New Face on the City Council

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Barb Jacobson to the City Council as a representative of the first district. In case you don't remember Barb ran against outgoing Alder Bill Hammann 2 years ago tied him in the general election then lost in a coin flip down at city hall.

I have had the opportunity to see Barb in action as a member of both the Police Commission(which she will have to step down from as it is a citizens only board) and the Park Board. She asks tough questions and stands up for her constituents.She will be conservative with our tax dollars and bring some fresh air into the City Council as did Alder Braunschweig and Alder Jeurgens a year ago.

It will be interesting to see the new makeups of our City's boards and should be a Council meeting to attend. You know what I mean if you were there a year ago.

I would also like to thank Bill Hammann for his years of service to our community. Bill did a great job during the largest growth period of our community's history.

Congratulations Barb!

Officer Fitter was on GQ online because he is an idiot!

I have graced the pages of GQ magazine, because of the way I wear the uniform!

Let's not forget Tony Wyse, elected as a write-in from District 3 in April 2006, as another "new face" on Council. Juergens was appointed to a council vacancy in November 2005, term to expire in April 2006. Both Juergens and Braunschweig were elected in April 2006.

With Jacobson coming on, we'll have a relatively inexperienced council, with half the 8 members with roughly a year or less of experience.
