The K Report

         As a Village trustee, my experience with Mr Davel shows me a demonstrated disregard for rules and laws, an inappropriate assumption of  "tail wagging the dog" control over the Village Board, and an apparent uncouth lack of tact, knowledge, or ethical restraint in his administrative duties. In short, it seems that Mr. Davel simply does what he wants to, regardless of the damage it may do to the Village.    In other words, I believe that his incompetence is as obvious as a neon sign; he is unfit for the position and should be removed by the Board. Ditto for Mr. Joling. Neither of these two could have brought such cost and destruction on the Village without the support of the other one.      Look back at Davel's performance for the past 10 months, read the investigation report, read the extensive augmentation, read their (Davel, Joling, Board members) CYA comments in news articles, and see if you disagree wi...

Trust the Government?  A July 23 news article leads with the statement: WESTON — Weston trustees Monday approved a $6.7 million police headquarters minutes after one trustee said she felt completely misled about the need for the building.    In a comment on Nextdoor, a woman seemed a bit disillusioned upon hearing that the Weston Village president Mark Maloney effectively  lied about the upcoming need to build a new police HQ, just to avoid opposition to approval of a police department merger.    I hate to break the news to her and anyone else, but governments do lie . They lie to the public and as we have seen here they lie to each other.     At the federal level the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013 , was passed allowing domestic (that's you) propagandization by the federal government. You think you are hearing "news"that we are winning the war, you think you are hearing "the science" about Covid vacines, but you won't know what is...

    The much waited for "investigation report" has finally been released due to public pressure. In my opinion, if even half of the augmentation is true, this has been the most corrupt, dirty, bungled and just plain stupid waste of taxpayer money that I have ever seen in Kronenwetter. That is saying a lot.    I have posted 3 other articles on "The Investigation" Parts 1,2, and 2.5 weeks ago. I stand by every word of those, and much more coming now that the full report is available to the public.     The various future articles will be posted in no particular order, just as I get them written.  The statement has been put forth that   administrator James Davel claims publicly that the investigation was "retaliation" against him by former Trustees Charneski and  Sorensen over the sand mine issue. So, here is my reply to that:    I believe this accusation is likely his deliberate tactic to distract attention from the fact...

  Once again Kronenwetter is in the news with Administrator James Davel acting as if the Village is Marathon County's pet poodle. See the WAOW news piece here: https://www.waow.com/news/village-of-kronenwetter-prepares-to-develop-new-campus-for-marathon-county-highway-department/article_bf1e3cde-2633-4df3-812f-7a2e35805aae.html It is billed as "one of the biggest projects in Kronenwetter in recent memory." Yes, it's "big", but it represents a LOSS to the Village with zero gain. Davel is quoted as saying: “They’re going to have a brine plant there. They are going to have a wash bay there for their trucks. This is not a little shop, this is pretty significant,” said James Davel, Kronenwetter Village Administrator. “We just need to make sure that we’re good teammates with the county, we follow our zoning and rules. That shop is also going to be supporting Kronenwetter, and we’re county residents, so we should be good teammates....

   James Davel has said repeatedly that he wants to "change the culture of Kronenwetter government". It appears that he is doing that by eliminating diligent, knowledgeable workers who favor open, honest government. First Rutherford, then Wegner, now Poyer.    In my opinion, this Davel/Joling partnership has brought nothing but betrayal to taxpayers and destruction to Kronenwetter, and this is the latest.  I'll post more on this issue later today, along with the complaint against Davel and Joling that Poyer refers to in her resignation.
