	<description><![CDATA[If you asked me how things were going back when I served on the <a target="smc" href="https://www.deperewi.gov/">De Pere</a> City Council (2012-2020), you probably heard me  say that one aspect I enjoyed the most was that we were a non-partisan political body. Each  of the four times I filed my candidacy paperwork, I never declared a political party; it's  officially a non-partisan position. I always felt that when we considered such local items as  garbage pickup or snow plowing, your party affiliation doesn't matter.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The wage debate continues. And while elected officials impose their partisan ways on their  communities, regular people see first hand that the consequences are real. As a former local  elected official, my energies are focused more on the actions of city councils rather than on  state and national issues. This real life example from Long Beach, California proves that the  political leanings and moral values of your city council matter. Don't worry, while this  example is Long Beach, I'll bring this conversation back to De Pere, Wisconsin, where I live,  at the end of the article. Please read on.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[There's a restaurant on the east side of town that, for many years, was like your typical bar  and grill. You could get a good burger or a steak, a beer, you name it. Before or after  dinner you could pony up to the bar for a cocktail. I've been there many times. Then a couple  of years ago, the owners decided to change it to a Japanese restaurant. I don't eat Japanese  food, so I no longer go there. It's not a protest or a boycott. They just changed their  product, and I'm no longer part of their target audience.]]></description>

That stands to reason, and <a target="smc" href="https://evers.wi.gov/">Gov. Tony Evers</a>, here in the state of Wisconsin, is no  exception. Last year, he issued a stay-at-home order which was then overturned by the <a target="smc" href="https://www.wicourts.gov/courts/supreme/">Wisconsin Supreme Court</a> because Evers  went beyond his authority according to our constitution. At the time, one justice described  Evers' order as "the very definition of tyranny."]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[It's a shame that so many people don't understand the fundamental differences between the  United States of America and every other nation in the world. Perhaps it's a failed education  system. Or perhaps people just refuse to believe it. But I frequently see fellow Americans  make comments that contradict our core identity as a country.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[There was a time when words meant what they meant. Now, in 2024, we're allowing our society  to not only change the fundamental meanings of words in our language, but we're also bowing  to their criticisms of those of us who disagree.

	<description><![CDATA[A number of years ago, I heard the term "slacktivist" for the first time. It refers to a  person who only complains about social issues online or who only carries a sign at some  protest about an issue, but doesn't actually understand the issue or make life changes in  support of the issue.

	<description><![CDATA[I wrote this reflection a few years ago, a week after my wife and I spent time in our nation's capitol and surrounding areas. In addition to DC we visited incredible and historic sites in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
