ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½

JANESVILLE – The general public was asked Sunday to stay away from the southside of ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ after a tornado -- later confirmed as an EF-2 -- touched down there about 8 p.m. Saturday night.

JANESVILLE — It might never reach a city council hearing. Even as it was being introduced, a proposal to allow ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ streets to be named after living people had begun to draw public criticism, a council member who authored it says.

As a semi-retired health care lobbyist, one-time ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ City Council member and sometimes local radio talk show personality, Richard Gruber says he’d never encountered raw political partisanship by local public office seekers like he saw in the run-up to last April's election.
