Congratulations to Dist. 1 BOCC elect Deb Butterfield!

Outspent 82K to 8K! You broke up the trifecta. Against all odds....you did it. Thank you for your independence!

A good woman with a fantastic background. In fairness to the developers et al candidate (Miss Lazich) she was very impressive as well. The first female President of the Wisconsin State Senate. IMO she didn't need the 82K with such an impressive resume. I hope she stays active and we see her name on a ballot in the future!

We agree on most things but think it is better to have at least one member who is not beholden in any way to the developer. Money always talks.

I don’t believe Don is beholden to the developer, they weren’t going to support Miller so they threw their money behind Don. So it seems we have one , Coon that will follow the wishes of the developer, Deb and Don will be impartial, follow the facts and use common sense. A divided government is usually a good thing.

What is a BOCC - I know what a CDD is. BOCC does not appear on TV's list of commonly used acronyms.

Your last sentence may be the most impartial since this became a topic. So there are a few free thinkers left in TV. Phew!

If money doesn’t talk, then the commissioners could always be jailed.

Wow. Doc wanting a total tilt towards autonomy ....for a developer and ‘his’ elected board. Now I know I’ve seen it all!:1rotfl:
