  1. Why are all of you goofy liberals so obsessed with the Hoan Bridge? It's a bad idea to bike on it, just like it's a bad idea to run half marathons on it in the middle of summer. And besides, we don't have the money to do this. When are you going to get it through your dense skulls that our government is nearly broke and there are much more important things to spend our money on than opening up the Hoan Bridge to a bunch of crazy cyclists? You guys live in your own that is completely out of touch with reality.

  2. And on a day with a wind advisory in effect no less. You East Side idiots deserve who you elect.
  3. Chis Larsen is the biggest joke of a politician I have ever come across.
    Even my far left friends think this bike path is a complete waste! The funny thing is that Milwaukee is one of the poorest cities in the nation, but we need a bike path! Liberals have completely ruined this great city!

  4. Have him take a test ride over it today to get a preview of coming attractions. Memo might want to take a parachute with you.
  5. Larson has quite a bit of OCD regarding a bike path on the Hoan bridge......that's for sure
  6. Do you mean "Chris the Shoplifter" Larson?

    So much integrity in the Democratic party these days. Maybe he stole the paper for the petitions....

  7. I think what needs to be determined here is money we can not afford to continue to provide money to MPS or to Seniors, or Insurance for families I certainly think we can take the low road of cost deeming it is necessary to improve the Hoan Bridge. One other thoguht is the danger of pedestrians riding bikes on a highway where the speed and wind could cause tragedy. I dont get why we need to do anything unless it needs to be worked on do to repairs.

  8. its a great idea, but bottom line its too expensive.
  9. what do you expect from a stupid dumb s lib
    could he please go to il
  10. larson is nothing but a dumb s .
  11. Why would they waste up to $94 million to provide a bike path that a very limited number of people would use, not to mention pedestrians? Oh I forgot, it's like Tom Barret's trolley. "Let us spend, let us spend, let us spend". (sung to Let it Snow)
  12. Recall Larson!
  13. If Walker or a republican were proposing this the headline would be "Walker wants to take $95M from programs for Grandma and give it to rich bikers".

    Why is is any different for a Liberal to do the same thing?
  14. The petition settles it. If 0.84% of the population of Milwaukee wants a bike path on the Hoan, then we must build it no matter what the true cost will be.
  15. Well heck, how much money have these 5000 contributed to the path or to Larson?
  16. Common sense and rational thinking, don't knock it till you try it!
  17. Larson, Why don't you build a bike path from your house to IL, go for a ride and NEVER come back!! Seriously, either do something useful while in office or get out!!
  18. Does sticky fingers Chris Larson have money stuck to his hands to pay for it?

    How about a bike toll lane?

  19. Are Chris' Illinois constituents allowed to sign his petition?
  20. Mootch Larson did not ride his bike to Illinois when he shirked his legislative duties. Now he wants to screw the citizens again to the tune of nearly $100 million. Mabe a driver will bump his bike and give him a free ride to the pavement below or to a nice water landing where he will be happy swimming with the effluent
  21. Hopefully all of those posting in opposition are emailing it to Ms. Gellings.
  22. You conservs are funny,it's to expensive,it's to windy,nobody will use it,let em try riding on it today,really? How many bikes do you see out today anywhere,now go unpucker your butt and move along.
  23. How are we paying the $95 million again?

    Anyone realize how windy it gets up there?

    Anyone figure out how many people would really use this on a daily basis? I'm guessing very few at night. much in taxes do people who can use it during the day really pay?
    Oh wait...that's right...we should raise taxes on say....Johnsonville Sausage and companies like them to cough up $95 million for this project.

  24. big waste of money.... im an avid biker and will still go through the city... larson doesnt care about where the money comes from, he just wants to spend for his libby friends.
  25. You don't have to be a conservative or a pig to recognize a pork barrel.
