Hold them accountable

This is your chance Wisconsin.

Today is the day you hold your elected officials accountable.

From local, county and state politics, this is the voters chance to make their voices heard.

In Kenosha’s city council races, 10 of 12 incumbents are being challenged. This is a record number of incumbents being challenged.

The question you need to ask of these incumbents is:

Have they been there for you?

When you call them- do they return your phone call?

If they do return you phone call- do they listen to your concerns or dismiss them out of hand?

Did they make good decisions with your tax dollars?

Did they do enough to protect the citizens of this community?

Did they do enough to improve the infrastructure of Kenosha(ie. road repair)?

Did you know the plans that your alderman has for your district?

Have they communicated their plans to you?

Yes, Kenosha- now is your chance to hold them accountable.

And the politics continues…

Yes, the politics continues. I am down to crunch time and snow, rain, sleet, subzero temperatures and more snow has not stopped me yet.

Although- it has really slowed the process down.

I need your help.

I need lit droppers. Most of my area is filled with walking routes, so sending people out for longer than an hour is difficult to do.

So, the more people I get the faster I can get this done.

We are meeting today at 9:00 am at the Fireside Restaurant. If you cannot make it at 9:00am, I will be at the Fireside again at 1:00pm

Meeting place:

Fireside Restuarant

On Kenosha Fire Station #5

I have learned a bit more about the closing and moving of the Kenosha fire-station. According to one of our current alderman, there originally was talk about closing or moving more than the four fire stations currently on the chopping block.

So now I am even more upset about our Fire-station #5 closing.

For some reason, during the negotiations, no one bothered to get our fire station #5 off of the chopping block.

I am 100% opposed to closing and moving our fire station further away from our district.

Kenosha District #5, Ward 9, which is adjacent to this fire station, has many elderly residents living there. Literally hundreds of these residents need the fire and ambulance services to stay right where it is at.

Moving this station further away from them will only cause hardship to the people living in Ward 9.

Do endorsements matter?

The Kenosha News is asking this question- Do endorsements matter?

That is a tough question to ask.

I think to those folks actually in the groups that are endorsing a certain candidate, it matters. To everyone else, not really.

The endorsement of the UAW for Keith Bosman may help those in the UAW support a candidate. The same is true for the KEA.

What I find interesting are those that make a decision based on these endorsements. There are some folks out their who will literally turn away from a person because of an endorsement.

A couple of people I know this week saw the KEA was actually endorsing Bosman and felt that the two guys(Butler and Moran) that work for our schools were left along the side of the road.

One woman in particular switched from Bosman to Butler because they were upset with the KEA’s endorsement. The same happened with a guy that switched from Bosman to Moran.

I guess an endorsement can be both good a bad.

We will see what happens in the end.

Vote on February 19.
