It was deplorable. <br /><br />Additionally, Clarke has returned a budget surplus nearly every year he's been in office.<br /><br />And yes, I also realize that the deputy sheriff's union has sued him multiple times for anything and everything just to try and take him down. But yet it's Clarke who's been fighting to maintain his ranks and retain deputies. <br /><br />Clarke has seen this attempted power grab by Abele but yet others are blind to it (until it's too late).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-76119194713299498182013-02-25T17:43:01.482-06:002013-02-25T17:43:01.482-06:00Romper Bomper Stomper Boo, tell me tell me tell me...Romper Bomper Stomper Boo, tell me tell me tell me do....Magic Mirror tell me today did all my friends have fun at play?<br /><br />(it just needed to be said)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-44133538790007620192013-02-25T12:44:16.138-06:002013-02-25T12:44:16.138-06:00Dan, off topic, but you clearly have access to the...Dan, off topic, but you clearly have access to the County Exec's people. As you know, this is the 100th anniversary of Rosa Parks' birth. Perhaps an effective and subtle way to hold Sheriff Clarke accountable is to invite the author of the new Rosa Parks biography: "The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks<br />A new scholarly biography examines the life Rosa Parks – the icon America embraced yet never really knew."<br /><br />http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/Book-Reviews/2013/0130/The-Rebellious-Life-of-Mrs.-Rosa-Parks<br /><br />It's currently #34 on the NYT's Best Seller list. <br /><br />Ms. Parks' life is all about vigorous, non-violent, civil disobedience played out over the importance of PUBLIC transit. <br /><br />Whether it's a more expensive in-person invitation, in cooperation with the City, Marquette and UWM (Maybe the JS wants to get involved?) or maybe it's just a video-conference?John Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-42180620457626849492013-02-25T12:36:21.762-06:002013-02-25T12:36:21.762-06:00Once again Dan Cody has selective memory.

"@BrendanConway<br />@cianciola As long as Clay Matthews is playing you can consider him Miss Wisconsin. #LongLocks" <br /><br />Brendan's account proudly states that he's the County Exec's spokesman. Like it or not, anyone interested in Milwaukee County HAS TO follow his, pro-CHICAGO sports tweets. I'm sure Mark Attanasio's people love following an EMPLOYEE of the MILWAUKEE County Exec who so proudly on his Twitter account displays his loyalty to the CHICAGO White Sox. #unprofessional. Brendan's PAID to be an ambassador for MILWAUKEE County. If he wants to Tweet about his love for CHICAGO sports, he should do it under a handle that doesn't connect to his JOB working for the MILWAUKEE County Exec.

Criticism is fair, but you should be leading the way in showing respect for his "office." <br /><br />Does the County Exec have any polling data on how the "pie fight" is playing with "low information" voters?<br /><br />Why did the County Exec only get interested in "reform," AFTER the Board refused to waive the residency requirement for Brian Taffora?<br /><br />Then Brian lands at the County Exec's firm: "Taffora and Abele reunited at CSA Commercial"<br /><br />http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/blog/real_estate/2013/01/taffora-and-abele-reunited-at-csa.html<br /><br />Looks to me like the County Exec was "socializing" Brian's salary onto the taxpayers.
