    I’ve been to many Wausau City Council meetings when decisive contentious issues were discussed. Remember the Frantz development fiasco? But I’ve never seen

    Any council members act like they did on Tuesday! It’s an embarrassment for the city.

    Doesn’t the Council have ANY members with morals and ethics? They literally shouted down an elected Mayor who had every right to give an explanation about a change to the agenda. Citizens in the audience, many have never attended a council meeting, were appalled at the members behavior.

    It’s time for Wausau residents to start paying attention to what Wausau City Council has been doing. Have you seen your water bill lately? If you aren’t interested, then the residents of this beautiful city are part of the problem.

    It’s time for the entire Council to be replaced and several staff removed. The sooner the better. 2026 is right around the corner!

    Did you know the mayor is not a dictator? Did you not understand that his actions are what caused this ? The president of the City Council is in charge of the meeting not the Mayor. He starts reading Roberts Rules of Order as if it is the law of the land, it is not. He took so much time spouting nonsense and not giving anyone the chance to oppose him. You think the founders of this country had perfect order in their debates? John Adams fought with nearly everyone. Several fights broke out in the attempt to pass the Declaration of Independence. I didn't see " Mayor soeaks for as long as he feels like " on the agenda. When they limit citizens to 3 minutes they should do the same for the Council and the mayor to 3 minutes. Where in the constitution of The United States or that if the State of Wisconsin give a governmental body the power to limit speakers time?
