" Badger, your aka name certainly befits you.
I'm currently saving the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars working pro-bono as an adviser and private task force member. What more do you want from me? All I do is give, give, give, but it is never good enough for you.

" Of course, you will need to maintain all services that are currently funded by the tax payer, at their current level at least. Then, with your great plan, you could even increase the service that we receive. I will bet you would be so good, that we would not need to worry about clearing our sidewalks. The City would run so efficiently, they would do it for us! Maybe, if we would be willing to do it ourselves, we could get a rebate from the city on our taxes! Man, where do I sign up to be your campain manager! "

" ollie, Great! I am glad you have all the answers! Come out from behind you annonymous computer and Run for public office, state your views publicly for all to hear and if you can make this a better City, County, School District, or Country, while still saving me tax money (either income or property) I will be the first to vote for you. In fact, I will even campain for you! "

" Badger, I do have all the answers, because I have common-sense, morals, and values. Gutless media have perpetuated the downfall of the people. "

" We, as a readers/consumers, should have been allowed to vote. I can tell you, the outcome would be a lot different. : : : Say, by the way, what is Dan Simmon's correct new email? One listed at his Tribune "retirement" never got answered. : : : And, 2nd question, why are all new employees given "lee.net" emails, rather than tribune.com? : : : Is the revolving door spinning THAT fast?

" kudos to the writers that won 'awards'. but remember, these 'awards' voted on by a very close group of like minded people. i put these 'awards' in the same class as Reverend Al, from the Church of Global Warming, winning and Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize. it shows how cheapened 'awards' have become in our society.

" ollie..... that appears to be your job. You seem to have all the answers as to how to fix things in this city yet I don't see you or any of the other cronies like Northsider that complain constantly about anything having to do with the city or schools running for city council or the school board. I would suggest to you that if you truly want to see things changed, you should qiut hiding behind the anonymity of these blogs and run for office. You would then be able to address all of your concerns and offer solutions to all the problems you see. Or... you could just complain. I think we all know which you will choose. "
