We've already got five declared candidates.<BR/><BR/>Finally, no smoke-filled room in Madison, even if such exists in that no smoking town, will have much impact on this race.

Choosing a candidate in a smoke filled room in Madison is very frightening.

It just seems screwy that someone could get paid full time wages to do part time jobs - and how could he could be effective at either one of them anyway - Turner has been washout as a state rep. for Racine anyway. What has brought to Racine? Nothing that I can see. It sounds like you don't mind the idea of a part time mayor and part time state rep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-89619730171088315592009-01-29T12:46:00.000-06:002009-01-29T12:46:00.000-06:00Anon 12:32: "...what kind of crap is this?"Blogger...Anon 12:32: "...what kind of crap is this?"<BR/><BR/>Blogger Fred kinda crap. Mason, Lehman and Turner each have just one vote in any election for mayor. They're each free to choose whether to run or not, but the ultimate decision is up to the voters. Mason has already decided not to run; Turner is said to be considering it; Lehman's been mum on the subject, far as I know, but I'd be surprised to see him join the pack. If one of 'em does run, he'll have plenty of company.<BR/><BR/>As for the two salaries: Yes, a legislator can simultaneously be an Alderman or Mayor.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542901376907047448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-10181315621398278072009-01-29T12:32:00.000-06:002009-01-29T12:32:00.000-06:00Hey, you people whould check this out: realdebatew...Hey, you people whould check this out: realdebatewisconsin.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>seems there is a post there about Rob Turner getting chosen to run from Madison for this mayor - AND HE'S GOING TO KEEP BOTH JOBS - what kind of crap is this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-13256113847716607122009-01-29T10:19:00.000-06:002009-01-29T10:19:00.000-06:00"4.

People should balance the positive with the negative and be respectful.<BR/><BR/>I do think it is appropriate for candidates to express differences with their opponents. In the 2003 mayoral election, there was none of this (everyone was too nice) and I don't feel the voters had an informed choice.<BR/><BR/>That said, it has to be done with respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-20567570713218497122009-01-29T07:32:00.000-06:002009-01-29T07:32:00.000-06:00Sorry but this is a joke.

I really love #5 - the library has computers with Internet access to look at job boards, plus unemployed folks have to go to a half day of training at the Workforce Development Center to learn how best to look for jobs. Should there be a multi-million dollar program to employ a staff to scan the Internet to find job opportunities then walk each one to an unemployed person's door?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-53002250362131478572009-01-29T07:08:00.000-06:002009-01-29T07:08:00.000-06:00Thanks, Ron, for your important comments.
