KRM commuter rail was the lead topic Tuesday during Mayor John Dickert's first meeting with the Young Professionals of Racine.Dickert met with 25 YPR members at the Radisson hotel. Here's some notes on the forum:
* No surprise, Dickert came out strong in support of commuter rail and regional bus transit. He said he had no problem with government supporting trains and buses because it's government that pays for roads. The state is spending $1 billion adding another lane to I-94, and Racine won't get much benefit from it. Buses and KRM will cost less than that, and benefit Racine more.
* But YPR member Chris Terry said he didn't believe transit alone would solve Racine's problems. The city needs to become more aggressive in attracting businesses with tax benefits and other incentives, he said.
* One YPR member said Racine needed KRM to connect to its neighbors. "We're getting cut off from the rest of the world," she said. "We're going to be a ghost town."
* Talk about KRM, high-speed rail and buses took up easily more than half of the forum.
* Dickert said he's working to create a 10-year parks plan for the city. Park land along the Root River, which Dickert called on the "longest continuous parks" in the country, will be a focus of the plan.
* The city is re-writing its housing ordinances to discourage bad landlords and bad tenants tenants, Dickert said. He also wants the city involved in remodeling more homes. Right now, Dickert said, the city spends $1 million remodeling 3-4 homes a year. He wants to renovate 30-40 homes a year, without spending much more money.
Krystyna Sarrazin, executive director of YPR, introduces Mayor John Dickert Tuesday.* Dickert said his No. 1 priority is creating jobs. He pointed out there's about 10,000 adults out of work in the city right now.
* The city is vetting every developer interested in Racine, Dickert said. Over the last five year, he said, the city took in any developer and wound up with too much low-income housing. He's trying to even out types of developments that are coming into Racine.
* Dickert said he doesn't hold grudges. He shared a story about a disagreement with an alderman over how City Administrator Tom Friedel was hired. The alderman, who opposed aspects of Friedel's hiring, assumed he was on Dickert's bad side. Dickert said he assured the alderman he wasn't. "I'm OK with disagreement," Dickert said.
* Speaking cryptically, Dickert told the YPR members there's a lot going on. "More than you know," he said.
The crowd at YPR's forum with Mayor Dickert.
We do need jobs. Jobs should be the priority.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously considering moving because of these teen and young adults in Racine. They have terrible manners and no respect. They loudly swear and talk about adult subjects and if you so much as glance at them they call you every name in the book. (that they haven't read)Then they threaten to beat you. I am now carrying a pipe in my car.
For the first time I am considering giving donations to planned parenthood. I think a lot of these disrespectful kids have gang ties. We need to get some real tough anti-gang laws.
We also need to hold tennants responsible for their behavior. I am bored with the lets go after the landlord response. These wack jobs just move a block over. We are never going to get them out of Racine if they themselves are not made responsible.
If there weren't landlords who rented to problem tenants, the problem tenants would have to live somewhere else.
ReplyDeletewas Dickert asked about the store controversy?
ReplyDeleteLoL @ 15 people, they don't even look "young".
ReplyDeletePander on !
Yes, let's kill people through abortion by supporting Planned Parenthood because there are dumb ass parents out there who aren't home and can't teach their kids manners and decent behavior.
ReplyDeleteHow decent of you.
His priority should be helping existing business and getting more here. There is nothing here for people to come for!
ReplyDeleteThere were at least 25 people -- busy professionals sometimes need to come and go -- so no, not everyone might have been seen in this picture.
ReplyDeleteThis event was sponsored by YPR and open to the public. YPR reflects a diverse range of ages and backgrounds. The people that attended care about this community and the Mayor cares enough to listen.
The biggest joke about YPR is the amount of OLD professionals in it.
ReplyDeleteHow much is the POst being paid by Transit Now
ReplyDeleteMan some bloggers are negative. To 11:41 AM, I am sure that the individuals pictures are not the ones threatening you. Nice job of taking the word young and creating an opportunity to bash anyone under the age of 30. Attitudes like yours are one of the reasons why intelligent young professionals considering moving away.
ReplyDeleteTo 12:39 PM and 1:58 PM, the organization is for young PROFESSIONALS. Just because people dress cleanly and aren't wearing baggy clothes does not make them old. Find out more about the organization before you slam the whole group.
I know that I am fighting a losing battle, but I really think people in this city should get off their high horse and get out of their basements. Don't make Racine a self-fulfiling prophecy due to your negativity.
Anon 2:10 Not a penny.
ReplyDeleteLook, we just cover the news; don't shoot the messenger because you disagree with something.
It seems many members of YPR decided to stay in their basements.
ReplyDeleteOK...This is EXACTLY what this city DOES NOT NEED! MORE TALKING! Talk, talk, talk and no action! Stop talking and start doing, plain and simple!
ReplyDeleteIs the city supporting the Racine Franchise Expo we saw listed in the post yesterday? I think The Franchise Expo would do better if they moved to Kenosha or Milwaukee. At least those communities actually encourage growth in their communities. I can't imagine why the organizers would want to encourage growth here. New developers always get shot down.
ReplyDeleteAs per usual, way to keep it classy folks. You should be proud.
ReplyDeleteKRM brings more taxes I am sure that the more taxes we have the more jobs will show up.
ReplyDeleteI want to know why the city council and the Mayor have waged war against the miinority community by discriminatory practices that are blatant. I believe the Mayor needs to sit down with the Black community as well because there is no diversity in YPR. Go figure typical Racine!!
ReplyDeleteWhat does a problem tenant look like? Should a landlord deny an apartment even though the tenant passes credit and background checks. That would be discrimination.
ReplyDeleteJust so you are aware, a criminal jerk does not apply for an apartment. Their auntie or girlfriend does.
The young professionals is a great group. I think the comments are for the mayor. People who are disrespectful with bad manners do not join groups like YPR.
ReplyDeleteI live in the city fix up my area and now all the ghetto thugs want to walk through it acting ghetto. They don't want to walk near where they live.
Easy concepts like don't litter, swear loudly, expose yourself, talk about sex or other vulgar activities is lost on them. Actually they don't talk they yell loudly in ghetto slang.
I don't want to live around people like this. What can you do but move?
Wake up people. Ask yourself why any company would risk a new major investment to set up shop with all the gvernment and labor constraints in place...practically anywhere in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThink in terms of creating your own opportunities. What needs doing? What are people willing to pay for?
Complaining and waiting for jobs is not going to bring them.
Seriously, the city spends $1 Million a year renovating 3-4 houses? That can't be right. If it is, that is outrageous and a very good reason for city government not be involved with rehabbing houses.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the mayor stand on the West Racine development issue?
Anon 9:17, you are absolutely right. Why would a business come here when they know that the business climate is not good (taxes), the political climate will always defer to more and higher taxces and fees, AND any new company will be on the hook for all of the government contracts, salaries/benefits and all the other cash outlays that will only increase?
ReplyDelete. . . quite an irony that they pay economic developers hand over fist with taxpayer money to try to get prospective businesses to ignore things like the sums paid to economic developers.
ReplyDelete1:15
ReplyDeleteHe is a Realtor what do YOU think?
Green Space = Low Income Housing
Public Cather Space = Gas Station
We are wasting money on these developers and planning positions. Who needs them? What have they done? Unemployment has doubled. Maybe if they were unemployed they would see a greater urgency to bringing in jobs.
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:33, I'm a landlord. Are you? Have you ever put an apartment up for rent and then seen the garbage that crawls out of the cracks to rent it? The chances of getting a renter that isn't from the local scum pond is about 1 in 500. Thanks to local government, that's about all that's left in Racine. Gangbangers, crackheads, white trash and you-know-whats are the vast majority of renters in this town. When I get a call from the police about a problem at my building I have to strap on a pistol before considering entering the place.
ReplyDeleteThese scumball renters talk a really good story and come on so nice and sweet with, "It wasn't my fault that I got evicted before. I had a broken arm and couldn't work, or I lost my job in a cut-back..." or some other excuse. These scumbags then get in and do a 180 and create every problem in the book. They make landlords want to get out of the business because they far outnumber the good renters, who seem to be leaving Racine in droves, thank you city council.
It is time to hold the tenant responsible for their actions and not the landlord. We aren't their keepers! Half the problem rests with the police department. They rarely arrest the tenants for their criminal activity (I've seen that first hand time and time again), and don't write enough citations for loud noise or disturbing the peace.
The last thing we need is more private-sector propaganda. Capitalism caused our problems--socialism will solve them.
ReplyDelete10:07
ReplyDeleteJust like Cuba or Russia!
Anon 9:32 --
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm a little slow, but I have no idea what you meant by the "you-know-whats". Please clarify.

ReplyDeleteHey guys we would like to be versed things far cardsharing, Is that ok with you? Here is a few of our questions from us all.
ReplyDeleteIndex card sharing is a method by means of which affluent receivers purchase contemporary access to a even a score telly network, using in unison legal conditional access subscription card. Typically, the legitimate prankster is devoted to to a offensive computer or Dreambox which is connected to the Internet, and is configured to afford the legitimately decrypted manage brief conversation to other receivers who beg the information. This decrypted dominate interview is then used to decode an encrypted conditional access mending, as albeit each other receiver were using its own cost card.
As technology has made the assurance of smartcards in conditional access systems increasing, playing-card sharing has behoove a more accepted method of privateer decryption. Much of the development of be open sharing devices and software has charmed standing in Europe where state boundaries fantasies that retirement community users are clever to draw satellite television signals from innumerable countries but are not able to legally subscribe to them well-earned to licensing restrictions on broadcasters.
Because the to the fullest of the control information is so insignificant (many times 16 bytes), childbirth of the master words over with wide courtyard networks to uncountable particular harden surpass boxes is indubitably credible on a home base internet connection. This has sparked mistaken the formation of sharing network groups, in which users can access the classify next to sharing their subscription cards with the coterie, and in take off, being adept of receiving the channels which all users' cards can decrypt, as granting the operator owned every single obligation card. Other networks be struck by also been created, whereby one server has multiple legal obligation cards connected to it. Access to this server is then restricted to those who return the server's possessor their own subscription fee.
Another smoke an eye to anniversary card sharing has be proper unmistakable as Europe migrates from analog to digital TV. As the tv signal turns digital, a digital establish apogee box is needed with a view each TV in the household. Each set up peak thwack normally needs to eat its own smarting postcard in pronunciamento to be talented to decrypt stiff channels. Most pay-tv providers (but not all) volunteer additionally remittance cards to subscribers for a reduced honorarium compared to the actual maiden card. The auxiliary cards on the whole come with more restrictions than the initial condolence card, such as dependable channels excluded from being decrypted before any anniversary card except the (more priceless) elementary one. This routine is mostly dictated on the fulfilled providers (tv networks) and poses a problem from a consumer rights prospect, as the subscribers are essentially studied to paying after the in any case channels twice, whereas in the analog mankind the channels would be unlocked on every TV in the household with exclusively one fee.
