If you fight with the Mayor's office, you better be ready to take some lumps.
Alderman Michael Shields appears to be learning just that when he was yanked off the city's powerful Finance and Personnel Committee and reassigned as the junior-most member of the Public Works Committee.
Mayor John Dickert determines City Council members' committee assignments.
Finance is a plum assignment because it reviews any city issue involving the spending of money. That amounts to just about any major issue that comes before the council.
Dickert added two new members to the Finance Committee. City Council veteran Ron Hart and City Council newcomer Dennis Wiser were each given one-year terms on the committee.
Former Alderman Bob Anderson sat on the committee before leaving the council in April. Anderson declined to seek re-election.
Other Committees
City Council newcomer Eric Marcus was assigned to the Public Safety and Licensing Committee. He replaces Alderman Sandy Weidner, who moves to the Public Works committee.
What Bullshi-t.........disagree with the mayor and be removed from your role?!! Unbelievable.....Dickert is a loser
ReplyDeleteWhat was the nature of the dissagreement?
ReplyDeleteWell, Mr. Shields is very concerned about jobs, Public Works employs lots of people. He should learn a lot with his new assignment.lol!
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that "Spanky" is Dickert's new BFF. Mike Shield's skin is the wrong shade of white to be on that team.
ReplyDelete"Mike Shield's skin is the wrong shade of white to be on that team."
ReplyDeleteThat is a mighty big claim...anything to back it up, or just another slanderous remark on the internet?
The reason Racine Post will never be taken seriously: commentary masquerading as news. You better be ready to take some lumps? Yanked?
ReplyDeleteWait Dickert is also going to remove the members of the Cable Commission and put his followers there. The Mayor must have CAR 25 turned into Dickert is a God channel.
ReplyDeleteRacine getting to be more like Chicago.
6:21 - Honestly, we have no opinion on the mayor's decision. We're just pointing out he made one.
ReplyDeleteCan I get a job at city hall? I am not related to Mayor Dickert but my cousin once bought a house from him, doesn't that count for something? Oh, and yeah I will vote anyway that he wants me to.
ReplyDeleteAll hail Dickert. He is the man that will avenge our city losses against the evil city of Kenosha. He will bring our great city back from the ashes and unleash his fury against our enemies. You will see that Racine will encompass all of Wisconsin when his fury is felt. March forward in his name, he is our dear and great leader.
ReplyDeleteEin Folk!
ReplyDeleteEin Reich
Ein Dickert!
When you roll up on the mayor don't be suprised if you get smacked.
ReplyDeleteWell if anyone should have gone there it should have been Markus. He replace Bob Anderson. I think Dennis is a poor choice. He represented the union. They have no concept on what things actually cost.
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of people who use race as an excuse. You don't get your way, use the race card. Grow up people. They both are wrong, so what color issue is that? Yes, I'm anonymous. If I put my name in, you all would be knocking at my door because I voiced my mind.
ReplyDeleteReally wrong shade of color? You people that use the color of someones skin as an excuse is sickening. I thinks Shields should also give up being a Alderman seeing that he is President of the local NAACP. I also theink that the Racine Post web site is awesome.
ReplyDeletePolitics / elections have conaquences. I guess Shields and his cronies need to learn that. In this day and age, using race as excuse for what happens is just wrong.
ReplyDeleteI could claim that everyone is black person in Racine should support Dickert. If not, they are racist.
Anyone supporting Dickert this time around should be called STUPID and UNINFORMED rather then racist....just look around this city, Dickert has sent us worse off then when Becker was running the ship.....just sickening...
ReplyDeleteYou people sit and complain about the mayor over and over and over. I would wager that you people wouldn't do any better. Why would someone be a considered a racist if they support the mayor? I know it is all these Shields supporters saying it. I bet every one of them are members of the naacp gang.

ReplyDeleteThis is NOT about color/race! He was booted off the committee because the mayor didn't like how Shields would question things and wanted transparency. He is not my alderman, I am white, I am a conservative, and I wish he was MY alderman! He stood up to the rest, and now he's paid for being a good guy! This is BS!
ReplyDeleteWHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HIS "JOBS" PLAN TOO?
