Comment Corner

Comment to "Taxing Decisions": May 15, 2007 4:33 PM: Anonymous said – The rumor is that Wayne is sending out e-mails with your blog entries and then making comments to those. Guess he figures it is better to let someone else lead for awhile.

Response: Hmm… that’s interesting. If anyone has received these, please feel free to forward them on to wayne.who.cares@gmail.com. Where is he?? Are the rumors true? Has he moved to California? Has he gone into semi-retirement? Was he just being quiet in hopes of getting on the charter review committee? Or… was the competition too much and he finally pooped out? If you see him, please post a comment with where the spotting occurred.

Comment to "Not everyone speeds downtown": May 19, 2007 8:25 AM: Grandma Peach said – I am not sure if this is a "share the wealth" issue as you call it. Isn't the issue why does a group or neighborhood have to scream to get action or results from the city. After hearing the case made by the police chief, it is pretty easy to see that the Police Department is working their tails off to keep this city from going off of the deep end. It also seems that someone at the government level was not paying attention to the problems at the Police Department. The only mention of more police I have seen from the folks downtown has been very positive. They had a nice young man at one of the commission meetings that thanked the commission, and he seemed happy with the results of the Police Department and the City. Maybe you know more of the story than what you have put in your article?

Response: We don’t really have a response to this one. We just thought that the user name “Grandma Peach” was really cool and wanted to republish it.

Comment to "Comment Corner": May 19, 2007 8:35 AM: Anonymous said – Maybe WayneWho and KSIB.net should do the charter review online. The two rumor and humor news sites (at least more news that we get anywhere else) could do weekly postings on the charter, and what their impressions of each section are. At least these two sites could talk about the taboo areas that are not allowed to be mentioned by the average voting public. We could then compare these sites ideas against the cherry pick - I mean, charter review committee. Fair and balanced from internet blogs. It is a new world.

Response: We fully agree! Starting this Friday, we will place a section of the Charter on the blog every week for the true citizen charter review, opening it up for comments from the public.

He is still in town. I saw him at a City function last night at the Civic Center. It was an appreciation dinner for advisory board members. I thought it was odd that he was there because they never called his name as being on a city board. I am not sure if he just crashed the dinner or what, but I did see him there.

Thank you for the complement. I have really seen those officers out on the streets. I think I saw 10 of them out in one area and it was a welcomed site. Keep up the good work.

Totally unrelated to comment corner, but tonight I saw Steve Burke's interview on Channel 9 and think it's great that he is getting back in the fight. Give it to em. The city has been squandering away our hard earned tax dollars on trips and a birthday party when we're in a budget lockdown. This commission is totally unplugged from reality and it is time to bring em back and Burke is just the one to do it. "Bring Back Burke" -I say. It can't be any worse than what we've got now.

I was at work and saw
Steve Burke's report on Channel 9.
Regardless of what he has done in the past, forgive and forget.
BRING BACK BURKE!!!
At least he fights for the people.
