There are some people in local government that are very honorable.

Julie Anderson, Racine County Planning and Development Director
Julie is an honourable official that does not have time for dishonestly. What a difference one honest person made in Racine Co.

more to come...

According to an unnamed resident, when they needed a culvert installed under their driveway, Ray stated, "If I didn't know what way water runs, then I shouldn't run the town."

Well as we all know, water runs downhill, yet Tom still hired Applied Technologies to determine what way the water will flow through the culvert.

When asked at a town meeting why Applied Technologies was hired for this Tom responded with, "What do I know? I am just a dumb farmer."

Dean Larsen then proceeded to respond with, "What do I know? I just pour beer."

Does anyone know what Larry Neau?

Sorry Tom, but farmers are not dumb! We do know that Tom is a very fast learner. It appears that Tom picked up the art of swindling from Ed Furey pretty darn quick with the help of Jim Smith at Applied Technologies.

Ray is saving money by not doing repairs on the roads in the Terrace and the
Manor. Sure this looks good on paper right now, but how much is this going to cost us when every road in these two communities needs to be replaced?

The Repaving project from the Terrace Boat Launch to Hwy J has only been worked on from hwy N to to the halfway point going to Ray's house. That portion of the road only has 13 homes and the condition of the portion that was not worked on is deteriorating in need of repairs.

Like I have stressed before......
What is it about town chairmans paving the roads to their homes?

On top of that, what has Applied Technologies done for us with road repair besides suck us dry?

Tom Lembke and the town board paid Applied Technologies $8,500 to tell the town that a culvert was failing.

Our current town board never replaced this culvert and just paved right over it. $8,500 for nothing.

Ray's cronies have "Madoff" with many dollars from substandard work. One of the town's trucks had the hood and door replaced because an attachment that is driven by hydraulics was not working properly . I told the town that I would do the bodywork on this truck if they agreed to make sure the hydraulics were fixed so that it would not happen again.

Ray ended up having one of his buddies do the work and it cost us in excess of $10,000. The truck came back with a new hood, door, and other various parts. Here comes the bad part. The truck is sitting again with the same damage. This is because they never repaired the source of the problem.

Is Ray going to spend 10K  at the shop over and over, or is he going to fix the cause of the problem?

Smitty and myself could help save the town many dollars by using the town garage to do this kind of work in-house.

Is this just one of his Used Car Salesman tactics?

Engineering fees from Applied Technologies to repave approx. 3 miles of road (Terrace Boat Launch to Hwy J and on Vanderboom from 1st to Count Line Road) @ $88 an hour with the support of Dean Larsen and Patrick H. on Thomas Lembcke's watch. Ray Gromacki did the long division in front of myself and Pete Griel and came up with roughly 357 hours give or take! Ray also stated that something is discolored when you see fees like this one.

This was prior to his 2007 term in office. Ray told Pete that he needed support from him and his family to win that election so that he could stop the bilking of the community for thousands of dollars. After Ray made it into office, Pete asked him, “Why can you get away from this consulting firm.” Ray communicated that the town can not run without them.

Payne & Dolan were the ones that ended up doing the work work in three 12 hour days. They have their own engineers and they are also highly recommended by the Governor. There is also no reason why you need to pay a consulting firm $88 per hour to get involved with potholes, painting the yellow lines on the road, and on other related projects. See how the $31,500 was spent in this meeting minutes snippet:

This resurfacing got cut short. The portion a Hwy N was only paved halfway, to Rays house.  According to the Paper, Ray is going to finish going past his house to Hwy J.  What is it about town chairmans paving the roads in front of their own houses?

Ever since Ed Furey and Ted Dremel Sr., I supported every candidate that promised the people and myself that would remove the terribly expensive consulting firm. As of today, Applied Technologies are still the town's engineering and contracting firm.

Out town has spend $88 an hour plus the road superintendent to engineer (mark) the yellow lines from the hwy to the double lane in the Eagle Lake Manor.  After this service, the town paid the Racine Co. hwy. dept. to spray the paint.  I feel that the money spend on Applied technologies for this project could have been put towards the betterment of our community.

On top of this all, Britton Road between Hwy C and Church has one of the steepest hills and does not have any yellow lines or no passing signs.

Even though the following story is not about our town, we can still learn from it.

2010-03-17 Update:
Driveway cost was really $1,700 instead of $1,600.  This update came in from the property owner that lives on Lakeshore Dr. in the Eagle Lake Manor.
