In an innovative line of thought, unheard of in modern times and perhaps left behind by the mysterious alien intelligences that built the pyramids and the nature-loving primitive people who built Stonehenge, a concerned group of government tag-alongs has come up with a plan to add jobs: spend government money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nA group of people concerned about the lack of economic development and jobs on the north and west sides of Milwaukee have put together a plan they are convinced would make a difference.<\/p>\n

Now, they just need the city, county, state and banks to go along with them – to the tune of $400 million.<\/p>\n

…<\/center><\/p>\n

So what’s the plan? According to Edward McDonald, the University of Wisconsin Extension agent who drafted it, the proposal involves designating a wide area of the central city – from W. Burleigh St. to W. Highland Ave. and from the Milwaukee River to N. 60th St. – for improvement.<\/p>\n

It would set up a community council to oversee the project, and have the council develop catalyst projects, already designated by city planners, that would spur adjacent development.<\/p>\n

Money would somehow be cobbled together from existing government funds and bank loans, encouraged by government deposits. It would be spent over four years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The plan? Spend $100,000,000 a year funding council to develop buzzword buzzword buzzword. Exclamation point!<\/p>\n

God-luv-em, they are so earnest.<\/p>\n

Call it the no government tag-along left behind act. But don’t call it “stimulus” because that buzzword no longer focus groups well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
