Letter to the Editor: Karalewitz's Experience Perfect for County Clerk

The Republican primary election for Waukesha County clerk is Aug. 14.

Letter To The Editor:

I am sure most are s in the Waukesha County clerk’s office. Now we are reading that the mess is going to cost the taxpayers of Waukesha County $256,300.  I suspect this is only the cost of the software and the folks who install it. The question that is not being asked is who is going to oversee the installation of this software and the education of the people in the department?

Obviously it has to be a person with a great deal of experience. That is why I am voting for Kathy Karalewitz who has 25 years of experience running elections, the majority being in Waukesha County and Menomonee Falls. I was the village president of Menomonee Falls for 10 years and was fortunate to have worked with Kathy for five of those years. She oversaw all of the elections and never was there a glitch. She came to us after she had worked  in the Waukesha County clerk’s office just loaded with experience which is what we need in the clerk’s office be it county or municipal. In addition, the following tells the reason why we need Kathy as our Waukesha County clerk:

 

  • 25 years of election experience
  • 8  years as Waukesha County Deputy  Clerk
  • 14 years of municipal clerk experience
  • Certified Election Inspector Trainer, WI GAB
  • Certified Municipal Clerk
  • Experience in Statewide Voting System
  • Experience with open meeting and open record laws
  • Experience with County Board proceedings
  • Administrative experience including budget planning and management, human resource management, strategic planning and procurement at municipal and county government

 

VOTE K. KARALEWITZ FOR COUNTY CLERK ON AUG. 14

What about the other candidates and their backgrounds, sometimes too much experience doesn't work, it can stagnate or impair a person's creativity or acceptance of change.

I remember a story in Journal about Karalewitz requiring a candidate running against Greco to file paperwork and then called Greco to come and review it. Later tells the candidate he didn't need to file the paperwork. This may be Greco returning the favor. Not sure if Greco won or lost that race.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.
