Or an extra computer might be purchased and his property tax could go up. Or classes for children with disabilities could be allowed to continue at each school and his property tax could go up.<BR/><BR/>The same man who, because of his allegiance with developers who contribute his boss and his party (and invite him to cocktail parties), believes SIDEWALKS are an unnecessary luxury. So our community's children dodge traffic on the shoulder of overburdened roads. And not a word about how arbitrary developer-enriching subdivisions create a greater property tax burden than the schools ever could. <BR/><BR/>Local bloggers who choose not to publicize Mr. Fischer's star turn (because he has made it about him) will be accused of not caring about children. How do I know? Because I watched Mr. Fischer and his cohorts accuse Franklin blogger Greg Kowalski of <I>not caring about kids</I> because they felt he didn't blog sufficiently about the Steven R. Hanke sexual predator case. That's how ugly it gets.<BR/><BR/>A poor choice, unfortunately, for such a worthy cause.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712884295398851450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561726959150987222.post-63195345323881097302008-02-05T11:52:00.000-06:002008-02-05T11:52:00.000-06:00Sad part is Kevin was just named "Master of Ceremo...Sad part is Kevin was just named "Master of Ceremonies" for a Franklin-based safety group, Citizens for a Safe Wisconsin.<BR/><BR/>Why they would allow such a controversial man be Master of Ceremonies just blows my mind.<BR/><BR/>Read: http://fvkeller.squarespace.com/bullseye/2008/2/5/todays-number-is-414-630-8214.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561726959150987222.post-73305162237165953982008-02-05T11:14:00.000-06:002008-02-05T11:14:00.000-06:00I give the franklinnow blogs wide berth because t...I give the franklinnow blogs wide berth because they can be quite the cesspool of namecalling and pouting (and the right wing bloggers seems incapable of engaging an actual topic), but I was there for the "liar" incident.<BR/><BR/>Fischer indeed attempted to make a straw man of the issue. However, as any sensible person realizes, "I will call you a liar" is carefully worded as OPINION and Fischer has no reason to be bent out of joint.<BR/><BR/>As I've said before, I want Mr. Fischer to blog to his heart's content. He reveals more and more of the dirty underside to his salary- and ego-based ideology with every post and comment. But I sure wish he could learn to be civil to the extent that he and I could actually greet one another cordially in public; after all, we both live in the same town (though I never see him anywhere).Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712884295398851450noreply@blogger.com
