@Evanryt Same as 2018…
I’d expect a MU Law poll later this month.
That will tie folks over til financial reports mid July and a final MU poll before the primary.
@Citizen_MKE Ahh, I knew that about the New Berlin route, but not the Falls one.
I understand the union's concern, but end-of-day, I detest how this region sees busses as "poor people" transportation &not transit for everyone.
Big cities place transit priority on their CBD. So should we.
A few people have questioned the relevance / investigatory chops of 60 Minutes in replies to this thread. So I put together a list of major recent investigations that had massive impact in the discourse and even created new policy....
This has the exact same problem as her “get rid of prisons” interview with @AJBayatpour.
It doesn’t actually address the issue and basically just lays blame at these abstract concepts of “billionaires” and “the system” instead of addressing the very real concern voters have.
On top of that, there are legitimate concerns over why/how it was paid so quickly.
If it was able to be paid, why wasn’t it?
It someone paid it for her, who was it and what axes may or may they not have to grind.
Asking these questions isn’t some “attack” it’s sound vetting.
@MuchachonMIA@johnsemley3000@newnew48143419 Jeff Fager, among others, was literally fired because he allowed harassment to occur within CBS News & 60 Minutes a year after Pelley was fired from the Evening News for speaking out a hostile work environment...
man, who should we believe: someone who's virtually never gotten along with her colleagues in a true newsroom and was previously accused of being a terrible manager at their previous stop, or the multi-Emmy-Peabody-Polk award winner beloved by his co-workers?
@rpmm24@DiscourseMKE@MKENewYorker@josefine_wi The state program though, likely, is at the same place as the Milwaukee program, unfortunately.
Completely destroying it isn't an option & would burn a lot of political capital doing it...
@rpmm24@DiscourseMKE@MKENewYorker@josefine_wi This says nothing about the asinine "2-year rule" which forces them to sell surplus buildings to a charter/voucher operator before marketing them for housing.
So no, I absolutely disagree with the statement one is good versus the other.
One is a harbinger of what's to come.
@rpmm24@DiscourseMKE@MKENewYorker@josefine_wi Furthermore, MPS literally has to pay bussing for countless private schools based upon a 1960's ruling that never imagined vouchers.
They can't right-size their own bus footprint without it impacting private schools & threat of a lawsuit. It's absurd.
@DiscourseMKE@MKENewYorker@rpmm24@josefine_wi The statewide program came at the right demographic time for many Catholic & Lutheran schools who'd also be facing hard choices about closure. But now they get the voucher cash & can take former public school kids or non-high need SPED students, get paid, & stay afloat.
@DiscourseMKE@MKENewYorker@rpmm24@josefine_wi You're both right.
Statewide most vouchers have gone to folks who were already in private schools. Data on that is harder to come by now w/caps off & the program being in existence for so long.
Central city tho, many small church schools only manage to stay due to vouchers.
