Daybreak Church Pastor Responds To KCE Report, Confirms Accused Elder Worked With Children And Church Knew Of Arrest Tuesday
KENOSHA, Wis. — Daybreak Church founder and lead pastor Brit Windel issued a lengthy public response Thursday morning to Kenosha County Eye’s reporting about Dale Robert Nixon, 43, disputing KCE’s description of Nixon as a youth pastor and criticizing KCE’s reporting. But Windel’s own statement confirms Nixon was a five-year church elder who worked with children, that church leadership knew of his arrest Tuesday and knew what Windel called the “horrific details” of the case. Nixon was arrested Tuesday by Kenosha Police Department Sensitive Crimes detectives. Jail records list felony allegations of incest with a child related by blood or adoption and repeated sexual assault of the same child involving at least three alleged violations of first-degree sexual assault.

KUSD Board Spends $26,000 To Begin Process Toward Yet Another Referendum After Voters Rejected $115 Million Tax Hike
KENOSHA, Wis. — The Kenosha Unified School District Board of Education voted Tuesday to spend $26,000 on professional polling as it begins exploring yet another operating referendum after voters rejected the district’s previous $115 million request. Board members Bob Tierney and Sabrina Landry opposed the expenditure, while Board President Carl Bryan, Rebecca Stevens, Todd Price, Robin Cullen and Mary Modder voted to move forward. The previous referendum sought $23 million per year for five years, or $115 million total. Despite that rejection, the district is now formally exploring whether to pursue another referendum in April 2027. District documents say the new polling could help determine whether to pursue a referendum, how much money to request and what might be included.

Prominent local Democrat and School Board member Sabrina Landry voted against Weiss’s extension, while Republican Assembly candidate Valerie Kretchmer publicly urged the board to reject it. Board member Bob Tierney also voted no, while Doviel Hill, Amanda Meyer, Arik Espinoza
