Rep. Nedweski Reacts To Gov. Evers’s State Of The State Address
State Representative Amanda Nedweski (R-Pleasant Prairie) issued the following response to Governor Evers’s annual State of the State Address: “What we heard from Governor Evers tonight was more of the same. The Governor spent the majority of his address taking credit for the work of the Republican legislature and encouraging bipartisanship, despite coming off of a legislative session where he set the record for bills vetoed,” Nedweski stated. “Evers’s vision for Wisconsin is one of significant government expansion and reckless spending.” Governor Evers repeatedly took credit for Wisconsin’s financial stability, pointing to the state’s record low tax burden, Republican-authored tax cuts, and consistent budget surpluses. In response, Nedweski said, “The Governor wants you to believe that he is solely responsible for Wisconsin’s financial security. The reality is that Wisconsin is
A Word From Dr. King, Superintendent, Salem School District
By Dr. Vicki King, Superintendent, Salem School District – A Special To KCE As the superintendent for the Salem School District, I believe that honesty and transparency serve as the foundation of trust between a school district and its community. Recently, a headline about our upcoming referendum created some confusion and concern. I am committed to transparency, accountability, and the truth; and I want to make sure our community knows that the error made by the new source is not something we are going to ignore. The headline in question misstated the amount we are seeking through the referendum, listing it as $1 million instead of $2 million. This amount with the work the Board and I have done to cut costs, will ensure our community’s tax dollars remain as

Sheriff’s Department Name Change Too Confusing: Opinion
The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department (KSD) is now known as the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office (KESO). KCE got a press release recently from Sgt. Coultrip that used the acronym KESO. We replied with an FYI, saying that there was a typo. He ignored us. Another press release followed. The same acronym – KESO. We then learned it wasn’t a typo. People on social media expressed how confusing this was. “It should be KSD or KCSO,” one resident said. Most agreed. Many joked that it might be pronounced “Queso.” “I’ll bring the chips!” one man said on social media. KESO isn’t going to be recognized by anyone. It will be confusing for the rest of the agency’s lifetime. It may seem like a small thing, but having an acronym that is
