Police officers and fire fighters should be added to the state's sweeping collective bargaining changes and contribute to their pensions like other public employees, Brookfield Mayor Steve Ponto told the state Joint Finance Committee Tuesday.

Ponto praised the governor and legislators for their fiscal reforms, but he urged them to make changes to the state biennial budget to lessen the blow to local governments.

The Joint Finance Committee on Tuesday began parsing through the governor's 2011-13 budget. Members said they planned to make some changes but would not increase taxes or spending.

In a letter outlining his concerns, Ponto suggested changes to provisions regarding levy limits, recycling, transportation aids, libraries and police and fire issues. He also urged funding changes to help the Elmbrook School District, saying its success is vital to the city's future.

3. Brookfield is conservanazi heaven in Waukesha County.

The greedy conservanazi is like some of the ones I know. F*ck them, I got mine. Now, he can say he's a true blue conservanazi and find no shame or hypocricy in his actions.

Typical for conservanazi and teabaggin' kkkluckers.
