Biased Blogging

A reader wrote last week and told me how biased my blog was. Evidently she doesn’t appreciate the Town of Brookfield – or its residents.
I do like small government. Small government is more responsive (in my view) than large government. The town’s taxes are lower than the city’s. The town’s paramedics were trained by the city – and, I believe, are equally skilled.
The town has just over 6,000 residents and it hosts small-town events. The city has 40,000 residents and it hosts larger events.
Yes, I live in the Town of Brookfield. Last year, I accepted one reader’s challenge to stay in the town. I tried. I failed. The city surrounds most of the town.
Just think of the economic impact I have on the city.
