UNION GROVE â Peter Hansen, a business owner who rose to the highest levels of Racine County government, is being remembered as a selfless public servant.
Hansen, who served more than 30 years in local and county government, including as county board chairman and county executive, died April 27 at the age of 72 following a three-year battle with cancer.
In recognition of Hansenâs years of service, county officials are considering renaming the County Board meeting room as the the Peter L. Hansen Racine County Board Chambers.
Just two days before Hansen died, he was visited at his home in Union Grove by a whoâs who of Racine County politics, including County Executive Jonathan Delagrave, who told Hansen of the proposed renaming honor.

MOUNT PLEASANT â Real Racine, Racine Countyâs visitorâs bureau, is accusing the Village of Mount Pleasant of illegally spending the hotel room taxes it has collected this year.
Under state law, municipalities are allowed to collect a tax of up to 8% on hotel room rentals. Of that revenue, at least 70% must be spent on âtourism promotion and tourism development,â with the rest being able to be added to a cityâs/townâs/villageâs general fund.
At the end of 2020, the Village of Mount Pleasant ended its contract with Real Racine â in which it paid 75% of its room taxes to the visitorâs bureau â but has continued collecting room taxes.
