We can help with some computer problems for those with problems STATE OF WISCONSIN PUBLIC POLICY: Citizens are entitled to the greatest possible information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts of those officers and employees who represent them. WISCONSIN STATUTORY ROUTINE DUTIES: Providing information is declared as an integral part of the ROUTINE DUTIES of officers and employees who are to serve the public. DOES WELL DOES ABOVE WORK ? Wisconsin has over two thousands governmental units that run public meeting and keep public records. Our citizens have a right to maximum public scrutiny of the public business. Such oversight entails a right to routinely access data understandable to the ordinary attorney or citizen - including DETAILED records of ALL sources of revenue and disbursements. What actions were taken, when and under whose authority? Who was paid how much? For what? Who was hired when? How memorialized? Who was fired when? How memorialized? There are many examples of good law - if followed. Wisconsin (and the other states) require the Chief Presiding Officers of "school boards" to memorialize (approve and record) all of their public actions in approved minutes. WTCS District Boards are "school boards." All 144 of APPOINTED members of WTCS District Boards must record hiring and firings. Those closely associated with admitted, convicted MATC-Milwaukee felons are not exempt here. Our Wisconsin WHISTLE media will feature FOI stories on University, Technical College and other public bodies running public meetings and keeping public records. Stay tuned. The best way to reform a bureaucracy is to have it follow its own rules and the law. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES WORTH MONITORING: Sections 38.12(4) + 120.11(4) read the same. Check the statutes for yourself. All action items MUST be published within 45 days of a meeting. Felons at MATC are not exempt here. All such publishing of "proceedings" SHALL (MUST) include the substance of all official actions taken by respective school board at the meeting and a statement of receipts and expenditures in the aggregate. At all times, The school board MUST make a DETAILED record of ALL receipts and expenditures available to public for inspection at EACH board meeting and upon request. ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE? COMING: A SERIES OF SPECIAL WHISTLE ARTICLES on white-collar MATC career criminal "Dirty Harry" Guzniczak. His life of crime extended over thirty years - with a bit of help from his friends. WHISTLE will evaluate how the legal system treated "Wisconsin's Leading Educator" after his exposure by Milwaukee area whistleblowers. Compare and contrast his treatment with that of disadvantaged. Equal treatment under the law? Everything published on Dirty Harry and his corrupt cabal of attorneys is certifiable and can be independently checked in public records. GJS will report on disparate treatment of drunk drivers. Should sons of VIPs and public officials get off easy for resulting deaths? WHISTLE will feature a tracking of student math outcomes in taxpayer-supported schools. Who's responsible for disclosing such data? At MATC in Milwaukee? How easy is it obtain honest timely records from the MATC boards? WHISTLE will investigate secret buyouts of former MATC educrats. What happens to Board members who hired wrong in the first place?
