Fellow Conservatives — It’s Time to Turn the Page on Sheriff David Zoerner: Opinion
On Tuesday, Republican voters will decide who will almost certainly become the next sheriff of Kenosha County. No Democrat or independent candidate filed for the office, making the Republican primary the election that will almost certainly decide who serves as sheriff for the next four years. This news outlet is not endorsing either of Sheriff David Zoerner’s opponents. Captain James Beller and Captain Tony Gonzalez can make their own cases to the voters. It is not this outlet’s place to tell people who to vote for. But this outlet is uniquely equipped with years of documented reporting on why Zoerner has been a terrible sheriff for the last three years, and it is not alone in that conclusion. Nearly everyone who works for him believes it too. After years of

Liberal Activist Judge Jodi Meier (D) Gives Former KUSD Teacher Just Two Years for Sending Graphic Sexual Messages to 15-Year-Old Student After He Originally Faced Nearly 100 Years
Alex Poyner, 34, of Kenosha – Former KUSD Teacher(File Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye) KENOSHA, Wis. — Liberal activist Judge Jodi Meier (D) on Thursday sentenced former Bradford High School substitute teacher Alexander Robert Poyner, 34, of Kenosha, to just two years in state prison, followed by three years of extended supervision, despite the fact that he originally faced nearly 100 years of imprisonment when prosecutors charged him with 17 felonies. Earlier in the case, Meier dismissed 14 of those felony charges. On Thursday, after hearing from several people who spoke on Poyner’s behalf, she imposed a prison sentence that was less than the maximum period of initial confinement authorized for the single felony offense to which he ultimately pleaded guilty.

Long-Time Trustee Dennis L. Faber Honored with Boat Launch Named in His Honor
SALEM LAKES, Wis. — At a recent Village Board meeting, Salem Lakes came together to celebrate a man whose dedication has helped shape the community’s lakes for decades: Long-Time Trustee Dennis L. Faber. The Board considered naming the Yaws Boat Landing after Faber, and several longtime lake leaders stepped forward to speak about his extraordinary impact. The chairman of the Camp & Center Lake Rehabilitation District described Faber as a friend, mentor, and tireless champion for the lakes. He spoke about Faber’s quiet, steady passion, the countless hours he spent working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, leading harvesting operations, and protecting the natural treasures that define Salem Lakes. He emphasized that Faber never sought recognition; he simply did what was right for the lakes and the community. A

In what appears to be a significant reversal, Liberal activist Judge Jodi Meier (D), for the first time known to Kenosha County Eye, granted the District Attorney’s request to seal the names of minor victims—an implicit acknowledgment that her previous rulings denying similar requests were erroneous.

Tyler J.

Liberal Judge Gives Felony OWI 4th Defendant Work Release, Continuing Kenosha Judiciary’s Soft-On-Repeat-Drunk-Drivers Trend
KENOSHA, Wis. — How many times does someone have to drive drunk before they’re actually locked in a jail cell? Once? Not in Kenosha. Twice? No. Three times? Still no. Four times—a felony offense and one that many states would have treated as a felony after a third conviction? Apparently not that, either. On Wednesday, Liberal Judge Jodi Meier (D) sentenced Graciela Oviedo, 60, of Kenosha, to 270 days of Huber work release after she pleaded guilty to felony fourth-offense operating while intoxicated. While the sentence carries a 270-day jail term on paper, the authorization of work release means Oviedo will not be confined full-time, continuing what many critics view as the Kenosha judiciary’s white-glove treatment of repeat drunk drivers. The latest conviction arose from an incident that nearly ended

Twin Lakes Fire/Rescue Adds Rapid Response Truck to Improve Firefighting with Limited Staffing
TWIN LAKES, Wis. — Twin Lakes Fire/Rescue has placed a new rapid response pickup truck equipped with an Ultra High-Pressure (UHP) fire suppression system into service, a move officials say will allow firefighters to begin attacking fires much faster while operating with limited staffing.
