Kenosha County Clerk Warns Against Using Stickers on Write-In Ballots Ahead of Election
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County Clerk Regi Waligora is warning voters and write-in candidates not to use stickers on election ballots, saying the practice is not authorized under Wisconsin law and could disrupt ballot-counting equipment on Election Day. In a news release issued Friday, Waligora said Wisconsin law does not explicitly allow voters to place stickers on ballots. While state statutes contain a narrow exception allowing election officials to place stickers on ballots if a candidate dies after ballots have already been printed, that exception does not apply to write-in campaigns or candidates encouraging supporters to use pre-printed labels. The county clerk cited guidance from the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s Election Law and Administration in Wisconsin Manual, published in June 2026, which states that state law neither expressly permits nor prohibits

Judge Sides with Danish Brotherhood, Rejects Somers’ Filing Arguments in Property Tax Dispute
George Stoner (D) – Somers Village President(File Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye) KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha County judge has handed the Danish Brotherhood Lodge a significant victory in its lawsuit against the Village of Somers, rejecting the Village’s argument that the fraternal organization’s property tax exemption application was improperly filed or untimely. The ruling keeps alive the Lodge’s challenge to a roughly $16,000 property tax bill and shifts the legal battle to whether the organization’s use of its new Somers property qualifies for a tax exemption under Wisconsin law. Judge Angelina Gabriele ruled that the Danish Brotherhood timely and properly filed its property tax exemption application, rejecting the Village’s primary procedural defense. The court, however, has not yet determined whether the Lodge is entitled to a full
Sharing Center Executive Director Sharon Pomaville, 62, Retires After 15 Years, Leaving Behind a Legacy Praised by Many but Questioned by Others
TREVOR, Wis. — After more than 15 years as executive director of The Sharing Center, Sharon Pomaville (D), 62, has announced her retirement, bringing to a close a tenure that supporters credit with expanding the organization’s reach and securing a permanent home for the nonprofit. For many residents in western Kenosha County, Pomaville will be remembered for her work leading the Trevor-based nonprofit that provides food, housing assistance, and other support services to families in need. During her tenure, the Sharing Center grew its programs, expanded community partnerships, and acquired the building it now owns, accomplishments highlighted by the organization’s Board of Directors in announcing her retirement. Others, however, say Pomaville’s legacy became far more complicated when she entered politics. Pomaville served a two-year term on the Kenosha County Board

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

Man Free on $500 Bail in Felony Police Battery Case Arrested for Third OWI, Gets Only $1,500 Cash Bail
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
