It is time to clean house and start fresh, overturn many of the previous policies that have been put into place, get rid of the unnecessary and expensive programs that don't work or are purely special interest, roll back the taxes and re-evaluate how they are spent, and restructure the roll of city hall in our lives. On a local level, this city's government is just as out-of-hand as our state and national governments are.

I give credit to someone who defends their friend, particularly when faced with credibility issues. I do not know Mr. Eickhorst. I don’t know anything about his, so called, naming himself Mr. Racine (where is the proof to back that statement up?).<br /><br />On the other hand, I can definitely understand citizens being concerned about a man being appointed to a city staff position who has outstanding tax warrants posted on Wisconsin Circuit Court Access for 2000, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009. I think Mr. Eickhorst should settle these issues before accepting the position. Tax evasion and/or tax fraud are criminal offenses and I don’t think he should hold any public office (elected or appointed) until he has settled these issues or been exonerated from them. This is not meant as attack against Mr. Eickhorst, I would make this observation concerning ANY individual under these circumstances.Grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-6267246307686468782010-01-29T04:34:55.998-06:002010-01-29T04:34:55.998-06:00I don't have a comment on Mr. Racine but want ...I don't have a comment on Mr. Racine but want to give JJ credit for voicing what many are thinking.<br />Despite knowing what may result.Saltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344744455287647554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-50722930181018508842010-01-29T03:34:52.921-06:002010-01-29T03:34:52.921-06:00Dickert probably hired the guy to help him put a g...Dickert probably hired the guy to help him put a great spin on the things he does so he can get re-elected on our dime!
