Some information has already gone out regarding the jail, and I am not sure about this list as the place for it, but imprisonment, (mis)use of financial and natural resources, government accountability, our UWEC’s stated desire to be more involved in the community, these all suggest that the information in the forwarded email is the kind of thing of which we should be aware. There are a growing number of UWEC students concerned about what is taking place as well.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED – Your Voice is needed –
There is a rally and short march planed for Wednesday evening Feb 20th from Peace Park across from Just Local Foods to the County Board’s Jail Open House.
The Members of the Citizens for Accountability in Jail Expansion will be meeting at 5:45 PM across from Just Local Foods on 1st & Grand Ave on Wednesday. Other members of the community opposed to the Riverfront Jail are welcome to join.
Those in attendance will march over to the Jail Open House scheduled for 6PM at the County Court House and meet with County Board members in person to let them know of the taxpayers displeasure with the current plans. The group will also be attending the County Board Meeting in support of an effort to table a proposed 25 Million dollar bonding. Bring a friend.
Attend the meeting and speak out !!!! You are needed to help stop this project while we still can. The City Council still needs to re-zone this property and vote to change the City’s Comprehensive Plan in order for the Riverfront Jail to continue. It is absurd, to say the least, for the county board to allocate spending the $25 million BEFORE the City re-zones or REJECTS re-zoning the property. Your help is needed to get that message out.
How can you help????
• Come to the Wednesday meeting at the County Board.
• Call your friends & neighbors about this & ask them to attend
• Email this email to everyone you know who might want to see this project halted
• Call & email all of the county board supervisors (email & phone list is attached)
• Call AND email all of the City Council members (email & phone list is attached)
• Call & email all of the Plan Commission Members (email & phone list is attached)
• Call & email Mike Huggins the City Manager (email & phone list is attached)
• Write a letter to the Leader Telegram opposing the re-zoning and urging the County & the City to gain its senses
