Look for Appleton Wisconsin in future rankings. They have a leftist rag for a newspaper (at least, the editors are leftists) and just enacted a smoking ban in the city that is driving dozens of bars and restaurants out of business.

Racine, Wisconsin has a very high teen crime rate. To cut back on the teen crime rate in Racine, instead of backing tougher law enforcement, the editor of the local rag suggested a new and worse version of the Great Society, liberalism's biggest failure to date.

He had a ten point plan, which I won't go into detail here (because I can't remember every point for one thing), but it advocated things like mandatory twenty percent jobs hiring and automatic promotions for all minorities. The motto of Racine could be "Commit a Crime, Get a Job and a Promotion". Most of the other points were about as bad. Nowhere did he advocate tougher law enforcement. I threw my local liberal rag, which had reprinted the article, down in disgust.
