Sidewalks in Freeport tell story of poor maintenance | Letter

Three months ago we were on vacation visiting Freeport, my old home town and the only thing we were impressed with was seeing our old friends. It’s seemed that the town’s name Freeport was still living up to its name, a Free Port as those who have little, have been welcomed to stay. As I walked about town, which was mostly the west side where we lived, it was readily obvious that properties were not at all being well maintained by their owners. If only I could display in this letter some of the sad pictures I took on those walks. I understand in yesterday’s, today’s, and the future world, nearly everything is about money. Whether it’s a person or a city. The minor but unsightly issue I saw and am referring to here is property maintenance. In most cases it takes money, but in some instances it only takes some care. Specifically my reference here is regarding sidewalk maintenance, or lack there of. Green sidewalks are easy to find with the grass vegetation grown out from side to side.

Repealing Act 10: Money Machine Would Restart, Putting Teachers Unions Back on Both Sides of Bargaining Table

Repealing Act 10 would bring back more than bargaining. Act 10 ended a system in which school districts pulled union dues straight from teachers’ paychecks, union contracts helped a health insurer WEAC founded cover about two-thirds of Wisconsin school districts, and taxpayers paid 99.2% of state retirement system contributions in 2010. Once districts could shop, Appleton cut $3.1 million from its health insurance bill with the same insurer and the same coverage. WEAC’s revenue fell about 74% in the seven years after paying dues became a choice. Now WEAC, whose PAC gave Gov.-elect David Crowley $86,000, says it is “ready to reclaim our rightful place at the bargaining table.” Crowley has promised to repeal Act 10 in full.
