Cory Payne must realize our community in Waukesha will become subordinate to any other provider of water than ourselves. Just look at what's now happening to New Berlin. Is this what the Waukesha Common Council wants for Waukesha?   more ›

Whatever Roger's role was in the events that led to the vandalism of Megan's car, well, just that fact that he never explained himself really is troublesome. He oughtta choose better friends than the mayor and Lynn.   more ›

"None of the other options were less than the great lakes." The original matrix submitted to the DNR showed local options that were less than the Oak Creek option. The application was completely dependent on Milwaukee as the source and since Oak Creek is the chosen provider, the application may not comply with the compact in yet another one of the requirements. With the submission of the …   more ›

If the Great Lakes option for Waukesha is the best answer, why did the Common Council rush a severely flawed application to the DNR in the first place and then cry wolf about a supposed timeline to get the application approved by 7 other states? Milwaukee continues to point out issues within the application of non-compliance with the Great Lakes Compact after 3 years and we're still approving …   more ›

Cities should embrace the ability to manage funds on a …   more ›

Thousands of dollars for a bike study? Really? John Holst is correct, and is the only one who is raising the common sense questions. We can do a better job investing our tax dollars. My vote will be for John Holst.   more ›
