Do We Need This In Cudahy?
During the summer of 2008, Cudahy Police had to respond to a flag vandalism happening where an American Flag was burned and the people cited for careless use of burning materials.

Cudahy Middle School
I take my daughter, Ria, to Cudahy Middle School for swimming lessons (Parent child swim offered by the rec dept) on Saturday mornings. She has a blast! I recommend it to any parents.
Where’s Mayor McCue?
Just like playing “Where’s Waldo” can you find Mayor McCue in the sea of people at Obama’s Inauguration?
Help in the adventure of “Where are people.” Chief Roberts, Michelle Obama, President Bush.

The citizens of Cudahy still should know why Mayor McCue said “NO” to Wal-Mart and some new information about Wal-Mart.

This Post Will Offend Someone Part II
I knew you would not fall for that one twice.
First, let me give you two emails I received about the first part.
Possible Drug Overdose
A Cudahy friend of mine emailed me a story and I have to say that my first reaction to the subject “Man's death a possible drug overdose” was another one in Cudahy. Come on I am sure by my subject title you thought the same thing since Cudahy has a drug problem.
I opened up the email and he added, “I guess we don’t have the market cornered in overdoses. Maybe Cudahy is now exporting overdoses!

Cudahy Mayor Ryan McCue’s 2007 Campaign Platform And Promises
First, let us review what they are and I have highlighted a few areas.
Bird Droppings
Every year we hear about MMSD (Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District) doing a blended sewerage overflow discharge into Lake Michigan that will close local beaches because of E coli health concerns.
A friend of mine that once worked for the MMSD came up with a theory that sounds plausible.
Trivia -What is the name of the holiday that falls on the third Monday in February?

As a continuation and a preface to me grading Cudahy Mayor McCue’s campaign platform and the promises he has in it, this blog post is chalked full of insights and even a surprise acknowledgement by me.

Disabled Cudahy Firefighter
I was very saddened to read the story “Disabled and in pain, firefighter says city has abandoned him” for various reasons.

The Next Catastrophe!
I am not sure how many people know this, but the Earth’s moon is drifting away. The Moon has been drifting away. Each year, it moves about 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) farther into space. This isn’t some crackpot theory I cooked up. Space.com has an interesting article just click the link above.
Now maybe Obama will get with Al Gore and here on Planet Earth we can try and do something about it! Maybe it is accelerating away do to the man made items and trips by humans to it.

Recall Of Cudahy District Two Alderwoman?
According to this Cudahy Now article, “Thirsty Moose seeks damages; panel recommends license revocation”
Alderwoman and Rules, Laws and Licensing Committee Chairwoman Mary Schissel also is under fire. Bonchek's attorney, Alan Eisenberg, is collecting signatures for a recall petition to remove her from her aldermanic post. The petition states that Schissel "appears to exhibit reckless harassment of a Cudahy business owner to gain personal advantage of a relative and has publicly expressed a bias against a local tax-paying business owner."
