Fees and Documentation

It’s just been brought to my attention that the fee schedule set by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue is not NEARLY sufficient to appropriately compensate the Village of Fall Creek for their time and effort in producing the digital packets that I was seeking to release periodically (such as the “May and June” roundup that I’ve already released).

This is disappointing. And apparently, I’m unable to, by law, compensate the Village more appropriately for those services, as those fees are set in stone with no room to help it match the ACTUAL time and labor necessary to produce that documentation.

As such, I will no longer be seeking that documentation. Anyone else that wishes to of course can, but I’ve learned that it’s nothing more than a burden on the Village to do such a thing, so perhaps it’s something that should be saved for “special cases”, rather than being a standard regular periodic exercise.

My Primary Ballot for August 9th

The State of Wisconsin, at https://myvote.wi.gov has a FANTASTIC app built into the website that lets you pre-fill a ballot form online, and then print it out. If you do this with your phone, you have a chance to export it as a PDF. This is a GREAT public service, and I appreciate it.

Now, you should note that this is NOT an official ballot. This is merely a web form that you can then print off and bring with you to the polling place, so that you can more easily remember who you’re going to vote for. No election security concerns here!

That being said, here’s my ballot, do you have yours ready for Tuesday? Let’s make it happen!
