KENOSHA, Wis. — Nearly 200 people packed the gorgeous ballroom at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom Thursday night for the Kenosha County Sheriff Republican Primary Forum hosted by Kenosha County Eye.

Keith A. Stich, 54, of Bristol(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) KENOSHA, Wis. — In a surprise move that caught the attention of courthouse insiders, Liberal Activist Supplemental Court Commissioner Michael “No Money” Masnica on Friday ordered a $25,000 cash bail for Keith A. Stich, a 54-year-old Bristol man accused of his seventh OWI offense, fleeing police, ramming a Wisconsin State Patrol squad car multiple times, and recklessly endangering a state trooper. Several court insiders told Kenosha County Eye they were surprised Masnica imposed what they considered a relatively high cash bail, given his reputation for routinely setting significantly lower bonds. However, those same insiders said they did not believe the bail was high enough considering the allegations that Stich repeatedly rammed a squad car, endangered law enforcement officers and other motorists,

“SMILE, THIS IS A ROBBERY, I HAVE A GUN”: Judge Iverson Approves Generous Plea Deal for Kenosha Bank Robber Who Could Serve Less Than a Year
KENOSHA, Wis. — Despite being accused of threatening a Chase Bank teller’s life during a robbery by passing a note that warned, “THE BANKS MONEY IS INSURED, YOUR LIFE ISN’T,” Oscar Giovan Fonseca, 27, received what many Kenosha County residents view as a generous plea deal Friday after Assistant District Attorney Sarah Norkus agreed to a reduced charge and Heather Iverson imposed a sentence that could result in him serving less than a year behind bars. While the victim may live with the emotional consequences of the robbery for the rest of her life, Fonseca’s sentence includes eligibility for programs that could substantially reduce the time he actually spends in prison.

Four Out of Five Wisconsinites Wanted Surplus Deal to Pass; Kenosha-Area Lawmakers and Candidates Explain Why They Supported or Opposed It
KENOSHA, Wis. — A recent Marquette University Law School poll found that 80% of Wisconsin adults believed the Legislature should have approved a bipartisan surplus deal that ultimately failed in the State Senate.

In the wake of the bill’s defeat, Kenosha County Eye asked local legislators and legislative candidates a series of questions: Why did they vote the way they did? Do they still believe it was the correct decision after seeing the public polling? If they opposed the package, what should be done with the surplus instead? Should Wisconsin prioritize taxpayer relief, school funding, property tax
