"RACINE - Officials think they need someone to help them work on the city's image. They're tapping 'Mr. Racine' to help in that effort.
"The city's Finance and Personnel Committee on Monday approved a 10-month, $25,000 contract with the Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce, to provide public relations services.
"The man RAMAC has picked for the job is Mark Eickhorst, dubbed 'Mr. Racine' by RAMAC President Roger Caron. Eickhorst, a former alderman and local radio personality, has earned that title before for his work throughout the community. Eickhorst has worked with RAMAC in a variety of positions. His contract would start Feb. 1. It must be approved by City Council."

After campaigning on the lie of no city administrator, Mayor John Dickert appointed his cousin to a $95,000 job as city administrator. After campaigning on the lie of a 10 year plan, Mayor John Dickert has no plan. After campaigning on the lie of jobs, Mayor John Dickert has provided no jobs, except for his cronies, paid for by taxpayers. Now we get this: $25,000 of our dollars for a mayoral public relations man.
Party on, lying John!

Everything is going to hell. Lying, cheating, more lying on ALL levels.... there is just no accountability anywhere, anymore. Unbelievable! Why can't I get smart enough to find myself on the other, lucrative side of it?
"Mr. Racine" has numerous entries on CCAP for tax warrants going back years. Thousands and thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes. Since he doesn't pay his taxes, it only makes sense that we should give him tax dollars to represent our crooked mayor.
When I read this yesterday, I snapped my radish! I even went as far as looking up wages for PR people. The range goes all the way up to $97,000+ per year. This does not include bennies! .
When you look at beanies plus wages, you are looking at another $155,200 a year job! This is $97k + 60%. 60% may be low. And I’m sure, IF the job is created he will need an office and a secretary...more money!
Why do we need a full time mayor? Fire the bum!
“The PR person's responsibilities would include coordinating all press conferences with the media; working with the mayor's office to respond to media inquiries; working with city departments on dealing with the media; and controlling "the communication of the city's vision" to the public, among other things.”
Are you fucking kidding me, do we have people running these “city departments” that are too god damn lazy to do the job themselves! Fire all of them!
‘Hi I’m the head of the street cleaning department, please tell the public we own street sweepers and we will use them this summer’!
I do have to stop there otherwise all the internet lines will go up in smoke!
yep tax warrants, been sued by the state and I'm doing my research but I think he did something quite some time ago that wasn't too smart either, just don't wanna say anything until I have the documentation.

That’s great, when you find something would you please post it, us Irregulars are “wanting to know people”!
....SER
The Public Information Officer's job is to use this on the public: http://www.jtirregulars.com/2010/01/strange-old-tool.html
Orbs...I forgot all about that, yes the perfect tool for the job.
He's also got a $20,000 deliquint tax listing on the State of Wisconsins IRS website from when he owned a bar
Maybe Mr. Racine won't be approved. I don't know if that stuff matters to the muckety-mucks. It's not criminal, but I don't think it reflects particularly well on Mr. Racine, either. I assume, though, that someone will be the Public Information Officer, offering residents of Racine more window dressing, more fluff, and more spin to the tune of $25,000 for 10 months; then they're thinking of making it a permanent position. Gee, too bad we blew 50 grand on that scrap metal monument in Uptown or we coulda got two more PR people, and three times the screwing.
