Senator Larson should spend time talking to his constituents rather than traveling around the State to help Shelly Moore out. 8/9 was a GREAT DAY in Wisconsin!!! Thank You to all the Union’s that spent MILLIONS of DOLLARS of their members money and poured it into Wisconsin!
Regarding the story about dogs being off their leashes. I have been dealing with this problem since we moved to SM in 2005. I live next to a parkway and you would not believe how many people think the parkway is their own private off-leash dog park. My neighbor is a cop in Greenfield and even her and her family can’t seem to leash their dog. I guess she feels she’s above the law somehow because she is in LE…who knows?
One point that wasn’t made is how the people who let their dogs run around without being on leashes never seem to see their dogs going poop. I want to get a loud speaker and shout at these selectively blind dog owners…pick up your dog’s poop. People can be so rude and inconsiderate…it really is incredible.
South Milwaukee property assessment went down, but unfortunately according to the letter that was sent out with the lower assessments our taxes will remind high. Our house declined in value by over $20000. I think it should have been asset even lower.
