15,000 Hours of Public Service

Thanks Bernie for giving Wauwatosa over 15,000 hours of Public Service.

 

Alderman spent at least 10 hours a week on city business (some even more).

 

Bernie’s been an alderman for over 30 years.   50 weeks x 30 years is 15,000 hours.

 

When people ask why don’t citizens get involved, some do and do for a long time.

 

We are very fortunate to have some long standing alderman.   Tom Treis is another

 

citizen who has been serving for a long time.

  

Thank you Bernie Grimm for your service to Wauwatosa. 

 

 

59 cent heads of lettuce at the new Woodman’s

Woodman’s, and ultra cheap grocery store is opening a new store in

Oak Creek (Howell & Forest Hill ((between Dexell and Puetz).

 

Why should you care??

 

Woodman, is like Pick & Save but with better selection and much cheaper prices.

You don’t have to get 24 cans of tomato sauce to get a better price (Sams)

 

If you are spending over $200/week on groceries, take a ride down to Oak Creek (25 minutes) and see for yourself. Take a friend and rideshare.

 

Here's a sample of prices:   $2.69  for 1% milk,  apples (all) $.99/lb,  Strawberries 2/$3 (Quart size) Tlipida (fish)  $2.99/lb frozen, 100% whole wheat breads $2.49.   Florida corn  4/$1   Green Grapes $.99/lbGreat select and they sell reusable bags for $1.25/bags.Only bad thing is longer lines and no credit cards.  

Speaking of $$$,   I am voting for the firestation.   I probably would not have voted yes for it ($12.5 million), but because the city compromised and knocked it down to $11.5 million, it made it more affordable.

 

 I think it’s a good deal for something we need. 

 

Thanks to the Alderman, Birchscel, Hanson, Donegan, Didier, Grimm, Ewerdt & Herzog for not writing a blank check on the Firestation and making it so I can vote yes.

 

I always love a deal:)
