West Bend School District - Defying Walker? Shenanigans? You decide.

As you may recall, there was quite an uproar over the alleged "broken grommet" of the flag at Badger Middle School in mid February.  (This is the newest flag and flagpole in the District; the one that was paid for out of the referendum cash.)  You can refresh your memory HERE  

Since that time, numerous inquiries were sent to Supt. Ted Neitzke via Eagle Forum of Wisconsin-Washington County (EFWC).  Here is what was learned:

1.  Neitzke initially told talk radio show host, Mark Belling, that he knew nothing of the incident, but backpeddled and responded that the people had witnessed the problem as early as Sunday from neighboring churches, and the school secretary had received numerous complaints.
2.  The broken flag in question is pictured below (WBSD photo).  As you can see, the grommet, itself is not broken.:

4.  In an email to EFWC, Neitzke stated:
"The flag will be visually inspected at the start of each day. The flags will be lowered and not flown on weekends or during holidays when there is no staff to attend to them."

Oh, really?

Here is a picture of the West Bend Police Department flag flying at half staff per Governor Walker's orders last Friday, 03/08/2012.  This is what half staff looks like.

This is a photo of the Badger Middle School flag on the same day at approximately 2:15 p.m.  So this was visually inspected that day; the day it was supposed to be at half staff.  This is NOT what half staff looks like.  Why wasn't Governor Walker's order obeyed on Friday?  Just wondering...


This is a picture of the flag on Saturday, 3/10/2012.  As Neitzke stated above, the flag would not fly on weekends....  Huh?


Continuing right along...
5.  Within 24 hours the entire school district was sent a CYA email from Neitzke that states the flag was not tampered with by anyone, and that it was simply broken, and now repaired.  No shenanigans.
6.  Video surveillance was requested from Neitzke who stated "There is no video."  In the email to EFWC, Neitzke states, "As a result of the complaint I have investigated the situation. I interviewed Principal Kurt Becker, the Badger Facility Maintenance person, the Administrative Assistant to the Principal, I reviewed the video tape and I have discussed the situation with several community members who observed the downed flag over the weekend."

So there you have it.  Lefty shenanigans?  You decide.......

Verify the Recall Searchable Database to go *LIVE* Wednesday

From Verify the Recall:


Verify The Recall (VTR) has successfully tested a program that will become a publicly accessible, online, searchable database. VTR expects to publicly launch the program during the evening of Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Recall signature data from Wisconsin's gubernatorial and state senator recalls will be made available for public scrutiny. Data from the Lieutenant Governor recall will not be included in the initial launch. VTR's program will make public information (recall signature data) acquired from the GAB available to the public in a meaningful way.

Searches may be conducted using a first name, last name, street address, city, zip code, municipality, signature date, or any combination thereof. Copies of original recall petitions can also be viewed.

VTR will launch this program to help ensure the transparency and integrity of the recall process. Any individual who discovers the fraudulent use of their name, address, an underage child's name, or a deceased relative's name will be empowered to complete an affidavit contesting the fraudulent signature. All affidavits will accompany the gubernatorial and state senator recall signature eligibility reports submitted to the GAB by VTR.

VTR has taken the initiative to open lines of communication with organizations like the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Abuse to discuss privacy concerns for protected individuals. VTR continues to accept address redaction requests from individuals with "confidential voting status" as defined under Wisconsin Statute Section 6.47. Such requests must be received by VTR by March 7, 2012. Details of how address redaction requests can be made can be found atwww.VerifyTheRecall.com. VTR will not accept redaction requests from individuals without confidential voting status.

While VTR applauds any efforts taken to make the recall process as transparent as possible, it is important to clarify that VTR is not associated or in communication with any other organizations that may choose to launch their own publicly accessible, online, searchable databases. The official VTR program will be linked to VTR's website when it is launched.

VTR issues a special "thank you" to its thousands of data entry volunteers. It is due to the incredible efforts of VTR Volunteers in recent weeks that an online, searchable database is now possible.
