Then they had to pass a law that the private agency workers get paid as much as the state workers, to keep the turnover rate down. And that still hasn't worked.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-73751683633069111432008-12-04T08:05:00.000-06:002008-12-04T08:05:00.000-06:00Alberta Darling should be ashamed.She was the one ...Alberta Darling should be ashamed.She was the one who really pushed for the state to take over child welfare functions, claiming that state workers would do a far better job than (those awful) county workers and for less money. The state took it over, it almost immediately cost millions more to run and has been a bigger mess than ever.Gretchen Schuldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354557506635026880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-67446876666482758822008-12-03T23:37:00.000-06:002008-12-03T23:37:00.000-06:00Dan, Walker is running for governor, again. That ...Dan, <BR/><BR/>Walker is running for governor, again. That is no secret. I am actually surprised he did not try to take a swipe at Doyle. It would have been a legitimate, and not even a cheap shot. I guess it shows that he isn't too bright. Or maybe he recognizes that people would know (thanks in no small part to me) that he had voted for the Bureau to be born, and didn't lift a finger when it was shown to be going in the wrong direction.<BR/><BR/>But even if he weren't running, when stuff like this happens, it is not unusual for a local leader to express outrage, even if they have no control over the matter.<BR/><BR/>David Clarke does it all the time.<BR/><BR/>And I did not mention Barrett, because child welfare was never with the city. It is not a municipal function in any city in the state. It is the function of every county in the state, but Milwaukee, of course.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-29820462801190969732008-12-03T15:59:00.000-06:002008-12-03T15:59:00.000-06:00"as has been Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walk..."as has been Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker. Of course, I don't expect anything from Walker, who is too busy running for governor - again - and wouldn't want to alienate any potential campaign contributors by bad mouthing a private agency."<BR/>What a crock. You really do a disservice to yourself when you make cheap political shots at Walker, who has no clout in the matter.<BR/>Why not mention Barrett in whose city this happened and why not say more about Doyle who has the ulitimate authority in this matter.<BR/>You do a good job reporting this, more insightful than most, but you weaken your arguement tremndously when you take cheap political shots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
