Got an email yesterday from the head suits in the building - With the overwhelming amount of people retiring by the end of next week we are finding that large conference rooms are very hard to come by for parties.

One of the reason the WIS 14 are in Illinois is so people get a chance to really see what the Bill has in it - it's pretty BIG and there are still things being revealed.
Check this out! (not ranting - informing)
Walker proposes cutting the Earned Income Tax Credit and eliminating indexing on the Homestead Credit, (this will really hurt Elwood) an effective tax increase of $51 million for Wisconsin’s poorest families. This is in contrast with over $200 million in tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy in the budget and the “budget repair” bill.
The governor’s budget reduces staffing and funding for the Department of Revenue, a department which has outperformed expectations in recent years in collecting delinquent taxes. Rather than fund positions to make sure that everyone pays their fair share in taxes, the governor is cutting within this department and lowering expectations for delinquent tax revenue collections by $20 million from what was collected in 2010.
At a time when Scott Walker is dramatically cutting public school funding, he is expanding private, tax supported schools that have consistently failed to be better than public options. (well, at least SOME have consistently failed. I think there is a little spin on that one)!
The budget phases out income eligibility criterion so high income families can now get tax vouchers for sending children to private school.

One of the nonpolitical things that gets me is that every morning I walk to work and has 7-10 huge Network satellite trucks. Every day I walk through the epic center of a movement - it's rather exciting. Last week I took a 360 degree photo in the dead center of the capitol rotunda. YOU can not GET any more deeper in a movement - dead center! With four networks filming "I" was in the epic center! COOL
I'm getting to know some of these trucks. I walk past $100,000 cameras on tripods standing in the middle of the sidewalk, no one around - I look inside open doors and see news people putting on make-up and reading script! I trip over FOX cables that are laying all around and say "good morning " to the reporters.
Today a new truck appeared in front of my building. Truck #11. One of the smaller ones.
So yesterday I was walking around at noon looking for anything interesting and I must apologize to FOX News when they showed violent protests in Madison but with palm trees in the background!
THERE WERE PALM TREES!!! My BAD!!
Even Legos are getting into the action!
Mr. WALKER - WE ARE NOT YOUR TOYS!
As I was walking around the doors of the Capitol seemed to be painted or something - I walked closer and saw hundreds of post it notes! As I was take some photos a woman who I didn't know turned around and - I DID know here! I love the expression on her face.
I took these this morning and am thinking of make posters of them.
makes a nice background on your computer screen
FINALLY - it's Friday
