LOCAL SPORTS
We have the Brewers, Badgers, Bucks, Packers, Golden Eagles,Waves, Admirals, Panthers and many more local sports teams to enjoy and support.
The greater Milwaukee area is darn lucky to have major league sports and big time college sports.
Traffic Law Changes
In order to keep my readers better informed I am including information about traffic law changes in Wisconsin that have been recently amended or changed.
Effective July 1, 2008, these changes are related to how points are determined by DMV and how point reduction is applied. No changes are being made as to how points are assessed. (Trans. 101).
Mind Your Manners and Emily Post
I remember as a youth the elders reminded us to "mind your manners". That's the way it was and that's the way it should be regardless of our situation.
Emily Post wrote the blue book of social usage entitled "ETIQUETTE". The original edition was copyright in 1922 and is preserved in the Library of Congress, Catalog number 55-7589.
Local Government Salaries
BROOKFIELD NOW publishes municipal salaries for 2006, and for the City of Brookfield, one can only assume are now higher than the 2 years old survey.
A number of persons, excluding the police and fire departments, who work at city hall are very well paid.
