    Just like to make the point that being a “NIMBY” is not immoral of itself. In the circles I’ve known Pam, she is definitely not a NIMBY, but she is progressive with vision. The only evidence for “NIMBY” here seems to be the EastSide-Campus disputes. It’s polarized beyond nuance, so I’m staying out of that one.

    Anyway, I don’t live there but I have noticed the practice of absentee landlords who let their rentals go blighted. And the earlier the streetcar arrives to serve the campus the happier will all parties be. Alleviating parking, and bolstering safe partying.

    I clicked over here while following the story about the Scripps-Journal merger. I’m a Milwaukee native who doesn’t live there anymore, but retains family ties and draws personal identity from having grown up there — which is to say that I have no dog in any of the issues that were mentioned.

    But geez, folks, it sure looks like you went way out of your way to personally dig at someone you don’t like. Wow, she is a “a copious taker of notes at public hearings and meetings.” Oooh, dangerous. By the way you don’t copiously take notes. You take copious notes. Uh-oh, I’m a stickler for correct usage.
