I'm glad that something useful is happening to the Delphi property. I hope that they restore the dome and place it right in the middle of Drexel Town Square (for if it wasn't for that little bit of history, Oak Creek who have struggled for growth). So, lets include this historic piece which helped make the Apollo the space program so successful and Oak Creek prosper. It would also be a reminder for all those who had worked at Delphi, from the very beginning to the end, that they were and still are an important part of Oak Creek's new stage of growing and development for the community. I know I would be proud of that as a former Delphi employee.

Stay classy David. It's a ceremony for Oak Creek....not for you and it is at a church. Oh, that's right........

Seriously David, you have your Recall election. Do you realize that Walker just ignores the protestors and that if you do get on the news....a majority of mature citizens look at YOU with digust, not the governor. There will be people there that want to hear what our politicians have to say, regardless of personal beliefs. I would have never thought of interrupting a charity walk or event that Diamond Jim Doyle was speaking at. Do you know why? I was not raised to be an entitled, loudmouth crybaby. Have a wonderful day.

David in OC
I hope you will be ready to accept the winner of the re-election of our best Governor in years, Mr. Scott Walker. Oh yeah maybe you Liberals will try another recall and try and cost the state millions again. What a bunch of cry babies you and your clan is. I like many of my fellow OC homeowners were very happy to see our taxes go now.

I wasn't going to go....but I will be there with you Mike!

Your property taxes went down??? you might want to check your tax bill. Mine went up almost $75 despite my house being reassessed almost $20,000 less than the previous year.

Our tax bill went down because our property value is less. Thanks George Bush for this economy that sunk so low even Obama had a hard time pulling us up.

And thank you democrats for creating the whole banking mess.

The real OC . You must not live in Oak Creek , I do .My property taxes went up last year and the year before and I am sure they will increase again this year. I am happy for this land to be developed . I am not happy that once again the needs of some over shadow the needs of many. This may not be the venue for a political rally but Walker was a mistake and now we need to correct it by getting him out of office.

I live in Oak Creek, and I'm well aware of my property taxes. They went down $900 this year, and many of my neighbor's bills went down very significantly. When politicians get it right, I'm going to give them credit!

Mine went down $130....but MATC and city of Milwaukee went UP....see the connection???

Jill, I live in Oak Creek. I got my reassessment, and the value of my house went down $20,000, Which should mean that I should pay less in property taxes; after that waited for my property tax bill. When I got my property tax bill I pulled out my property tax bill from the previous year (property tax bills list assessed home value) and compared them...my taxes went up despite a lower valued reassessment.

F.Y.I. I'm not stupid, and I know how taxes work.

Also Jill, MATC is not a separate city. MATC = Milwaukee Area Technical College pays property taxes to Oak creek, so if their taxes went up, then Oak Creeks property tax rates went up...See the connection?

MATC does not pay any property tax

And Bayshore is bad? Whats your idea of good? Walmart?

Randy my husband and I both work, hold degrees, have a beautiful home and put 3 kids through college . My husband retired from Delphi with 30 yrs and now has a full time job . We do not sponge off anyone and I am so tired of Walkers arrogant attitude, his lies and him putting his rich buddies before the people of Wisconsin. Delphi was a union shop and for him to be there at the ceremony was an insult . I was pro Walker at first but the more he went on the more i regretted it. We have him working on behalf of the rich and then Dems wanting to hand over our money to every low income program that comes along. I wish there was a medium.

Well keep doing a good job and you will be recognized.

This is so much better than that useless insert JS puts out on Wednesday. Who cares what the news is in Greendale. Oak Creek news is practically non existent in that section.

@jack ryan .... i too enjoy the oc patch, it has been a great source for local information. however in the last two weeks i have been extremely disappointed. this current article implies that the event on drexel is open to the public and when i tried to attend i was denied access by the ocpd (they told me it was invitation only). last week walker was at kei in oc and the patch incorrectly listed the address as w. rawson ave when in fact kei is on e. rawson ave.
