Election Results Thread

9:50 They're calling it for Burmaster. Looks like she may beat her primary number--and the primary was a rout. They're also calling the state-wide question in favor of four-year terms for county officials. I had no horse in that race, though I voted no, just on the theory that elected officials ought to be frequently accountable to their constituents.

It also looks like Charlene Hardin will cruise to a win on the School Board; Peter Blewett is ahead but it's close. There are no results yet in the key race of Hagen vs. the evil, evil privatizing-nut Goldberg. That's making me tense.

10:50 Blewett's still winning (yay), but with 49% counted, Hagen is down 48-52. But that's only 100 votes . . .

11:10 Blewett's won, but Hagen's lost. i was right that it would be the key. Tomorrow I will comment further on this and what it means both for your humble folkbum (the private sector may start looking more attractive soon) and for the Milwaukee Public Schools. The short answer is that Goldberg will be sure to keep sending his TALC cronies your tax dollars to implement reforms no one thinks will work and no one but those getting rich want to see.

Also, Halbrooks is making a good fight against Hill. Again, no horse for me in that race, just interesting to watch the margin shrinking . . .

And Walker lost his advisor referendum. Good. His plan being unconstutional, and all.

Wednesday morning On the other hand, the day was not a total loss for Hagen. But, wow, he was unjustly passed over for promotion 15 times? Wow.

I'm getting my results here.
