KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County judges have selected Daniel E. Kellum to serve as the county's next Judicial Court Commissioner. Kellum officially accepted the appointment Thursday and will succeed William Michel II. As Judicial Court Commissioner, Kellum will preside over daily Intake Court, where commissioners set bail in newly filed criminal cases, conduct preliminary hearings, review search warrants and criminal complaints, hear all restraining order petitions, including domestic abuse, child abuse, harassment and individuals-at-risk cases, and fill in for circuit judges in family court, small claims court and other proceedings as needed. His appointment becomes effective later this month.

Humpy Dumpy needs to be better than Michel
Doesn’t seem like he has a lot of experience
If he and Kenosha have wised up they will adhere to his job duties as listed in this article which states setting bail in criminal cases as a commissioner does not have statutory authority to set bond, bond conditions or non monetary bond conditions as the cr203 unlawful overreach of a commissioners authority as set clearly in state statute only gives a judge authority to set bond, deceptively called signature bond, bond conditions or any other non monetary conditions. Very smart if Kenosha is looking to keep their bond rating from tanking.
The clock has struck truth so tread lightly ye who rule and level up or you will be held accountable by a higher authority, earthly or otherwise
Noticed at end of article he will set bail conditions, WRONG, commissioners do not have authority to set bail conditions as bail is monetary and once a defendant has met that condition that is the monetary condition to assure appearance in court, no other requirement is lawful for a defendant but to appear as the bail paid has met this requirement.
Any other conditions violate the rights of a defendant being innocent til proven guilty and when he or she does appear state statute provides that the clothing they choose to wear is not what their appearance in court means, the statutes do not allow courts to twist appearance as what they choose to wear, if they want to wear shorts, that is their right according to state statute
Put down the meth.
