Dear Board of County Supervisors,
It is
very disconcerting when MTP Village President (David DeGroot) and Board
Members completely abrogate their promises, contracts, policies, and
procedures; which it has previously delivered/instituted in dealing with
Residents - especially in relation to the proposed Foxconn Development;
to deal in bad faith with displaced Residents, especially in regards to
those with disabilities/fixed incomes/minors.
To Wit:
FORMER MT. PLEASANT OFFICIALS CALL FOR RELOCATION BENEFITS TO BE REINSTATED FOR FOXCONN FAMILY - CONDEMN CRUEL BROKEN PROMISES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Mount Pleasant Village Trustees,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Mount Pleasant Village Trustees,
We, the below signed, have come together with our combined years of
public service to urge the village board to do the right thing and
deliver the promised relocation package to Sean McFarlane and his
family.
Mr. McFarlane and his family are suffering for no good reason. A landlord's relocation package is not tied to a tenant's relocation package, so the stance of village officials is both morally reprehensible and likely illegal, as evidenced by the investigation currently being conducted by the state Department of Administration.
Not only is the McFarlane family living in unsanitary conditions - mold, contaminated water - in a home the village provided, the village also reneged on a promise to make the home more accessible for Mr. McFarlane's wheelchair. More, the McFarlane's are now being evicted without another home to which they can move, a situation initiated by and only made possible because you - our village officials - are not following what's fair and outlined clearly under the law.
That Mr. McFarlane is disabled and has four children makes this situation especially egregious.
As elected representatives of the people of Mt. Pleasant, we wish to remind you that your primary duty is to ensure the interests of our residents. Reneging on village obligations and promises undermines the faith and trust of the public in local government.
Stop grandstanding and reinstate the McFarlane family's relocation package. Do the right - and legal - thing for them.
Sincerely,
Jerry Garski - Village President & Village Trustee (2015-2017 & 2010-2014)
Donald Schulz - Village Trustee & Town Supervisor (2013-2014 & 1993-2001)
Ken Otwaska - Village Trustee (2015-2017)
Jon Hansen - Village Trustee (2015-2017)

Playing
fair and by the rules is something which the questionably legal
government of MTP, which often operate in violation of State Statutes in
regards to Open Meeting and Records laws - just seems unable to adhere
to.
So why can't MTP Government operate transparently, truthfully, and adhere to State Statutes?
And
why Isn't Brad Schimel and his moribund WI AG office prosecuting
frequent offenders of WI State Statutes such as MTP Village President
Dave DeGroot and (retiring) Chief of Police Tim Zarzecki?
How
can Foxconn CEO Terry Gou expect MTP Government to deal in good faith
with him when MTP Government has already shown a proclivity to cheat and
beat Residents by breaking previously agreed upon contracts and
promises?
Sincerely,
