Hello......Knock, Knock.......Business 101

DIVORCE AGREEMENT

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:


We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years..


Sincerely,

John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

"Meet the Candidates Evening" on Thursday, March 19, 2009

We will be hosting a "Meet the Candidates Evening" on Thursday, March 19, 2009 at the Waterford Town Hall. The event will begin at 6:15 PM.

We are inviting the candidates for Town of Waterford Supervisor and the Waterford Graded School District Board (WGSD). After a brief introduction we will be give each of the three candidates for Town of Waterford Supervisor five minutes to speak to our group prior to getting to the WGSD candidates.

When we move on to the WGSD portion of the evening, each candidate will give an opening statement. The WGSD candidates will then be asked (on a rotating basis) a series of questions that were solicited from concerned taxpayers in the Waterford area.

The taxpayers of the Waterford area are looking for real leadership from our elected officials. We’re looking for leaders who value the education of our children and who recognize the importance of managing the delivery of that education in a fiscally responsible manner.

Please be sure to bring a friend or neighbor!!

Governor's Budget Calls For Hikes in Auto Insurance Premiums

When Wisconsin's budget is introduced, it often contains what we refer to as "non-fiscal policy" - items that are more legislatively - focused and have little to do with the budget, itself. In the last budget, Governor Doyle included 53 non-fiscal policy items including things like repealing the Qualified Economic Offer (QEO) for teachers, allowing UW Faculty to unionize, and gutting Truth-in-Sentencing provisions. Most of these items were removed by the Joint Finance Committee, due to a long-standing tradition that the committee return these policies back to the Legislature for full consideration.

The reason it's done in the first place, is to force legislators to vote for provisions they would not normally support because of the pressing statutory deadline that exists for passing the budget If these proposals were offered as standalone provisions for the whole Legislature to consider, many would likely die, as so many bills do every legislative session.

However, in this upcoming budget, Governor Doyle has been quite brazen in the non-fiscal policy items that he has decided to put forth. Though there are many, those of note include creating a domestic partner registry, repealing the QEO - a tool to help school districts hold down property taxes, attacking Milwaukee's School Choice program, and mandating the increase of auto insurance coverage minimums.

The increase in coverage amounts on auto insurance is particularly disturbing. The proposal calls for raising liability limits from $25,000 to $100,000 for each person, from $50,000 to $300,000 for each accident, and from $10,000 to $25,000 for property damage (Read the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story here). According to the Insurance Journal, this could raise premium costs anywhere from 33 to 43 percent.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2006, the average annual auto premium paid by Wisconsin citizens was $590. That means that the average driver will see an increase anywhere from $194 to $253 per year his insurance bill.

Unfortunately, while it has always been the policy of the Joint Finance Co-Chairs to remove these non-budgetary items from the budget, I have little faith that that will occur this time. With Democrats controlling both houses and the Governor's office, Democratic leaders will seize this opportunity to advance controversial policies that wouldn't stand the light of day if done in the regular process

If these policies are so worthwhile, they should go through the Legislature like every other major policy item. They should be available for public hearings so that regular citizens have the opportunity to scrutinize and critique the merits of the proposal. Pushing these things through in the budget is simply a way to advance the agenda of a few at the expense of open government and a fully involved public.
