Janesville Power Brokers Continue To Clique

Tweet

Among the pages archived here at Rock Netroots Commentary, you can find several dozen ethically questionable incidents carried out by Janesville city government over the past several years that have been literally swept under the carpet by its revisionist compliant media associate. Some of the most egregious examples of recent include a run-up to socialize the business expenses of a politically connected local investment group with a property tax-free facility and a fishy city contract. A non-partisan city council endorsing the legislative agenda of a politically active special interest group, and a deceptive if not outright dishonest presentation from the city administration during a council meeting on a decision to build a water tower on the city’s NE side.

Had these shenanigans occurred in any other town, they would have been scandalous high publicity events. On a few very rare occasions when Janesville media or city officials seemingly addressed obvious grievances, they simply apply straw man tactics to undermine civic reformers or demonize the messenger as a negative malcontent with an axe to grind. Yet strangely enough, the Janesville Gazette oftentimes has no problem pointing blame and running up criticism at officials of government outside of the local power-broking clique. On most occasions, the Janesville scandal is just simply ignored.

But the Gazette has the scoop on the donut eating contest in Walworth County!

King Daley of Chicago only wishes he had it this easy.
