The Court House

While the rest of country is bailing out I can't believe we are going ahead with the courthouse building. This county has lost its mind considering the current economy. If we are going ahead I think it is time we invited the Hochunck Tribe back and make the current court house into a casino. Revenue would not be a problem for the city any more and all the businesses would benefit year round.

Harvest Fest

I would love to know how people think Harvest Weekend was. What did you like, what can be improved. Were there enough bathrooms? Should the band be in the intersection of downtown or at the remodeled band shell? Since it is a Harvest Fest shouldn't the people selling produce and flowers be in front of the courthouse? Maybe all the food vendors should all be in one park? Or spread all over?

The School

Yikes. It looks like we need some room for the school issues. Here it is. I am almost tempted to start its own blog. If Ken Bates reads this, as I suspect he does he should probably start a blog for the school. It could be linked in here very easily. Mostly I have found open forums like a blog make certain people uncomfortable. They just want all of you "voices" to go away. Including me quite often.

Open Forum

I like the idea of who ever came up with the Open Forum idea. Makes it a little easier. If there is a topic you would like to discuss and I don't cover it as much as you would like go to the Open Forum Topic. When you enter a comment just try to make it clear for the next person what you are discussing by putting a topic in Caps. For instance: THE SCHOOL BOARD and then just say what you wish. Lets see how that works out for people. Thanks for a good idea. I think.

Legitimate Complaint

The person who complained about not being able to post on subjects they would like to discuss makes a very good point I think. Sometimes I don't have inclination or time or enough information on a subject. I try but ....Anyway if someone is interested in starting their own blog you can go to google and under blogs you can start your own blog. I think the more the merrier.

Winn Collins Wins

It looks like incumbent DA Winn Collins will continue to be the DA for Green Lake county. He was running in the primary against Ceman on the Republican ticket and he won last night.

District Attorney Race September 9

The Green Lake County District Attorney Race is Tuesday Sep. 9. It is a primary race and most of the people running are unopposed. (Balweg, Petri, etc.) but the race for DA is going to be determined in the primary so voting for this office will be important. Collins and Ceman are both running on the Republican Ticket so the winner will essentially be the DA. Get out and at least vote for the District Attorney.
