What’s the good news lately, not often discussed?
How about impact fees being collected from developers again, long after Mayor Jim Conners dived right into the developer’s pockets years ago and got rid of them? How about no more talking about the insanity of even considering building a $51,000,000 fire station right at the foot of Symphony Bay to service the area in a ‘modernized’ fashion? Wisely, the police and fire commission, not to mention the fire chief himself, flushed that idea right down the proverbial toilet.
Two coffee shops are coming to Lake Geneva to support the existing facilities. Hawaiian coffee will be served! Finally! “Hippy” coffee atmosphere will also be coming to entertain all of wildly right-wing Walworth County. One good thing that the former mayor, Charlene Klein, contributed to no thanks at all during her term should be brought back. Galas are to be held at the Riviera facility on a regular celebratory basis. The city and the residents around the lake need to party more and argue less…or at least go to great gala parties and argue after drinking copious amounts of liquids that induce wild and woolly discussions.
