Uline and Pleasant Prairie Pool
Let's hope this is just the tip of the iceberg for good news for Pleasant Prairie. $8 million dollars should build a very nice pool. Let's be open with costs and how funded and maintained. I know RecPlex has done OK but IcePlex has struggled financially. Can the facilities be used to enhance Pleasant Prairie Family Days and help them with its financial issues?
With Obama as President, and his Chicago connections, along with Miles White / Abbott and Olympic Committee connections, and the Village's Triathlon successes, the Village should make for a strong case to have multiple Olympic events here in Pleasant Prairie.
Maybe we can get Abbott to fund an enhanced bike trail system, along with pedestrian bridges over major roads and such, to Prairie Springs Park and West of I94, to enhance that aspect for future Olympic bid plus allow for more healthy bicycle and pedestrian traffic from Village homes to the new facilities and jobs West of I94. Would also improve air quality and residents health as was discussed in 2030 Smart Growth plans.

CDO and School Board
Again, what is the School Board afraid of? So now the Kenosha News, NY Times, and National Public Radio have all misquoted Mr. Hujik? Gee, you think someone would get the story straight, or maybe they have? Maybe the Public Relation firm isn't so smart for letting him talk with anyone. Another good use of taxpayer money.

SIgn of the Times
Village has admitted that budget is in trouble and jobs will be eliminated. What's next?
Didn't the Village supposedly save a bunch of money two years ago when they announced a last minute switch to a different healthcare provider? Now the rate goes up 20% when most everyone else is dealing with 9% or less? So maybe it is time to switch providers again.
