Karen and Charlene, had planned on giving a community presentation regarding their program. These two had been working collaboratively(a very good public-private partnership) and came up with a very sensical program called "Pay as you throw", which is a a graduated plan that encourages thrift among consumers by penalizing heavy users. The more you use, the more you pay. Hardly a groundbreaking idea and one that will truly save costs, and landfill space! Here is actually a link to the power point these two great ladies wanted to share with the community!
All seems well, and good right. two ladies work hard on a project and come up with an idea to help keep costs down for the taxpayers and the landfill clean. They want to share it with the community and whoever wants to can show up and watch it and ask questions. If you like it compliment them, if you dislike it ask the questions you disagree with! Have a discussion and see what people think and if its a good idea let all of the people decide it by a vote. A perfect example of our democracy in action in small town America where a bunch of friends neighbors and adults work together to make their community better.
Life in a Northern Town.
There is just one problem. Walkersha is not a normal town. As Kathy Nickolaus has taught us, democracy is NOT welcome in Waukesha. Before there could be a community meeting where people could get and share information, James Wigderson rode to the rescue!
Author's note: The original post contained this photo of Mr. Wigderson in this spot. Mr. Wigderson had a snit about it and has requested that we take it down. Showing more respect than he deserves, we have chosen to honor his request.
Jimmy Wigderson has a long history of trying to suppress people's votes, and now it appears, he wants to stop neighbors and friends from even having discussions. Wiggy found out, because Fred Abadi, the Public Works director, acted incredibly unprofessional and forwarded a copy of the presentation to Wiggy. The presenters, as a courtesy, shared their presentation with Director Abadi and the director then turned around and sent it to Jimmy. According to Ms. Lemoine, in her 30 year professional life, she has never had a a presentation compromised like this. Obviously Ms. Lemoine has never worked with people as unethical as these two. (I understand that these are public records, but in most of the country, you need to place an ORR request to get public documents. Apparently not in Walkersha).
Wiggy was so proud of his amateurish behavior that he ran to his blog to brag about it. Although typically, when Wiggy got to his blog, decided to leave the truth out!
DO NOT go read his blog, because I would not recommend that to anyone, I will just point out a couple of lowlights.
1. He calls the harmless presentation(not a single vote was to be taken, nor was there any chance of this proposal being enacted anytime in the near future) a "propaganda show". The irony is so thick it takes a machete to penetrate, when a paid hack from the secretive Macgyver Institute, who writes a blog where facts are rare commodities, would have the guts to call anything else "propaganda"!
2. Wiggy, not surprisingly, let it be known that if such a program were to be enacted, he would be screwing over his neighbors to save a dollar. Like the typical Wisconsin republican, he has no intention of taking personal responsibility for any of his actions.
I can’t decide which of my neighbors is going to get my garbage cans every Tuesday.
3. I have no idea why County Executive Dan Vrakas would capitulate to such childish behavior, but he should be asked. Why would an insignificant blogger with no credibility get documents before meetings? Why would the county executive not want as much information out to his constituents as possible in all aspects of every issue? Why would he treat these two pillars of the community so poorly? Why has he not explained himself?
County Executive: Dan Vrakas

Finally I have a theory. Wiggy is adamant that there never be a pay for use garbage fee, and we at Cog_DIs know why! When everything that James Wigderson writes is GARBAGE, the fees that Jim would incur would be exorbitant!
Author's note: Again, the original post contained this photo of Mr. Wigderson in this spot. Mr. Wigderson apparently didn't like this either and requested we remove it. Again, we have chosen to take the high road and honor his request.
