The July 3 issue of Now, Muskego New Berlin Public Forum page, contained a letter from Janet Brantzeg of New Berlin, supporting the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter in Muskego.
I wish to clarify a comment about Citizens for Responsible Government and Muskego First. The group which I am the president of is: New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government (NBCRG) NBCRG is NOT the CRG group mentioned, and is not affiliated in any way with the CRG Network. NBCRG does not interfere with proceedings in our neighboring communities and would expect the same treatment from them about New Berlin issues.
I personally have the opinion that recalls should only be attempted in the event of criminal behavior or malfeasance on the part of officials. It should not be used in an attempt to silence or influence votes on any issue. The costs of any recall election is measured in many ways, including long lasting hard feelings and many thousands of taxpayer dollars which could be spent elsewhere.
We encourage voters in the City of Muskego consider the consequences of this possible recall action before initiating it.
Thank you, Ralph Heun, President New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government
