The Community Development Committee will take up the potential approval of a $395,500 reimbursement from Thrivent for the land acquisition supposedly needed for "improvements" to the Ballard Road/Evergreen Drive intersection.  The city should not accept this reimbursement unless no strings at all are attached.  Tying this to a TID creation and Tax Incremental Financing for a large portion of the Thrivent property gives me a very sick feeling of bribery. 

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.

On Monday, July 6, Fox Valley Initiative will feature two speakers: Laura Ackmann of Moms for Liberty and Carolyn Pierre of Guardian School Consulting [invited]. Both organizations are working to protect children from sexual predators in schools. The problem of sexual misconduct by teachers and other school staff has grown in the Fox Valley and across Wisconsin.

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.

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.

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.

Earlier this year, the Wisconsin Legislature passed Assembly Bill 100 (K-12) and Assembly Bill 102 (Colleges and Universities) to save women’s sports. Although Governor Tony Evers vetoed those measures, today’s decision makes clear that states have both the authority and the responsibility to safeguard competitive fairness for female athletes.
