Furthermore, the County's own audits show that the privatization of other areas, like the food service and the security at the mental health complex, or the food service at HOC, is costing tax payers millions more than if it had been kept in the public sector.<br /><br />And here I thought you were against wasteful spending...capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-41395386251187183562010-02-06T16:36:25.992-06:002010-02-06T16:36:25.992-06:00But w/out the dedicated funding source for MCTS, i...<i>But w/out the dedicated funding source for MCTS, it will collapse and with it, the regional economy.</i><br /><br />Wrong.<br /><br />"The economy" will not collapse without MCTS.

So that's like saying that 38% of the time it works every time.<br /><br />If there is anything on this blog even remotely resembling a "tantruming child", it is your delusional arguments.<br /><br />I am shocked, SHOCKED that you aren't in favor of the choo choo trains or an RTA. Is it because they won't be unionized, Capper? Or maybe you work as a Bus Driver for MCTS. <br /><br />For the record, I have read your garbage blog, too. Gotta love the childish post regarding your google search about "Scott Walker achievments". Selectively searching for information on the internet gives you exactly what you want, selective information. Scott Walker achieves more sitting on the can than you do in a month, you twit.<br /><br />So, when are you going to bring logic and reasoning to your arguments? When you decided to, feel free to let us know.Disgruntled Car Salesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151648076485580643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-86693126677346385672010-02-06T12:54:08.850-06:002010-02-06T12:54:08.850-06:00Actually, I am ambivalent about the train, and mor...Actually, I am ambivalent about the train, and more than a bit leery about an RTA.

But like anything else sucking tax dollars, it must be carefully evaluated.<br /><br />As to 'liberal' companies--that is a misleading term. Companies (and their officers) will always advocate solutions which are in THEIR interest. Fine and good; but THEIR interests must be balanced against the good of the whole. Or are you advocating a corporatocracy, Capper?<br /><br />By the way, Roundy's CEO lives in Illinois--which is why he likes the choochoo.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-19097301199971816842010-02-06T00:37:46.490-06:002010-02-06T00:37:46.490-06:00Neo-convict-

I said contribute, which means add to, not be the sole cause of, the job loss.<br /><br />Daddio- <br /><br />From the Public Policy Forum's research:<br /><br /><i>Our report also analyzes survey data collected by MCTS from its riders. We found that 43% of<br />riders use the bus system to get to and from work, and that three‐quarters are “captive”, meaning other transportation choices are not always available to them. As policymakers consider the future of transit in Milwaukee, they must consider that a severe reduction in bus service may negatively impact Milwaukee’s economic competitiveness by impeding the ability of potential workers to get to jobs throughout the region.</i><br /><br />I'd say workers getting to their jobs and people getting to the stores to keep the economy moving would be for the common good. <br /><br />DCS-<br /><br />Sorry, I don't respond to tantruming children.<br /><br />Amy-<br /><br />I would refer you to my comment to DCS, but also add that Roundy's and Johnson Financial are hardly liberal companies.
