Outrageous conduct by city officials
is no secret!
Secret surveys, secret meetings, secret government
and
secret courts are
Mayor Cory Mason and city attorney Scott Letteney's
legacy.
Mayor Cory Mason
Secret court proponent
But who is working for who?
Scott Letteney?
In the open records
case of Weidner vs. City of Racine,
Racine Circuit Court case # 2017CV1644,
the
paranoia of Letteney and Mason are illuminated
by the City's ridiculous claims
of "Talking Racine"
producer Jim Spodick and panelist George Meyers
being labeled as a danger to the community.
This paranoia is so
embedded into city government that Alderman Sandy Weidner wrongfully endured for over 7 months
the darkness of a secret court for performing her duties
as a city alderman.
City of Racine attorney
Scott Letteney filed frivolous documents and abused claims of attorney
privileges
into a secret and complicit court.
During these court proceedings,
Mayor Cory Mason's silence was and still is deafening.
The Mayor cannot
deny his involvement
in this outrageous secret court case.
Under Wisconsin
Statutes 62.09(1),(8)(a) " The mayor shall be the chief executive
officer. The mayor shall take care that city ordinances and state laws are
observed and enforced and that all city officers and employees discharge their
duties". (emphasis added)
Mayor
Mason's knowledge of the Machinery Row scandal
is well
documented which involves straw man purchaser
Rodney Blackwell.
Taxpayer money was misappropriated and squandered without public scrutiny and accountability. The
city acted as scofflaws as active businesses were disrupted and forced to
relocate without compensation or due process.
Mason further
commissioned a police morale survey in a most deviant way, undermining and circumventing established checks and balances within government. These checks and balances are in place to prevent officials acting maliciously, or on a whim squandering public funds. Mason hired the law firm by the hour to avoid the scrutiny of the city council . The Racine Journal Times has reported cost of $118,000 and rising for the survey. Despite the public paying for the report, Mason has denied the public the right to be informed of the contents of the report.
Why? because it is a secret!

What else is Mason
hiding ? How about the hiring of a city applicant who failed preliminary pre
hire drug screening and kept that failed test information secret from the
city council.
It is all in the secret, redacted court records.
Secrets secrets and more secrets.
Mason's use and
abuse of the powers of the city attorney's office
to act as henchmen silencing
his critics is beyond outrageous,
Mason has created a tyrannical
empire of secrecy which by design ignores citizen's rights and impedes upon a
free society
right to be informed.
As city attorney,
Scott Letteney's management of open records request is also
beyond outrageous.
Mr. Letteney's office by design is derelict of it's official
duties to properly respond to records request.
His
office systematically delays, denies and defers open records
requests for months on end, ignoring and flaunting the laws that govern timely
and reasonable response times.
The question was
asked earlier:
But who is working for who ?
Well the answer is
neither Mason nor Letteney are working on the behalf of public interest.
Coryuption - Secret
surveys, Secret meetings, Secret government and Secret courts are alive and
thriving in Racine.
An informed
electorate has the necessary information to protect their own
interest.
In April, will it be a continuation of Coryuption? Or a write in candidate for mayor who represents
honest, open and transparent government?
