To the Editor-
In a Republic, the greatest sin is wanting to be king. We, the people, know that the battle for the Constitution is a grassroots fight against the sins of commission and omission which obliges government officials to make clear their stand on issues.
The practices of commission by Mayor Mike Wiza and the common council include deliberately discriminating against citizens as firing Ron Carlson because he is white, male, and 45-65 years old, the university owning 9 out of 11 alderperson seats, shutting out worthy citizens of background diversity to elect a university friend Mykeerah Zarazua as alder for District 4, and deliberately excluding citizen will by secretly planning projects, holding canned meetings, and then raising property taxes for their implementation as the Hwy. 51/Division Street Project.
Further, the leaders lure election fraud by installing public voting boxes, send hundreds of sex offenders/pedophiles into our neighborhoods for rehabilitation, and try to create equity for the marginalized by rezoning the city to allow more than one home built on a lot which interferes with snow/garbage/trash removal/water drainage, forces tree harvesting, interferes with emergency work, and turns city neighborhoods into slums as their “lords” fail to pay mortgages and maintenance expenses.
The practices of omission by Mayor Mike Wiza and the common council include deceiving citizens by withholding their true identity, sex, purpose, intent, organization memberships, and religious/political affiliations. These same leaders along with AECOM engineers ignore that most citizens neither want nor can afford wasteful endeavors as building roads with fake bike lanes no one uses. They distract attention from glaring problems by focusing on the paramount importance of painting fake bike lanes while refusing to disclose why AECOM, (a global company with headquarters in Europe, Greater China, India, etc.,) “chose” Stevens Point as one of their five state headquarters in Wisconsin.
Further, their deception includes avoiding discussion of term limits which prevent seniority and senility, allowing candidates to run unopposed, ignoring the wisdom of candidates establishing themselves in the community before running for an office, and refusing to set an alderperson resignation deadline of September.
Last summer, the leaders passively let Supervisor (Chai) Moua verbally curse our police and scream for the financial defunding of their department when it is our courts that decide guilt, not county supervisors.
The childish stonewalling of not answering emails, letters, and phone calls are almost as unacceptable as their lack of interest in census reports that Wisconsin citizens are moving out of the city, county, and state while Tommy Thompson writes that university graduates stay in Wisconsin.
The most damaging practice of omission to our constitutional republic is allowing alder persons and supervisors to simultaneously hold offices on the county board and city common council as Tony Patton (former District 7 Councilman), Mayor Mike Wiza, and currently Meleesa Johnson. Why is this a good idea?
Wisconsin outdrinks the nation in beer resulting in a high percentage of alcoholics and drug addicts. The City of Milwaukee is known nationwide as the Harvard School of Prostitution where the mob sends pimps for classes. Portage County, Wisconsin is part of this culture.
May you consider Vermont a four-season state whose #1 attraction is a low crime rate, less pollution, has one of the highest percentages of Caucasians, has “Death With Dignity” for terminally ill patients, hometown pride, fresh food, and the kids have good behavior and manners.
We, the people, want a path back to honesty, transparency, and a Constitutional Republic.
