The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

"RACINE, Wisconsin — James Ladwig recently took over the job of Racine County executive. ...So with the new job, Ladwig got a new set of rules for governing his county....

.... Now that unions have less of a say, local leaders like Ladwig and school officials have more options for balancing their budgets. One way Ladwig and the Racine County board  exercised this freedom is by putting volunteer inmates from the county jail to work shoveling snow from sidewalks, mowing the medians on state highways and doing landscaping. Before the Wisconsin law passed, unions blocked the move on the grounds that if the work was to be done, it had to be done by union members. Under the new law,  unions can no longer block the program....Snowplow drivers and other county employees used to get double pay, plus eight hours of comp time, for working holidays. Now they just get time-and-a-half.... "


See why the unions hate Der Fuhrer in Wisconsin and want to recall him?
