The K Report

 Be sure to hit the "other posts" button at the end of this article to see other issues facing us as we strive for open, honest, Kronenwetter government.    In the previous two posts I first covered my original rebuttal of the von Briesen report, that was intended for the Village Board and Village Attorney to read before the Aug 26, 2024 Board meeting.  https://kencharneskireport.blogspot.com/2026/04/part-1-fyi-von-briesen-report-august.html   Part 2 gave extensive information regarding how my political enemies Coyle, Vedvik, Voll, etc effectively misappropriated $67,000 of your tax money in an attempt to find wrongdoing on my part.  https://kencharneskireport.blogspot.com/2026/04/part-2-fyi-von-briesen-report.html    Much of this was also covered last year in two posts on this site:  https://kencharneskireport.blogspot.com/2025/02/unbelievable-chris-volls-von-briesen.html https://kencharneskireport.blogspot.com/2025/03/chris-volls-and-aaron-...

  Background 8 years as Kronenwetter trustee. Numerous chairmanships, etc. Why are you running for the Kronenwetter Village Board, and what perspectives or experiences would guide your approach to the role? As a life-long resident of Kronenwetter, my perspective has always been to advocate for the rights, best interests, and overall good of the taxpayers who live here. I stay independent of cliques or other little special interest groups. I never thought of myself as working for "the village", but instead, I work for the benefit of the people first and foremost. In other words, while I often work with staff, Board members or committees on a positive basis, when the interests of the Village administration, employees, or Village "establishment" conflicts with transparency, rights, benefits or other obligations to the people, it is the benefit to the people that is my priority. This is not always an easy position to maintain, but it is one of th...

        With each election there seems to come out of the woodwork a fabricated "new issue" for my enemies on the political left to magnify and dramatize.     This year, they have dredged up the "von Briesen Report" as their hope for a smear campaign, because apparently it is the best they can come up with.   This is Part 2 of three posts regarding the lack of factual basis  for the von B report, and its.     In this part, we look at the information discussed at the March 24, 2025 Village Board meeting ; agenda Item O - "Von Briesen Report Review", and the facts in that agenda report itself.    Issues raised at that meeting include the spurious nature of the von Briesen report, particularly, the lack of fact or objectivity of the investigator, and/or those at the Village that were secretly involved in creating this $67,000, $3000 per page document.   Some quick facts about the background of the...

    Be sure to check out my other recent posts as to election matters and my position on village issues.    With each election there seems to come out of the woodwork a fabricated "new issue" for my enemies on the political left to magnify and dramatize.     These people cannot seem to find legitimate Village issues to raise or discuss, or find any fault with my performance as a Village trustee as it applies to Village best interests, so they rely this sort of thing.    The soup of the day that they are serving up for this election seems to be "the von Briesen Report". This is an issue that has been dealt with and repudiated several times in the past almost 2 years. But here they are again resurrecting a discredited document.      I have addressed this issue in two separate posts already; Chris Voll's and Aaron Myszka's "von Briesen Report" Part 2 - A $65,000 crime against Kronenwetter Taxpayers   Unbelievable ...

   I have complained at Board meetings since July about the budget secrecy and the fact that the public and the Village Board have been locked out of budget development.    Dave Baker personally caused this when he set up this closed procedure for the budget development to be   driven at private meetings by staff wants, needs, and desires,   while refusing to allow the transparency of committee open meeting discussions or trustee involvement. I was the lone voice on the board, and unfortunately, the inexperience of the other board members perhaps inadvertently caused them to follow the lead of Baker and Jacobs.    Both Dave Baker and John Jacobs assured us that it would be a TIGHT BUDGET, but that it would still replace and provide the usual funds for capital road projects. I took a "we'll see" attitude, since I had no other support from the Board to do anything else. I did warn everyone that I talked to that I expected a nasty "October surprise" ...
