LETTER: Papers stirred things up just to sell papers : Courierlifenews.com

" Here's why there are no charges in Bangor: The village president recognized the illegality of the meeting, rescinded the action taken at the meeting and set a new meeting.

Also, that meeting was only illegal in one facet: the agenda did not spell out the action to be taken. The Onalaska meeting was questionable for a lot more reasons and clearly illegal on two counts: lack of notice to the media and appalling lack of specificity on the agenda.

If Kitzmann and Hauser had been the least bit repentant and tried to remedy the situation like the Bangor president did, I bet the DA wouldn't have pressed charges. I don't know about Gruenke, but I view this as a symbolic blow against the tyranny of the Hauser-Kitzmann cabal. "

" Coulee news is reporting an Illegal meeting in Bangor. Why hasn't the DA filed charges against those people? Seems mighty fishy that only the Town of Onalaska Chairman gets charged, wouldn't you say? "

" Hauser asks, "How do I get my reputation back"?

Not by blaming the residents you serve.

Not by blaming the newspaper for reporting facts.

Not by blaming the DA of making a mistake.

Get 'a reputation' by taking some responsibility for your actions. "

" All of the statements I posted are factually correct.

None of the statements have been disputed, not one.

As you stated, "Wishing won't make it true." "

" 1. Mr. Paudler, thank you for your knowledge and experience on the board in previous years, helping new and veteran board members.

2. Mr. Paudler, thanks for development of the award winning Town of Onalaska Comprehensive Plan. Your emphasis on public input at ALL stages is appreciated.

3. Mr. Paudler, Heritage Hills residents thank you for your attention paid to our concerns.

4. Mr. Paudler, thanks for past appropriate and fair handling of personnel issues in the town. It is unfortunate that a dedicated town secretary of 12 years has left employment in the town, due to progressing workplace friction during your absence in the last 2 years.

5. Mr. Paudler, thanks you for foresight in developing an administrator position and applying an appropriate selection and hiring process. Unfortunately this process was not recently followed by 3/5 of the current board. "

" 6. Mr. Paudler thank you for your understanding of the budget now, and in past years. It is unfortunate that others, with more years on the board, do not have the same competence.

7. Mr. Paudler, thank you for bringing significant opportunity to the Town of Onalaska, presenting the options to the residents and then listening intently to resident's input prior to making final decisions along with other board members.

8. Mr. Paudler, thank you for your honesty, integrity and respect for the election process. You did NOT stoop to the depth of your opponents in the last election and use, in any manner, false financial information in attempt to mislead voters. You also chose in this election to again not publish false information insulting voters and the election process. "

" And were's the article about Paudler?

1. Paudler dictated to Grammling when he (Grammling) was chair. Clear violation of the law.

2. Paudler ignored a request by 200 citizens asking to delay approving the comp. plan.

3. Paudler ignored a request by the Heritage Hills residents to help with safe water.

4. Paudler took your right to vote (for a new clerk) away.

5. Paudler created the administrator position.

6. Combine points 4, 5 and Paudler increased non-discretionary spending by almost $100,000 EVERY YEAR.

7. Paudler wanted to use tax dollars to buy property at $10,000/acre and then give it away, leaving the people holding the bag.

8. Paudler used his unique access to the assessment roll to do a mailing during the last election, something any other citizen would have to pay for, he didn't pay for it. "

" Should our tax dollars be paying a town administrator (Kitzmann) for writing this letter for Mr. Hauser?

The format of this letter appears quite similar to the list of excuses from Mr. Kitzmann at a recent board meeting when he was asked why he changed the town hall locks and did not notify board members with a 30 second email.

"It was a 12 hour day" (the locks were changed about 3 hours into his '12 hour day').

"I was so busy that day".

"I was sick with the flu that day".

'Poor Me (Kitzmann)'

.....hey! 'Poor Me (Hauser)'. Same theme. "

" Hey Hauser - how about taking responsibility for your own actions instead of passing the buck. The paper reports the stories as they happen. Your reputation has always been in the mud in case you didn't know that. "
