Most of the people returning are business owners and salaried workers. Most of the hourly people are finding work in other cities.

There are people within the RFU who are well aware of the implications. It is tremendous theatre but, as certain owners have said to me, hangings are exciting as long as you're not the person getting hanged. It's something we've got to sit down and talk about. Anything is on the table.

We had not planned on having any vote, other than just to study (the contract), ... It's not a public hearing, but it is a study session. We will take comments.

The property owners want some service they typically can't get with the township. ... Wisconsin is one of the few states that have town government. They have disappeared in most states or never existed in the first place. Town officials aren't comfortable hearing that.

The proposed rule is a far cry from what is needed to protect farmers, workers, and children from pesticide drift.

The consolidation of these networks within the broadcast business speaks to the consolidation of power within the hands of station owners and the general entertainment conglomerates, but underneath that is a fundamental sea change in the way younger consumers experience media. They won't feel limited, because they can reach out in so many ways to get content. We're not in an age anymore where content distribution is limited to broadcast stations.
