Are the Brewers Ready?

The Milwaukee Brewers have had a fantastic first half of the season. Playing above .500 ball, and maintaining one of the best records in the NL. Are they ready to make a push for the Penant?

The front office diffenitely must think so. Going out and putting together the deal to bring CC Sebathia into town. That was huge, you put Ben and CC in the Rotation and you put all the pressure on the opposing teams. Then they brought a bat with Ray Durham. Is there more yet to be done? Some say that the Crew may be also bringing in a Bullpen guy.

Now it is up to the team to produce, and produce they have been doing. This is getting very exciting, every game is like the playoffs. I can't wait till the next game.

Hegerty Claim of Discrimination unfounded

Former Police Chief Nannette Hegerty's claim of gender discrimination against the City of Milwaukee is unfounded. The state's Equal Rights Division has reportedly found no probable cause that the city violated Fair Employment Law.

The former Chief claimed she was paid less than her replacement due to the fact that she was a woman. She was paid $135,000 when she retired and her replacement was brought in at $144,000.

I think that she was way over paid!!! Not because she was a woman, but her failure to perform. She did very little to curb crime, her department was filled with corruption, and she was ineffective as a leader.

Police Chief Ed Flynn has done more in fighting crime in the City in less than a year, than she did her entire four years as Police Chief. I think the City should be receiving money back from her!!!
