Is It Time For A Change?

I read with much interest the article in the Journal Times regarding the Village of Caledonia’s possible secession from RUSD. This is an initiative I am clearly in support of but I urge every man, woman and child in the outlying areas to make this happen. We cannot simply do nothing and expect the outcome we desire. The first step is to make sure your wishes are known; nothing will be done if the leadership of our villages think that this is a “boutique” issue that only a few care about. Call, write or email the trustees of your village and make sure they understand seceding from Unified will benefit both the City of Racine and its outlying neighbors!

I am including contact information for Caledonia and Mt. Pleasant. Please consider contacting them right away. If you live in a different area, I urge to call your village hall and let them know your concerns.

Once the village knows that there is initial support, then and only then, can the plan go any further. We don’t need to know all of the logistics right now; we only need to gauge public interest!!

There are currently plans underway to have a website devoted to this issue; it is currently under construction. Please check back soon for more information…
