This Just In ...

Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely baby daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.

OK, city of Franklin...now what?


Tight economic times mean the days of the gravy train pulling out of Madison and stopping at every city, town, village and county in Wisconsin are over. State aid to municipalities can’t and won’t be the same because the state is broke.

The non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau has complied a report of how much aid each municipality will lose during 2010-2011 as a result of the governor’s proposed budget. The city of Franklin stands to see a cut of $580,644 or 2.5%.

How, prey tell, do our fiscal wizards at City Hall plan to handle this cut in aid?

Maybe the aldermanic members of our Common Council's Finance Committee can and will supply the answers.

Maybe Steve Taylor will offer solutions on his very active blog.

Maybe Kristen Wilhelm will write her ideas in her next constituent newsletter.
