With the 2011 and 2012 recall elections costing Wisconsin taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester) introduced an amendment that would change the way we do recall in Wisconsin. Vos is Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Finance.
Last week every community across Wisconsin spent thousands of tax dollars on an unnecessary recall election. In a few weeks, our local governments will spend that same amount again. Racine County Clerk Wendy Christensen estimates that a quarter of a million dollars will be spent on the recall elections in our county. So, it’s not surprising that the total cost of the two recall elections statewide is expected to exceed $16 million. I think we all can agree that’s too much money. These dollars could be better spent or even better, given back to the taxpayer. Our state is turning into the recall state. My constituents continue to grow tired and frustrated with the never-ending campaign cycle. Even the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Editorial …

A closer look at the numbers in Tuesday recall primary indicates that many Republicans cast ballots in Democratic race for governor. If that's true, GOP turnout was much larger than it appears.
There were 614,511 ballots cast in the Republican primary for governor in 2010. That was a contested race between then Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker and former Congressman Mark Neumann. Walker, running nearly unopposed in Tuesday’s recall, received 626,538 votes. That’s nearly a 2 percent increase in Republican voters from 2010, despite just token opposition for Walker, and does not include crossover votes of Republicans voting in the Democratic primary (most likely for Kathleen Falk). To put the Republican turnout in perspective, Walker’s 626,538 vote total was equal to 91.4% of the total votes cast for all of the Democratic candidates and the Democratic protest candidate running as a Republican. In 2010, Milwaukee Mayor Tom …

There's some spiffy savings happening in the drugstore world this week so I thought I'd kill two....errr....budget birds with one column. ;) Let's start over at Walgreens.... Walgreens makes saving is pretty easy with their Register Rewards program. Each week there are oodles of deals which produce Register Rewards, or RR for short. They will print with your receipt at the checkout and can be used on future purchases like cash. There are a couple caveats though. You can not use an RR to purchase an item from the same brand as what the RR originally developed from. When you use the RR just make sure you do not use it to buy other items from said company. Also, if you're using manufacturer 'pons make sure you do not have more items in your…

Pirate Booty 4 oz Bag (white cheddar popcorn...yum!) -- On PriceCut for $2 Final cost: $1! 2. OneTouch Ultra Mini Meters -- On PriceCut for $9.99 Final cost: FREE! 3.

Pick 'n Save has been throwing me some cheapskate curveballs recently. First they messed with their sale schedule making my head spin...thank goodness we're back on track. Then, for whatever wacky reason, I haven't been receiving a flier in the mail for the past month or so. This is crummy on two levels...one being I've missed out on those snazzy coupon booklets and most importantly, flipping through Pick 'n Save's website to match up deals is a pain in the pants. But I have to put on my happy face and recognize we're still lucky duckies to have a store so close by that lets us indulge in Double Daze on Wednesdays AND Saturdays! That means, you can double up to 5 coupons in each transaction (if you need to double more, just split your …

A thank you note from Renee and Alyssa Brunelli.
Maybe you are lucky and have never been there, but someday you will. It is a place that finds you. It is a hard place. It is scary place. It is cold. It is lonely. Quiet? Don’t get me started. The solitude cuts like jagged glass. Your chest is an empty drum. No question - this is tough place. But you are tougher. You are going to rise above this place. It’s going to be okay. Sure, you are going to have to reach deep. You are going to have to double your previous best lift. Breathe -and remember to exhale on the exertion. Smooth and steady motion, Champ. You so got this. Here is something great: It is in this hell you will find the proof of God. You will find not only the courage to survive, but you will come up with superhuman …
