@DanielBice Technically, he represents the city. He might also represent individual council members when their interests are aligned with those of the city. However, the city is his client

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she was 26 when she moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she saw Germany swiftly progress from democracy to fascist dictatorship 1/9

@TimVertzWI And yet, his support has not always meant victory.

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

@JDawson_inVA @flashlites @BeschlossDC Yes, I should not have put the number 50.

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

@flashlites @JDawson_inVA @BeschlossDC The electoral college is part of a broader philosophy of ensuring government at the state level has at least equal standing as the federal government, and Democratic states have long benefitted as well from that (e.g. CA emissions standards, early 20th C farm subsidies, etc.).

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

@JDawson_inVA @flashlites @BeschlossDC Because our country was designed to be 50 states, not one overriding, all powerful government with multiple levels of local governments that report to the central government. States are supposed to choose their own voting rules except as specified in the Constitution.

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

@JDawson_inVA @flashlites @BeschlossDC The electoral college is an American innovation that ensures people across the country have a voice. For much of our history, it has favored Dems. Now that it doesn't, you want to do away with it. There's hypocrisy and a failure to understand history on both sides of the aisle.

For those of you who ever doubted animals have a sense of humor. 🐵 🤣

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

@TimVertzWI Agreed. I have no respect for him as a person. But I love watching him.

@PArepat1981 @waltshaub There are hundreds of examples of the rise of authoritarianism, all terrible. Using this example demonstrates a lack of perspective and historical ignorance. It discredits the argument.

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

@PArepat1981 @waltshaub Really? What is happening here and now is comparable to the systematic murder of 7 million, the cessation of all civil rights and the death of another 70 million in the world's largest armed conflict?

I know I speak for everyone in Mequon in extending our prayers to our neighbors in Waukesha and the families of the victims of yesterday's horrific crime.

Another in a long line of examples of the revolving door for the habitually criminal and violent. It must stop.

4. We need to work to rehabilitate the damage to the reputation of our schools and our community.
5. The City needs to promptly fix its sign code. We can protect civil liberties while ensuring that we do not repeat this mess. Signs do not belong in public places.

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

I trust that we all can learn something from this recall election.
1. Process and order matter.
2. The Board should recognize that 40% voted for change - far from a majority, but they should take note that there are concerns. Listen, think about them and alleviate them.

[Wirth4Mequon @Wirth4Mequon]

3. The challengers should recognize that we have a great school system, even if flawed in their opinion. We all benefit from that system, both from the achievements of Homestead graduates and from the value people place in the reputation of our schools.
