NBCRG Spin & Blunders
My NOW blog, unlike New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government’s (NBCRG), conveys a person’s viewpoint (mine)---not a political action committee’s. And unlike NBCRG, I’ve never used my blog to endorse candidates for local public offices.
Ralph Heun’s (New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government) March 7 diatribe was so full of malarkey, it would take multiple blog entries to respond to all of it.
2 Notable Court Rulings: Circuit Court Sides With City; Wis. Supreme Court Rules Against Harenda Enterprises, Inc
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (March 18 CommunityWatch & March 19 Business section of newspaper) brings us the exciting news that the courts have given the Deer Creek Inn and Conference Center the go-ahead.
Prescription Drug Abuse and Theft
Some individuals are so determined or desperate to get their hands on certain prescription drugs, they swipe their own family’s medications or rob pharmacies.
Earlier this month, New BerlinNOW reported that Stone Pharmacy,14105 Greenfield Ave. was robbed of drugs (sucessfully or unsuccessfully) three times plus there was an unsuccessful attempt to rob the pharmacy of OxyContin in February ( the thief fled empty handed). NOW had also reported that Walgreens at 3855 S. Moorland Rd. was robbed of $2,300 worth of OxyContin in January.
Holding Ald. Ken Harenda Accountable
New Berlin aldermen receive $10,000 annually in taxpayer-funded salary and expenses (the Council President gets an extra $600). I don’t think it’s asking too much of Council President/Alderman Ken Harenda to do his homework and come prepared to vote/take action on items that are on the meeting agendas.
Observations About NBCRG

Re: Current NBCRG Endorsements
New Berlin Citizens for Responsible Government (NBCRG) has endorsed a passel of candidates, including these fellows------
Ted Wysocki, who is the only candidate running for alderman in District 2. NBCRG is endorsing him anyway and apparently doesn't care about Wysocki's history of poor leadership decisions in public office that helped get the City into costly losing legal battles/lawsuits.
