Public Comment
Misty Witenberg opposes elimination of the board of ethics. Says having special counsel will cost more than having citizen board members do it for free.
Mike Vasilko says should postpone action on the ethics proposal
Tina Paden says administrative hearing officers are biased paid by city will vote for the city.
Over the last three terms, I have supported and campaigned for Judy Fiske as 1st Ward Alderman. This election season, I will no longer be voting for Alderman Fiske.
As I look back on Alderman Fiske’s three terms, I cannot help but acknowledge how much times have changed, but I must admit that I am much more concerned with how the Alderman Fiske years feel betrayed by the hope for good governance that we experienced when we initially supported her and the reality of what we are now experiencing at the hands of the politician who governs our Ward.
