Friday morning I fill in for Jay Weber on Newstalk 1130 WISN from 8-10 am. WISN Program Director Jerry Bott fills in for Jay from 6-8 am.
On Friday night on InterCHANGE on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10 at 6:30, these are the topics my co-panelists and I discuss:
1 – Miller/Coors.
Will this be a good combination for one of Milwaukee’s oldest companies? The Miller / Coors combination may mean just one place for a corporate headquarters. They say the decision hasn’t been made. If it comes down to Denver or Milwaukee, who will get it? The new top exec is a Coors guy? Coors is a non-union brewer? What about taxes, crime, condition of the plant, weather, livability, ability to attract corporate talent, culture, schools, airport, etc? Does it look good for Milwaukee? 800 corporate jobs are at stake here. Should the city be doing something right now to persuade them to locate here?
2 – Crandon.
As is always the case after these tragedies, many are wondering if this could have been prevented. Should even small town departments do psychological screening before they give a cop a gun? Why do you think there were so many calls placed to 9-1-1 before there was a response? How has the media reporting been?
3 – Dave Schulz.
Was Dave Schulz a good Milwaukee County Executive? Was he truly not cut out for politics, or exactly the kind of politician we need today? Was it his ego or his intellect which alienated so many people?
4 – Brewers/Torre.
If the Yankees let Joe Torre go, should the Brewers make him their new manager? Or, do we stick with Ned Yost? Or, do we go for someone else, like a Dusty Baker, or Tony La Russa, or a Don Mattingly? Or, after 30 some lucrative sell-out games at Miller Park, would you be inclined to leave everything as it presently is, and hope for yet another financially successful season next year?
