Actually, as radar approach control facilities go, Milwaukee approach is rather atypical. It's the culture there, rigid adherence to cumbersome, unnecessary procedures that preclude the provision of good ATC service.

I think you just make my point !!!
How so?

Did you mean what is currently called "FISK 'approach' " ?
No, I meant Milwaukee approach. You wrote, "There is very big difference between Milwaukee Approach, and the services provided by the VFR Controllers at Fisk." That implies you've experienced the services provided by Milwaukee approach.

FISK provided non-positive Control for VFR aircraft, without Radar assistance.
That is so different from APPROACH Controlling, that my point was, it should be called something different, to make it clearer what services they are providing.
ie "Fisk CONTROL"
Well, positive control of VFR aircraft would require establishing Class B airspace, that aint gonna happen.

We could also open this discussion up to the Liability involved with the current system of Fisk Controlling.
I'm game, I don't see it as an issue.

Would be intereted in the opinions of any FAA Controllers reading this post.
As I type this post, I am taking to one over MSN, and he has some very strong concerns about the procedures at Fisk.
Ron: As an "Air Traffic Controller", how would YOU describe the Control Function at Fisk ?
I would describe it as superior to the situation that preceded it, and I have yet to hear a superior alternative to it.
