In a Janesville Gazette interview, Whitewater City Manager Kevin M. Brunner reveals how unaccountable is the city’s position involving property damage to a resident, how quickly he’ll hide behind someone else, and how shameless is his self-righteous posturing. Over at the Janesville Gazette, there’s a story about Lt. Joseph Cull, a Whitewater resident and citizen…

If you were in an auto accident, would your principal source of information about your rights be the other driver’s insurance company? Probably not. Last week, I wrote about a Whitewater resident who experienced approximately twenty-thousand dollars in damage from a municipal sewer backup. The story received coverage in Madison and Milwaukee, and I posted…

Over at Channel 3000, there’s a story about a United States Marine, serving in Afghanistan against the Taliban, whose house was flooded because of problems a City of Whitewater employee reportedly admitted were the city’s fault. (I have never met the officer in the story; my remarks are without personal connection.) In a story entitled, Wisconsin…

A reader has kindly sent along a link to a story about former Whitewater, Wisconsin City Manager Gary Boden, entitled “Councilmen: Gary Boden was forced out. The story in the newspaper published in the Clinton Herald of Clinton, Iowa, until recently Boden’s place of employment as city manager, describes conflicts between Boden and Clinton’s mayor,…

 It was a relatively brief Common Council meeting on Tuesday, July 7th.  About a half-hour into the meeting, as at last session, the Common Council considered changes to Whitewater’s regulations affecting sidewalk cafés for some establishments near the Cravath lakefront.  I wrote about that meeting in a post entitled, Whitewater, Wisconsin’s Café Scene”.    Removal of these…

We’re trying to attract new businesses and residents to Whitewater.  How about our sitting governor, Jim Doyle, who shows an appreciation of double standards that would make him a perfect fit for the stodgy town squires of Whitewater, Wisconsin?  Over at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, there are the results of a fine investigative report detailing…

 I’ve received emails about a court ruling from England, in which an English judge ruled against the right of anonymity for a blogger.  The ruling’s specific and technical, and of no precedent for America.  Britain does not have a written constitution, unlike America, France, or Japan, for example.  Her system of government is unlike our…

After about thirty minutes of preliminary discussion, our Common Council on April 8th considered a chronic nuisance ordinance for Whitewater. Versions of these ordinances are in force in Madison, Green Bay, Janesville (and surely other communities, too). An officer (Aaron Ellis) from the Janesville Police Department, responsible for enforcement of Janesville’s ordinance, spoke before Whitewater’s…

I thought I’d share a satirical video that I discovered previously, but forgot to pass along.  Kevin Brunner, City Manager of Whitewater, Wisconsin, is no longer new to town.  If nearly everyone in town knows of Dr. Nosek (who could not?), then nearly as many know of Kevin Brunner.  He’s likely a part of city government…
