New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government wish to thank Senator Mary Lazich for again contacting the Department of Natural Resources, and for obtaining additional time for the City of New Berlin to conduct a Public Hearing on the Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewage District (MMSD) 2020 Plan.
I contacted Senator Lazich last week and asked her to see if the City could get an extension to December 15, 2007, This she did and the Senator told me on Friday she would call Mayor Chiavatero and inform him of the DNR extension.
It seems to me that when private citizens must follow up contacting the DNR or any one else, that we pay this Administration to do, that there is something radically wrong.
Mr Mayor, please schedule a Public Hearing on the MMSD 2020 plan immediately. You are the CEO of the City of New Berlin and if you want to get anything done, all you have to do is schedule it. In spite of your attempting to put the blame for no Public Hearing on members of the Common Council, it is still your responsibility.
We on the West Side are waiting and watching and have long memories of unfulfilled promises.
NBCRG is still waiting after 8 months to be put back on the list of Community organizations, or for you to develop a procedure for doing so.
Ralph Heun. President NBCRG
