  1. Absolute insanity! The judges continue to drop the ball. Every prior commissioner who handled family cases had direct, SUBSTANTIAL experience with family law. These cases are way too important for someone who has no clue how to handle. Good luck Kenosha – looks like Angie handpicked another “prize” for the courts.

    Also, she’s the only candidate who did NOT have experience. All the other applicants have worked as GAL or in family law. Something is awfully fishy about this choice. 🎣

  2. Why did Liz retire? Because she lost her bid for Judge? She’s not that old.

    As someone who has been drug thru family court, this is scary. This woman has no clue what’s she’s doing.

  3. Government workers rarely get fired for poor performance.
    They just get tossed from job to job, until they land a position
    where their actions don’t have as much of a negative impact.

    Not mentioning any names, mind you. LOL!
