Appleton, WI News Updates

Appleton City Council Update: June 28, 2026

The Appleton Public Arts Committee will meet to consider a request to approve a Peace Pole in Ellen Kort Peace Park.  The pole says "May Peace Prevail on Earth" (in several languages) and is made to the standard of many others that have been installed worldwide after a Japanese gentleman was inspired to create it post-World War II after the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. 

Assumptions Based on Questions Never Asked Is Not Good Government

Our town government exists to serve our residents. Direction regarding development in the town should, therefore, come from residents. Our town government should take the time to understand the true wishes of our current Grand Chute residents, as a whole, before embarking on municipal building projects and a housing initiative that may be inconsistent with those wishes.

Education and A.I. Continued

Before any A.I. technology can be introduced to and used by students, a required course, A.I Ethics 101 would need to be both required and passed by every student in order to continue. A.I Ethics 201, a more detailed version of 101, should be required the second year. After that, a more advanced A.I. Ethics class should be offered for those who want to specialize in A.I. applications.

Thrivent TID Is a Pancake with Two Sides

I have questions about the Wilden Portfolio Park development (at Thrivent) and the proposal that Appleton create a 14th Tax Incremental District (TID) to help incentivize this development. The Appleton City Council should consider both sides of this pancake. The colorful sprinkles presented by Thrivent’s request to create a Tax ID are all obtainable without a TID.

A Door-Knocking Conversation

In the end, we agreed that we had different political views and that they wouldn’t sign my paperwork. We wished each other a Merry Christmas and shook hands. I left the conversation stating that this was why I had a Charlie Kirk sign. We were able to have a frank exchange of ideas, not get upset with each other and still part on good terms.

Parasites Taking Over the Democrat Party

Democrats' relentless will to power at first blinded them to the parasites in their midst. We have watched as a once sane and responsible party steadily deteriorated into a fanatical, violent, and intolerant mob that condones violence and supports censorship. Just this week an Outagamie Democrat Party member (Teha Delaruelle) posted a video encouraging death upon Republicans.

IRG Sues DPI Over Wisconsin Dells $368,885 Secret Meeting

The Institute for Reforming Government (IRG) is taking the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to court. The lawsuit asks the court to declare the secret meeting held in the Wisconsin Dells violated Wisconsin’s Open Meetings Law and to void any actions DPI took as a result of the conference committees’ “recommendations.”

“The key to wisdom is this: constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question, by questioning we arrive at the truth.”
