How can feds give SEWRPC 4 more years?
How can federal officials, especially after the change in administrations in Washington, give SEWRPC a pat on the head and another four years of power over jobs, land-use and housing development in our region when the ACLU of Wisconsin documented practices institutionalized at SEWRPC that routinely favor whites and suburbanites in hiring, spending, and key advisory committee memberships?

Privatization talks continues to taxi at airport
The idea to privatize Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport refuses to be grounded. The airport actually makes money for the county and isn't in major disrepair or in need of an overhaul, yet some local officials continue to carry the torch for selling it off.

Opinion: Metra could chug from Kenosha to Milwaukee by '09
The Metra rail system could be transporting passengers between Kenosha and Milwaukee as soon as 2009. That is, if the advocates in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties can find enough fiscal fuel to fire up the economic engine.
