The Milwaukee County board is discovering something any regular parks user knows: many bathrooms are in bad shape. I’m sure some people will blame this on Scott Walker. But the fact is Tom Ament and his board cronies were letting these facilities deteriorate while considering free needles for addicts and voting themselves fat pensions. Those fat pensions are crippling our budget and leave Mr. Walker with few options.
I don’t know what the proper solution to fixing up the parks is. But I smirk when I hear the idea of naming rights in bathrooms as suggested by Supervisor Coggs in this article. What company would shell out $500 to put its name on a urinal? Doesn’t Kohler already have that covered?
I personally like the idea of naming the facilities after politicians. The Lee Holloway toilet has a nicer ring to it. Don’t forget to wash your hands in the Michael McGee sink. Just don’t drop the soap.
