Former Chief Hegerty wants more Money

Former Milwaukee Police Chief Nan Hegerty has filed a suit against the city of Milwaukee for discrimination. Claiming she was paid less than her counterparts because she was a woman.

This is a touchy subject for most people, but for me it is rather easy.

First of all you agree to do the job at the price that is offered you. If you are not happy with what they offer you, then you counter offer and/or don't take the job. Then if you are not satisfied and you feel like you are being discriminated against, you take action. You don't agree to do the job at the agreed pay, then after you are gone, you decide, "I didn't like that pay, and I think they discriminated against me."

Second, I believe the City of Milwaukee should counter sue her for failure to perform. She may not have been the worst Police Chief, but she can very easily be grouped in with them. I can not for the life of me think of one good thing that she did. Her Officers didn't like her, the public didn't like her, about the only people that her where the Thugs and Criminals who got away with anything and everything because she didn't back up her officers.

I think that she should repay the city for her $132,000 a year salary and now her $6000+ a month pension. She sure didn't earn any of it.

Winter ruins start of Spring

It isn't as if this hasn't been the longest winter yet, now Mother Nature has to ruin the start of spring. After spending the last few days in the upper 30's and 40's, another Winter Storm hit us here in SE Wisconsin.

When the NWS issued it's Winter Storm Warning for us on Wednesday, it said 4-7 inches of snow. Not too bad, we can handle that without too big of an issue. The storm was due to hit around Midnight on Thursday going into Friday. Then they said it wouldn't get here until Friday around 4 am. Yes they got it right. When I woke up at 7:30 Friday morning it was snowing with a vengeance. Here it is Midnight Friday night and it is still snowing, we already have 15 inches on the ground and it is still SNOWING!!!!

The TV Weather guys are thrilled to tell us all how we have now made it to #2 on the snowiest Winters all time for Milwaukee. But wait, not really, only at the airport. At the airport they have gotten some 95 inches, but in many other areas around Milwaukee, we have easily topped the 100 inches mark and continue to watch it snow.

Please Mother Nature, let us welcome in Spring and Summer!!!!

Brett Favre Retires!!!!

The Packer Nation is in mourning after the rampant rumors that have been flying late last night and into this morning were confirmed, "Brett Favre is retiring."

Brett Favre had a storied career with the Green Bay Packers, setting multiple NFL Records and credited with the resurgent of the Green and Gold.

Is Brett Favre the best Quarterback ever? One of the best yes, but the best, no. He will definitely be remembered as one of the greatest. It is hard to believe the Packers will take the field with out #4 leading the offense. The bigger question that will need to be answered is Aaron Rodgers the guy to take over the helm? Brett's biggest accomplishment was his ability to start every game, Aaron in his limited playing time was hurt and had to sit out. This is every teams worse nightmare.

If not Aaron Rodgers, then who?

Time to get back going

Things have started slowing down and there is so much to talk about here in Milwaukee Wisconsin. The new Police Chief has been taking aim at the gang problem and doing an outstanding job, however the criminal element continues to thrive here. Over the next several weeks we will take a look at the DA's and Judges whom aren't holding up their end of the deal.

Also, the Presidential race will undoubtedly become a very heated battle over the next several weeks, and months to come!!!!

Speaking of politics, what is wrong with people who support Michael McGhee? Here is a man in Jail and facing serious charges that even the best case scenario says he wont be found innocent. Yet there is a movement to keep him in office!?

Post your input!!!!!! This is an open forum, as long as we stay on target and respect each other.

New Police Chief Has a Plan

New Police Chief Edward Flynn has put a plan into action. Targeting a specific area of Wells Street, between 24th and 36th.

This area has a reputation as being the crack alley. This plan is being put in place to reduce the crime and remove the need for residents to call the police. The New Police Chief warned the bad guys on Wells Street that police are coming after them.

This is a great start for the New Police Chief and I look forward to seeing how this works out and what impact it has. I also look forward to the next step.

Keep up the good work, at least you are trying!!!!

Milwuakee's New Police Chief Starts Today

Ed Flynn, the new Police Chief for Milwaukee was sworn in this morning. Chief Flynn will have his work cut out for him as he gets down to the business of trying to clean up this city. After several years of misconduct, corruption, and the plain and simple lack of accountability the city has become a sludge pit of crime. Nightly at 10:00pm on any news channel you hear about the murders, gun shots, rape, and robbery. The inner city lack of cooperation with the police, Civic Leaders promoting the "Don't Snitch" policy, and an absent Mayor, will not make it easy on the new Chief. However, at this time I am giving him my full support. I hope that he can jump right in and start making a difference immediately. I believe that if he can start making noticeable changes right away, it will create a snowball effect and the good people of Milwaukee will start forcing the hands of the Leaders who until now have opted to just collect a paycheck.

100 Car Pile-Up on I-39/90 Near Madison

The warm weather combined with the heavy snow cover provided the proper ingredients for very dense fog. The wall of fog induced multiple chain reaction collisions. Some 100 vehicles involved in major crashes along a 5-mile stretch of highway in both the North and South bound lanes. Two persons confirmed dead, and more than 50 taken to area hospitals. At 10:00 pm CDT The Interstate remains closed from the accidents which began around 2:30 pm.

New Police Chief.....

Milwaukee has a new Police Chief, but can he make a difference. This city is getting so bad, that on most nights the first 10 minutes of news is related to shootings and deaths in and around the Metro. We have an alderman in jail awaiting trial, who has led the African American community in a no snitch campaign. How can the new Police chief bring the community together to resolve the divides and clean up the city that has spiraled down out of control for the last several years?

Frank Jude Beating Trial

The verdict was read today around 2 PM EDT. 3 of the 4 found guilty. All three of the fired Police Officers were found guilty on their charges, while the 4th Officer who was suspended was found not guilty. The Jury took 27 hours to come to the verdict, and I think everyone involved would have to say they did their due diligence in this case. They obviously did not have their minds made up and did what a jury was suppose to do, listen to all the evidence and then come to their conclusion. Now we get to see how things will progress.

Frank Jude and The NAACP are already pushing the Civil Lawsuit. I don't understand why the NAACP is really involved in this? The ACLU maybe, but the NAACP?

The absent Mayor of Milwaukee Tom Barrett came out of his cave to get a few minutes of TV time, I am not really sure where he has been for everything else going on around the city, but he made himself visible for this. As for the Police Chief, She would have been better off just staying out of sight, very few in the community have any real confidence in her.

Now, I for one think that the 3 Police Officers that were convicted were guilty from day one. This community for far too long have had and still to this day have very little leadership. The Police have had no leadership for as long as I can remember, the former Police Chief Art Jones was more interested playing the Racism card than doing his job. He failed in every thing that he did as the Police Chief, The former Mayor was involved in a Sexual Harassment issue, The County Board was ripping the Citizens off, The new Mayor is absent most of the time, only coming out when it suits him, the new Police Chief has yet to accomplish anything, Current Alderman Michael Mcghee is in Jail, and the rest of the Aldermen don't seem to know what to do.

This city is in drastic need of a complete makeover. With the exception of a very few, we need to replace the entire government structure of Milwaukee. Replace almost all of them. The problems with racism, crime, employment, and tourism is not going to get any better until we get all new leadership in this city.

This is a great day for Justice in the City, it is just too bad that it had to be a Federal Case to get Justice, and it is too bad that nothing else will change until real Justice is done by the citizens of Milwaukee.

Wisconsin has gone CRAZY!!!

Just when you things can't be any worse, another amazing story comes out in Wisconsin. First the political landscape is just a sewer, then the mass killings in Delevan, then the abuse and murders in Portage, the beatings in Milwaukee, and the stray bullets that are flying around like crazy. What more can happen in this state before people start taking action?
