Wonderful! Keep it up. P.S. Where could I find that building on your last pic on the far left?

Gov. Walker released the details of his Budget Repair Bill directed at addressing the state’s budget crisis. The bill, and some of its details, has been highly publicized. On Feb. 25, 2011, Assembly Republicans passed the bill. It is unknown when the Senate will vote on the bill. Regardless of one’s political bent, there is no question that the bill, if made law, will significantly change the landscape of public-sector employment in Wisconsin. It will take time for covered employers and employees to adjust to the changes mandated by the bill. However, the bill, if made law, will require covered employers to rapidly implement some of its provisions. According to Gov. Walker, the proposed changes are necessary to avoid massive public-sector layoffs. His office has supplied various data in support of the bill. Many have challenged the basis and need for the proposed changes, as evidenced by historic protest levels in recent weeks. The Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC) is the state agency that would primarily administer and enforce changes impacting public-sector employees. According to WERC General Counsel Peter Davis, the bill could impact as many as 200,000 public-sector employees in 2,000 collective bargaining units across the state. Wisconsin is in the national spotlight with many states thinking about similar cuts. Because this is a nationwide concern I'm curious, what do fellow Simtropians think about this?

Let today be marked down in the history books. Wisconsin has officially done away with collective bargaining for all public employees (excluding police and firefighters). As the protests continue and recall of senators begin what now? What will become of Wisconsin? What will become of this country if other states pass similar "budget bills"? This country has established Unions and workers justice for reasons obvious to man but know it seems the tables have turned. I'm asking fellow Simtropians: What will the future hold for this country?

I'm listening to you and I agree

I live in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, USA, a small community with the village and town combining to about 15,000 people. It is about 30 minutes from Milwaukee. Many natural attractions are available including the Mukwonago River and Phantom Lake which is one of the cleanest waterbeds in the Midwest and provides important habitat for rare fish and mussels. The surrounding landscape is home to a wide array of native plants and wildlife, including sandhill cranes, tree frogs, mink, red fox, butterflies and dragonflies This area is also known for the Vernon Wildlife Area which is a 4655 acre property which consists of mostly wetlands/flowages with the Fox River snaking through along with calcareous fen that also is present on the south side. It offers excellent wildlife habitat, especially for migrating and nesting waterfowl. Mukwonago also is close to the Alpine Valley Ski Resort which offers skiing, golfing and summertime concerts with yearly appearances from the Dave Matthews Band, Jimmy Buffet, Coldplay, and others

Usually it makes 6 big pancakes but 1 massive pancake would be delicious if you could find a pan big enough and a spatula big enough!

Well I would have a favorite Nuclear Power Plant but unfortunatly Wisconsin only has two because the state government thinks....well they don't think. Anyways, I would have to say the Point Beach Power Plant in WI.
