Patrick Drinan Pats Self on Back- Sheboygan Groans

The following is a monthly business column for The Sheboygan Press by Patrick Drinan, executive director of the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation, I’m not sure if he’s double dipping or if this is a press release from the taxpayer funded corporation, either way, i’ll reprint it here for purposes of education.

In August 2009, the Sheboygan Development Corporation amended its articles of incorporation, and the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation emerged as a new private/public nonprofit organization with a countywide focus and representation.

In 2010, the SCEDC established an aggressive five-year strategic plan. Our strategic goals are to support creation and retention of 3,500 jobs and to assist businesses in activities that will bring $100 million in new capital investments to Sheboygan County by 2014. Continue reading

Weird Local Blogger Takes Pictures – Gets Chided

Here’s my, hey, maybe I should read what I write before posting it comment on my local newspaper of records story on Asher and Bob’s time on big Chicago radio.

Yes, it is true that unlike many of The Press staff, I live in Sheboygan, not the greater Milwaukee area. Yet, I’m not a photographer. I’m a photojournalist, and the difference is dramatic enough that an entire profession of highly skilled visual journalists work under the banner.

Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan & Joran van der Sloot

Tonight: Joran van der Sloot in his own words & can city recall mayor because of alcoholism?

Dr. Drew is live tonight! He and his guests will examine admitted murderer Joran van der Sloot’s handwriting samples in which the killer reveals his thoughts about Natalee Holloway, gambling, and former girlfriends.

And citizens of a town in Wisconsin are trying to recall the mayor who has alcoholism. Mayor Bob Ryan and his wife Mary join Dr. Drew to discuss his public behavior and if it’s grounds for losing his job. Dr. Drew  will define what “problem drinking” is and how you can help those who suffer from it.

Daniel Baldwin vs Jeff Conaway – Celebrity Rehab – “unbeknownst”

Watch Dr. Drew tonight and every weeknight at 9 on HLN.

This would be like Richard Nixon appearing with Charles Manson to discuss Watergate on the David Frost show. Great warmup for my trip toWGN studios in Chicago to watch Asher Heimermann discuss the Sheboygan Mayoral recall with Jonathon Brandmeier. You can listen to the show live here. He will be featured between 8 and 9. I’m there as a journalist:)

I listened to this dude from the 70′s  in Wisconsin to the 80′s while I was the king of all media in Freeport, Illinois. Should be fun, I think Rod Blagojevich and Danny Bonaduce will be joining us*

*I’m clueless

Danger – Schwoerer Campaign Running on Thin Ice

“@shevegas ..and your point is?”

“Can you link me to this promise? Between record temp.s & routine rink maintenance this seems like sensationalism, not journalism”

@timgorges Your link is here, a Sheboygan leader must see reality sheboyganpress.com/article/201201… Schwoerer for Mayor  post.ly/4sJGU

I didn’t enjoy the uninformed swipe at me in the comments of this article either.

“Does it seem too warm for an ice skating rink? Nonsense, according to Harbor Centre Business Improvement District manager Randy Schwoerer.”

“Technically, it’s ready now,” Schwoerer said Wednesday afternoon.

Technically? Let’s talk reality, this is a minor issue, why make it a big one, silly human pride?“Every day was anywhere from 10 to 100,” Schwoerer said. “Whenever you drove by it, unless the wind or weather was extremely cold, there was somebody skating on it.”

These quotes belong to The Sheboygan Press, I’m kinda sorta stealing them in a legal way, it’s called fair use, they do the same. Help fight SOPA & PIPA

I’m not against the rink, I’m against people claiming success where it is at best questionable. If this is what you pin your hat to, don’t blame me when the wind blows it off, you can expect me to point out that: The Emperor has no Ice.

Nothing personal Tim, politics is simply business.

Asher did tell me he wasn’t going to be at the debate because of the snow, I guess he meant it. He also told me repeatedly that he wasn’t voting for his bad self, he was voting for Randy Schwoerer. In fact Asher said he had already written a letter of support.

I never asked, I was enjoying my Hamburger (MKOP & B) with the works at Sheboygan Hamburger heavyweight Charcoal Inn Wednesday night.
