Paul,
I was just wondering this weekend whether the administration has entered in
to this discussion-it certainly seems appropriate to me that they would do
so. Any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks for sending out word of this concrete way we can get involved!
Kate

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 financ

ation in the forwarded email is the kind of thing of which we should be awa
re. There are a growing number of UWEC students concerned about what is ta
king place as well.

Subject: Your involvement is needed - Please forward
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 Ho
use.
The Members of the Citizens for Accountability in Jail Expansion will be me
eting at 5:45 PM across from Just Local Foods on 1st & Grand Ave on Wednesd
ay. Other members of the community opposed to the Riverfront Jail are wel
come to join.
Those in attendance will march over to the Jail Open House scheduled for 6
PM at the County Court House and meet with County Board members in person t
o let them know of the taxpayers displeasure with the current plans. The g
roup will also be attending the County Board Meeting in support of an effor
t to table a proposed 25 Million dollar bonding. Bring a friend.
Attend the meeting and speak out !!!! You are needed to help stop this proj
ect while we still can. The City Council still needs to re-zone this prope
rty and vote to change the City's Comprehensive Plan in order for the River
front Jail to continue. It is absurd, to say the least, for the county boa
rd 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 thi
s 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 an
d urging the County & the City to gain its senses
