Shareholders of Wisconsin Energy Corp. will see a 25% higher payout with the dividend declared Thursday by the Milwaukee-based energy company.
On Wednesday, We Energies announced a refund that would amount to $3 a month for the average customer due to over-collection of fuel costs in 2008. Fuel prices rose dramatically in the first half of 2008 but then plummeted in the second half of the year.
So why not a bigger rebate to customers if they can increase their dividend?

Village seeks new director--UPDATE
Click here
Steinbrink Jr., son of Village President John Steinbrink Sr., has applied for the job. Pollocoff said Wednesday he was disappointed reading online comments alleging John Jr. had the inside track and others need not apply.
“I think it’s a shame, too, because I don’t hear a lot of people complaining about the job he does,” Pollocoff said.

“I assumed that once we put this out people would be saying we would hire him automatically,” Village Administrator Michael Pollocoff said. “I’m going to hire the best person for the job.”
“It’s going to have to be someone who has grown up in the system,” she said. “All of our department heads are able to do every job that lies under their umbrella. So, we would expect them to be able to do any job in the field they would ask their workers to do.”
I'd say that line says it all.

Village vs. Texas Jay's

While the letter appears to support Lyons’ comments, Pollocoff took issue with his interpretation.
Naturally. Should be an interesting fight. Stay tuned.

Looks Like My Home Town Slapped Down the Village!
On Tuesday, the city (La Crosse) still beat out the rest of the market by at least a quarter point, including Pleasant Prairie, which had the only other bond sale in Wisconsin on Tuesday. “We beat the pants off them,” Pittelman said. The communities have identical credit scores, but La Crosse throws its bonds into the marketplace, whereas Pleasant Prairie seeks out a single buyer.

Clyde Allen versus John Roscioli for Trustee
It's official. Good luck to both. Monica Yuhas and John Steinbrink, Sr. unopposed. I speculate that next year's Trustee election will be much more interesting.
