of Janesville. Take a look around.

Janesberg wants more blogs about teacher pay freezes and curb and gutter installation...please let my vote in favor of light-hearted blogs like this cancel out the naysayers.

Let's see if Doyle or Gassman have any help for Rock County. I hear that stimulus money is creating jobs in Madison, where unemployment is at the lowest level in the state. We wither on the vine down here. If Doyle has 10 things on his to-do list, the first 9 should be dealing with job creation.

Why does this guy get a forum for his propaganda? He hates his Medicare system, but wants to push it on those of us that already have health care. Oh, and 10's of thousands of people are employed by the health insurance industry. Lets put them under the nanny state too (sarcasm).

Regardless of political party, the bottom line for Janesville/Beloit is that Madison looks down on us and could care less if we starve economically. They see no problems with their little world, which is based on 3 industries (gov't, university, which is also gov't, and insurance/financial).

"Pavement Failure". What public relations genius came up with this government-speak for a hole or bump in the road?

Isn't it great that the area least affected by the recession (Madison/Dane County) got 8 times more stimulus money than Rock County? Doyle and Falk at work. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33498869/ns/...
