    Viiroqua NewsViroqua Bypass
    Word is phases 2 and 3 are on hold for now due to lack of state funds. Until the plans for Viroqua and Westby bypasses are scrubbed, its like a meteor on the edge of the solar system. If you don't think the bypass will kill the downtowns, take a look at downtown Richland Center, or Whitewater.

    Viiroqua NewsThe developers of the new Walgreens store in Viroqua are trying to get around our sign ordinance to install an electronic scolling sign. Truthfully, they squeaked in 3 days before the ordinance went into effect. Now everyone will want one. You can read the story here.

    The Vernon County Broadcaster quotes Alderman Terry Noble: "I don't think it's too much too ask for a person that is getting $600,000 in TIF district aid to comply with the sign ordinance like anyone else and not come in three days ahead of it taking affect just so they don't have to comply," Noble said. "I don't think that was the spirit of the ordinance."

    The question for me remains why are we paying them $600K to come to Viroqua. I think it should be the other way around. How much will it cost me to get a Best Buy on the hamburger edge of town?

    Viiroqua NewsThe Bush administration has denied federal aid to areas of Vernon County that were damaged by tornados this August 18th. However, Bush does promise to restore Trent Lott's beach house.

    "Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch."

    -- George W. Bush, Sept. 2

    Viiroqua NewsViroqua City Council has passed a recommendation which will provide Walgreens with approximately $600,000 in tax assistance to make infrastructure improvements in order to site a new Walgreens store next to the Viroqual Food Coop.

    Alderman Vernie Smith cast the only dissenting vote and the measure passed, 7-1.

    This is the most blatantly uninformed misuse of public money I can think of. Don't let people tell you that there is no givaway. Tax breaks are real money. You and I and the schools will make up the difference. I can think of many development projects that are more deserving of public dollars than a new Walgreens. What...., they can't afford to build it without public assistance. How dumb are we and so what if they don't.

    You tell'em Vernie.

    Viiroqua NewsSpent some hours this weekend pulling garlic mustard plants from a hillside. Only found one 10 x 10 patch in an area where the electric company cut down some of my trees last year. Still pissed about that. Anyhow, my friend in the DNR pointed out the garlic mustard. Said if I don't keep after it and eradicate it, I'll lose the whole virgin hillside in 5 years. This is the spam of plantlife.
