  1. Ah, the drama in my hometown of Wausau. It's pretty apparent that the unqualified 26-year old son of the transportation secretary will get his seat based on nepotism.

    And people ask me, "Why did you leave?"

    The reason? The people who live there are antithetical to my values.

  2. Hype for the Future 206M: City of Wausau, Wisconsin

    Overview The City of Wausau is a small city in and the county seat of Marathon County, Wisconsin, along Routes 51, 29, and 52. Today, the community serves as one of just a few urban centers in the north of Wisconsin, with the community home to the Jefferson Street Inn, the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, City Hall Park, the Stewart Inn, the Andrew Warren Historic District, the Marathon House Historical Society, and the Yawkey House Museum downtown. To the east are the Charles L. Manson […]

  3. For those interested in the #ballot #dropbox brouhaha here in #Wausau, here is the latest update.

    The mayor wanted to install a "security camera" and light for the box to watch for I don't even know what. There has been a payment box in front of city hall (to pay water bills, etc.) for decades at City Hall. But suddenly a similar receptacle for ballots is "insecure."

    Amateur political grandstanding that he thinks will get him statewide office as a Republican (our city elections are supposedly not party affiliated.)

    A defiant Wausau mayor stares down critics over ballot box investigation - Wausau Pilot & Review

  4. #DougDiny was elected as mayor of #Wausau, #Wisconsin in April, defeating an incumbent, Katie Rosenberg. The mayoral race was officially nonpartisan, but Diny was endorsed by the WI #Republican Party & Rosenberg by the WI #Democratic Party.

  5. Bernarde said she reported #DougDiny’s removal of the box to the DA of Marathon County & the #Wisconsin Elections Commission, referring to a portion of state #law that obligates municipal clerks to report suspected #election #fraud, #irregularities or #violations.

    While the investigation is ongoing, she said, the #DropBox will not be available, but voters can deposit #ballots in a box outside #Wausau City Hall that is normally used to collect payments.

  6. #DougDiny said…Wed that he had a β€œphilosophical difference of opinion” w/the city clerk, Kaitlyn Bernarde, over whether it should have been up to her or the City Council to decide whether to install a drop box in #Wausau, a city of about 40k people in #Wisconsin. The state Supreme Court ruling & subsequent guidance from the WI Elections Commission established that this authority rests w/the clerk [& is not in any way subject to some idiot’s *philosophical opinion *].

  7. #DougDiny thought the City Council should have been consultedβ€”something the #Wisconsin Supreme Court did not require in its July ruling granting the city clerk authority β€” & did not believe the #Ballot #DropBox would be secure. So he walked outside, removed the box & carted it into his office.

    His actions, which HE documented w/photos & which The #Wausau Pilot & Review reported, are the latest example of a pattern that began around the 2020 election due to #Trump’s …[#BigLie] about voter fraud.

  8. Just another idiot #Republican who somehow managed to fail upward into elected office 100% breaking the #law:

    A #Wisconsin mayor took issue w/a #Ballot #DropBox decision, so he just took it.

    #DougDiny, the Republican mayor of #Wausau, WI, was working on Sun when he saw a ballot drop box outside City Hall, where it had been placed under orders of the city clerk.

    I found it hilarious that Mayor Diney compared the combining of a city department with a county/city cooperative agreement to "putting a gumball machine in the City Hall lobby."

    Poor Doug doesn't know what he is doing and is just pretending to be politician. Unfortunately the politician he is pretending to be is Scott Walker.

    I lived in Wausau for four years. So this is especially sad to hear.
