Even if it failed to reach the targets 20 or 30 years from now, the coal industry would still make a profit.

I've spoken directly to Jim Merchant, the head of the teachers union, and told him to expect tough bargaining if I'm elected to the School Board.

Our community sends a lot of income tax money to the State of Wisconsin.

The message is that he has no respect for the people he is bargaining with. ... He should bargain in good faith and defend that contract to the public.

I'm really concerned that comments made in the boardroom, in public, have worked to undermine the relationship between the board and the union.

I think we need a full analysis of both options. I?m arguing both be equally analyzed before a decision be reached.
