Good News Down To A Trickle In Janesville

The Rock County board of supervisors continue to balance respect for the people with trust and kept the selection of the county's coroner in the hands of the voters. In a decision a little too close for comfort, the people won in a 16-12 vote.

Remarkably, the Janesville Gazette did not run a newspaper campaign against the coroner's office before the board's decision. Are pigs flying?

The semi-pro football team Gladiators have been granted permission by the Janesville School Board to play two pre-season games at Janesville’s Monterey Stadium in May.

Unfortunately this good news seemed to be possible only after the City of Janesville literally gave away user rights to the taxpayer funded ice arena with an embarrassing 5-year contract to a private investment hockey group. By comparison, the Janesville School Board protected the interests of the taxpayers and the schools with this latest concession to allow the Gladiators use of the stadium for two events. The school board bent, but they did not break.

I’m downright giddy over the Gladiators playing in Janesville under a reasonable fair market agreement and hope to check out one of the games in May.
