    Sub Zero lays them off, then hires them back. Its like the Boy who cries wolf once a year…

    Guess I missed that: “The state’s 14,600 lost jobs in November not only led the nation but reflected the fifth straight month of declines in the job market.”

    So I guess if we had a different governor, we’d be adding jobs left and right? I work in the industry and see businesses closing every single day, recovery takes time.

    Your right it does take time, but I remember a promise of 250,000 new jobs in four years for the private sector. Looks like we got 236,000 to go.. Right on schedule…;-)

    So a recall election takes place, Walker is out, then what?

    I have yet so see a candidate for the Democrats that could beat Walker. Kathleen Falk, really?! After all, she did such good things for Dane County… :sick: What will a democrat governor change? The answer is nothing, then the supporters will be pissed. And let’s not talk about all the money this recall effort is costing THE TAXPAYER.

    Bottom line is we elect officals for a term. If they don’t satisfy, they are voted out at the next election. The recall effort just shows when you don’t get your way you can dissolve democracy. I’m so sick of this recall stuff and the pissant protesters/signature collectors. I’m also sick of the protesters taking a dump in the capital rotunda when there mama’s potty trained them long ago. But, if I didn’t speak my mind and call all the libtards mouthbreathers, Paul Underwood wouldn’t be able to send emails to DDHemi calling me an asshole. His day is coming 😆

    Sub-Zero To Lay Off 100 Madison Employees

    Channel 3000 Story

    I talked to a friend who was laid off from Sub Zero last night. He told me this was an old story they re-aired. The Madison plant has been virtually empty since last year. When the announcement was made they were moving to Texas. He said they only moved the custom builds to Texas, they were making about 13 custom refrigerators a week. Also the Fitchburg plant is hiring and has mandatory overtime in place because they are so busy. So looks like good news for some..;-)

    Mining bill defeated in a move that was totally political, 3100 good paying jobs lost, because one party wanted to make sure that the gov. looks bad.

    The end result is that the 3100 people/familys who could have good paying jobs are the real losers.

    The enviroment didn’t have a thing to do with it, this company has been mining in MN for years with no problems.

    It is too bad about the jobs, had the bill passed another big loser would of been the environment.

    Had the bill been defeated by…………lets say half democrats and half republicans or even 2/3’s 1/3, voting no,then I would say that it was a enviromental issue, this was purely politcs.

    As I said before, they have been mining in MN for years with no problems.

    I hope those same enviromental issues come up should Falk win and bring this back to life. It would be ironic if all of a sudden all the dems voted yes and all the repubilcans voted no.

    They can still open the mine, they just have to follow the existing rules.
