This Just In ...

Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely baby daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.

This is a great idea


Franklin
is passionate about youth baseball and needs to get this done.

Let me get this straight. Under the gun, Franklin aldermen met on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and quickly approved spending $500,000 on an Interchange with little, if any data that it will reap economic benefits, but when confronted with building youth baseball fields on empty land that will cost nothing and benefit the entire community, some aldermen are saying, well gee, I don't know if this is the right thing to do or if this is the right location.

Alderman Tim (I couldn’t wait to vote Yes to spend that $500,000 the city doesn't have on an Oak Creek interchange) Solomon: Some friendly, respectful advice. If you want the ball fields as bad as you claim you do, then work hard to find another location if you have problems with the spot where the potential buyers want to go. It's that simple. Just make sure your ideas jive with the buyer's, or we risk losing the whole deal.

Capiche?

Economic development in Franklin. It's kind of like The 3 Stooges meet the Keystone Kops.
