Urban spelunking: Converting the former Browning School into a community center (onmilwaukee.com)

Milwaukee Recreation, a department of Milwaukee Public Schools, is considering a new recreation community center and aquatic facility on the site of the former Browning School and Playfield, 5575 N. 76th St. We went inside for a look before an Oct. 14 community open house.

"If voters want change, they should go to the polls" doesn't work anymore. I don't know if it is the Democrats' spinelessness or the fact that the GOP is doing everything that they can to gerrymander and rig elections, or when that fails, just try to overthrow the damn government. We really need a plan B, though.

[News] Government shutdown threat eases after House passes a 45-day funding plan, sending it to Senate (apnews.com)

This was supposed to be dealt with back in May. Even if the continuing resolution gets through the Senate, I'm guessing that we are going to be back here a month from now but with no house speaker (after Lauren Boebert and company force him out of the speakership for being "too liberal").

The Milwaukee Clipper (the boat that the Lake Express replaced) primarily went between Milwaukee and Muskegon but they did seasonal routes all over Lake Michigan. Folks complain about the cost of running high-speed passenger rail from Milwaukee to Green Bay but what if there was another ferry route going from Chicago to Milwaukee and onward to Green Bay? I would use it.

I've never been to the original but I've driven past it often. I have high hopes for the new one.

Over the past 2 years, Republican-controlled states have been quitting the Electronic Registration Information Center like it's going out of style. Conspiracy theorists insist that it is some sort of liberal front for controlling elections. In reality, it is just a way of making sure that someone isn't registered to vote in two states at the same time. I'm just glad that Evers is there to veto the bill.
