What's News in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin
A Letter to Pleasant Prairie Residents As we all are aware, the Village of Pleasant Prairie suffered significant damages on June 19, 2009 from heavy rain, wind, and power outages. Nearly all neighborhoods in the Village were impacted by flooding of homes with either storm water or sanitary sewerage backup. The Village President is requesting that Pleasant Prairie receive disaster assistance from the State of Wisconsin and FEMA to assist affected residents in recovering from this storm. In order to have the declaration made in a timely manner the Village needs to know the following information:1. Did you suffer major damage as a result of the June 19 storm? Major damage is defined as two or more feet of flooding on your first floor and/or structural damage to your home; collapsed basement walls.2. How much water was in your basement? Was it sewerage or storm water? How deep was it?3. What is the dollar loss you have suffered that is not insured?Please call the Pleasant Prairie Public Works Department at 262/925-6700 to report your damages. You may also email your information to utilitydept@plprairie.com. An inspection by the building inspection department may need to be scheduled to assist you in evaluating the structural damage that your home has sustained. It is important for residents that did suffer damage to contact the Village as soon as possible. If you have any additional questions, you can reach me at 262/925-6721.Michael R.

1. No damage
2. No water in basement.
3. No dollar loss.

How about a little personal responsibility? Why do we turn to the Feds for this? Get insurance and/or pay for your own damages.

You're asking to use my tax dollars to bail out (literally) your basement. Get a job and fix it yourself.

Commies.

I already have the maximum coverage my homeowner's insurance provides... $5,000. I probably have $20,000 in losses. I've been out of work since the beginning of April, busting my tail to try to find a new job. My previous employer screwed up things so that I haven't had an unemployment check for the last month (it should finally be fixed next week). Wanna come over and call me a commie to my face, a$$hole?

Another story where everyones else is screwed up. Homeowners insurance is as good as you purchase, you picked a bad ins company. Point that was being made is were are not a socialist country (yet). We are not a spread the wealth nation (yet). A person has to work at getting ahead, they are not entitled (yet).
