New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government

Ralph Heun, a 38-year resident of New Berlin, will be blogging about issues of concern to the New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government, an organization that promotes fiscal responsibility among all units of government.

Senator Mary Lazich interceeds with DNR to give city more time for a Public Hearing on MMSD 2020 Plan!!

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

The Mayor doesnt know what he's doing. Who voted for that lazy excuse anyway?

I cannot tell whether Mayor Chiovatero supports the interests and wishes of New Berlin citizens or MMSD.  This will be the last chance for those people to be represented before they are taxed without representation by MMSD.  Those affected New Berlin citizens must be allowed to participate in the decision.  New Berlin needs someone who will stand up to MMSD.

I wish it wasn't true, but we cannot ignore the facts.

The developers used their money and their political connections to get Chiovatero elected.  

Now, the developers want to sewer the west side for their high density develoment projects.

Is it really that hard to figure out why Chiovatero is sitting on his hands?
