July 13 Village Board Meeting

    The Kronenwetter Village Board is ONCE AGAIN going into closed session on July 13 for the purpose, Joling claims, of "final further redactions" related to an open records request for a report on a special investigation initially into Administrator James Davel's alleged questionable conduct. They just did "final redactions" on June 22. Now it's "final further redactions"? What next - "final further redactions Part 3, the Sequel?"     Joling, Coyle, Stowell, and I believe Davel, have made public statements starting in March, about how this report is going to justify their accusations about how Trustee Sorensen "caused this whole investigation", and then "interfered" with it, and anything else they came up with. It all looked like dirty politics and false accusations to me, but now, when it comes to "put up or shut up" with an actual report that says what they said it says, they create delay after delay.    ...

The Investigation Part 2.5 - Open Records Antics

Be sure to check out my other recent posts!   A4 I have a few questions about the latest (June 22) Village Board meeting. They have to do with my observations of: Another apparently illegal closed session meeting among a list of others. Extraordinary commandeering by the Village Board of the Village Clerk's duties as records custodian for questionable purposes. The Board's redaction of records without providing a legal reason. Joling's history of opposition to Open Records and Open Meetings. The Village Board firing an employee in almost the most inept, lawsuit-inviting manner possible. More incompetence, more lawlessness, more weak, failed leadership (all alleged). It looks to me, like the Village Board led by President Dan Joling has conducted   yet another illegal closed session   to conduct business that has not been properly disclosed to the public. It appears to me that this habit of his has been going on   consistently   ever since he has been appoin...

The Investigation Part 1.1 Upgrade - Something Wicked this way Comes

Be sure to check my other posts on this site! 1/rz The Investigation Part 1 The key takeaway information in this report is: The current $40,000 "third-party investigation" appears to have had no apparent legitimate purpose. There was no "complaint"   other than some unseen, apparently fictionalized one conjured up by President Joling. Joling apparently initiated the process of an investigation without informing the Village Board. To the extent that there might need to be a dispute resolution of some kind, Joling appears to have  ignored the policy procedures directed in the Employee Handbook. Dan Joling    appears to have directed the course of the investigation as it took place ; providing documents and questions for the interviewees, he also was a witness and I would say a "person of interest" allegedly being responsible for a gross waste of taxpayer money.  It appears that h e   had a  clear personal stake in the outcome of the investigation. The cl...
