staggers-lg

Remember when Michelle & Rolfing threw a fit because they didn’t want councilor Staggers to go to a convention on the councils dime?

Well Kermit explained his trip to the council at Tuesday’s informational (FF: 22:36) Instead of attending a right-wing cluster, he actually learned about sustainable development, affordable housing, public transit, affordable personal transportation and the Feds role in all of it.

The only thing Rex and Michelle were ‘suspicious’ of is that Kermit actually attended something productive. Can’t wait to hear Rolfing’s report on the League of Cities conference. We’ll see how ‘productive’ that was.

4 Thoughts on “Look’s like councilor Erpenbach and Rolfing’s hissy fits were over nothing

  1. I can’t view the video, but he did actually attend this American Dream Coalition conference, did he not? The one that advertises “Educat[ing] people about the Streetcar Hoax” right on their main page? If so, I’m not sure how much unbiased learning really happened there.

    Councilors need a refreshing retreat from unconstitutional home rule charter. It’s hard work tolerating Huether’s arrogance and budget waste. Trips to the Diamond Lake white sandy beach just don’t cut it. Every so often you must find company with intelligent patriotic sensible leaders.

    These guys are a bunch of sprawl-loving, transit-hating crackpots. I’m familiar with their executive director from my eight years living in Madison, Wisconsin – she’s a nice and slightly eccentric conservative who lives in a rural part of Dane County (of which Madison is the seat) and served for many years on the county board.

    The National League of Cities (assuming that’s where Rolfing went) is one of the most credible non-partisan groups out there.

    Opinions about Staggers and Rolfing aside, if I had to hand someone money to go to one and only one conference, I’d pick the NLC 101 times out of 100. If Staggers got something halfway sane out of it, more power to him. But then he found the needle in the haystack.

  4. I actually thought his presentation covered a lot of bases including his comments on the book ‘Prefurbia’
