"City Council votes to move rail study forward"

From The Journal Times.com:

"RACINE — The city is on track to study the cost of extending Metra commuter rail service from Kenosha to Racine.

"Under a proposal approved 15-0 by the City Council Tuesday, the city would spend up to $30,000 from its intergovernmental revenue-sharing fund to hire a firm to complete the study. Funded by dollars Racine receives each year from neighboring communities via the sewer service agreement, the fund is intended to help Racine spark development within its borders"

Choo-choo!

It's funny how there's never enough money for anything, unless lying John wants to do it.

Actually, I think Racine would benefit from expansion of the rail line.  I'm old enough to remember the North Shore.

I hear their are two light rail locomotives sitting in France that Wisconsin paid for, but never had shipped because of Walker's refusal of government money to expand rail.

Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my half-priced Halloweenies!   How are you? Want to buy a pumpkin?  Ha-ha!

I would guess that this time of cooler weather is best for them.  And I suspect only a small percent of the crop is sold as Halloween pumpkins.  I think that most are used in food processing, like pumpkin pie filling.

The temperatures aren't supposed to  be too bad  today and tomorrow.  After that, you better get as close as you can to any heart source.  My source ( http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=KRAC ) says we'll soon be freezing our butts off. Or not.  The weather changes so rapidly here, but two thing is for sure. It will get coder and eventually it'll s-word.  P-tooie! Clean my mouth!

Another set of dirty words is "Green Bay Packers"  There's wailing,weeping and gnashing of teeth in Packerland, plus three attempted suicides.  The best way of washing that defeat  by the Denver Broncos out of our mouths is by beating the snot out of the Carolina Panthers, this Sunday, November 8, at noon, at Carolina.

Here's the current standings in the Irregular Football League:

Well, look at that.  I predicted that The Mighty Bears would fall.  Instead, they're on top of the heap.  I guess everybody makes mistakes some time.  Go, The Mighty Bears!  Don't go, the Chicago Bears!

Thank you my friends for reading my blog today.  I've had to cut it short because of time restraints.

I love each and every one of you.  Wet leaves are slippery.  Take care of yourselves and watch out for each other.

11/02/2015 | Filed under: Crime News | Posted by: racineuncovered

 "Brian Blair, 33 of Racine has been charged with Child Abuse-Intentionally Cause Harm and Possession of Cocaine/Coca(2nd+). He was given a $2,000 cash bond after making his initial appearance today in Racine Circuit Court. According to Racine County Jail records a hold has also been placed on him by the US Marshall Service for violation of federal probation.

"According to the criminal complaint on November 1, 2015 Racine Police responded to a location for a report of child abuse. Upon arrival the officer made contact with the juvenile. The juvenile stated that she had been repeatedly struck with a plastic clothes hanger and her hair had been pulled by the suspect. Racine Police state there was bruising on the child and according to the complaint it was a result of being beaten a few days prior with a phone charger cord. Another juvenile had been struck with a clothes hanger for not bringing enough candy back from trick or treating.

"According to an adult family member the defendant has been reportedly beating the two minor children since had had been released from federal prison a year ago and told police that the defendant has been calling the residence all night looking for the juveniles stating that 'I’m going to beat the hell out of them when they get home', the complaint states.

"Racine Police took the defendant into custody and located 3.5 grams of cocaine on him."

"Chaos in the streets of Racine."

From Racine Community Media:

"CHAOS ON 6TH STREET AS PEOPLE RUN THROUGH THE STREETS BEING CHASED BY POLICE, AN INNOCENT WOMAN IS HIT BY A CAR, WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE SILVER CAR SEEN IN THE VIDEO.  (adult language)"

 

"Racine- This all happened on Friday night Oct. 30th in downtown Racine on 6th street around 1am. Residents are saying this is the norm as the downtown bars struggle to maintain order when their clients spill out onto the streets of downtown. Curiously enough, these are the same issues the City Of Racine used as reasons to shut down the black bars on 6th street, blaming their establishments for creating havoc in the streets, those bars are gone now, so who is responsible now?

"With innocent people being struck by cars and chaos in the streets, the question becomes, “What will the City Public Safety Committee do to keep residents safe?” If their actions on Kenny’s Bar in downtown are any indicator, they will do nothing and residents will be in continued danger when visiting downtown and 6th street. 

"Stay alert Racine and stay safe, watch your back and look out for others, contact the Racine Police Department if you feel threatened or in danger in any way, stay safe Racine.

"No news following closed door talk on employee drug test failure"

Alderman Sandy Weidner

From The Journal Times.com:

October 29, 2015 7:26 pm  •  CARA SPOTO cara.spoto@journaltimes.com

"RACINE — A city committee gathered this week to discuss concerns raised about pre-employment drug screenings and the city’s hiring process.But the closed door meeting appears to have yielded no tangible action or insight into the issue.

"Alderman Sandy Weidner initially brought the concern to the Finance and Personnel Committee about two weeks ago after receiving what appeared to be information showing a current city employee had failed a pre-employment drug test.

"Weidner said she, and reportedly others, had been anonymously mailed the results of the failed drug test.

"Weidner said her main concern was that if the information she received was accurate, aldermen had been asked to approve an appointment that flew in the face of the city’s pre-employment policies"
