Initial BD TIF Meeting Held
11/28/08 - The city of Beaver Dam held their first meeting Wednesday with the various entities affected by the creation of a new TIF District. TIF #6 is proposed in the downtown area. Chuck Sulik with MSA Professional Services, says if approved, $16.5 million in TIF funds would be allocated to implement the proposed projects outlined in the plan, including acquisition, demolition and developer incentives. Of the $16.5 million, $2.9 million will be needed for upfront costs. Initial borrowing of $1.5 million would be used to acquire eleven downtown floodway properties at 100% of their assessed value, and their subsequent demolition. As proposed, the new TIF #6 would be “blended” with the current TIF #3. The TIF District is expected to generate $30 million is assessed value. The TIF would continue through 2036 with the payout coming in its final three years. The creation of the new TIF District is vital in making the proposed senior living and Weyco factory apartments a reality.
Lanting Gets Six Months
11/28/08 - An Oconomowoc man will spend six months in jail for striking a Dodge County Sheriffs Deputy and a variety of other charges. In September, Adam Lanting was pulled over just after 2am for driving too slow. Two passengers fled, but Lanting was tazed by deputies. Authorities say that was unsuccessful and an altercation ensued during which the 26-year-old struck the deputy at least once before he was taken into custody. The deputy and Lanting suffered minor injuries. Lanting had his license revoked but authorities arrested him again last month after he attempted to drive home from the courthouse. That charge was eventually dismissed on a prosecutor’s motion, along with misdemeanor charges of Obstruction and Bail Jumping and various traffic violations. Lanting entered a “not guilty” plea to a felony charge of Battery to Law Enforcement and misdemeanor OWI. In addition to six months in jail with Huber privileges, Lanting had his license revoked for 33 months.
Eauslin Back in Court on Newest Child Assault Charges
11/28/08 - A Lowell man entered a “not guilty” plea Wednesday to child molestation charges. Wayne Eauslin is accused of the repeated sexual assault of a girl in 2001. The victim is now a teenager. The 36-year-old Eauslin is currently facing a total of five felonies in three separate cases for allegedly molesting four different girls. In one of the other cases, he is accused of assaulting a preteen girl while she slept this past summer. In the third case, Eauslin allegedly assaulted an 8 and 10-year-old girl in a bathroom in the summer of 2007. In both of those cases he recently entered “not guilty” pleas. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 150-years in prison. Eauslin will be back in court in January.
Black Friday
11/28/08 - It’s Black Friday – and some Wisconsin stores opened at four this morning, as bargain-hunters grabbed the first door-buster specials. There were lines outside every big business in Beaver Dam by 5 o’clock this morning as shoppers waited for doors to open at 6. Big screen T-V’s and other electronics are expected to be hot sellers, many with deep discounts. But for the first time, gift card sales are projected to drop from the previous year. Experts say consumers are worried that some stores will go bankrupt before the cards expire. But Milwaukee bankruptcy attorney Tim Nixon says there’s a risk but it’s not all that big. Bankruptcy judges often tell stores to honor gift cards – and Nixon says they’ve all been honored in the 20 years he’s been working with bankruptcies. Still, a poll by America’s Research Group shows that two-thirds of people who normally give cards will give cash instead.
B&E in Lowell
11/28/08 - For the first time in a number of weeks there was a breaking and entering in Dodge County, though it is not believed to be related to previous crimes. The Sheriff’s Department says a 33-year-old man reported some prescription medications had been taken from his residence in the Town of Lowell. Authorities say they do have a suspect and will continue to investigate the incident. Earlier this fall there were multiple break-in’s to businesses, churches, and homes around Dodge County. Authorities believe they have apprehended a large majority of the people believed to have been responsible.
Evictions Up Throughout Wisconsin
11/28/08 - It’s another sign of a faltering economy. More Wisconsinites are being evicted from their apartments. Almost 25-thousand-650 eviction cases have been filed this year in small-claims courts around the state. It’s approaching last year’s total of 27-thousand-600. Groups that help evicted residents say the case numbers have always been high, but the economy has made them even worse. Debbie Rongstad of Legal Action of Wisconsin says most people evicted are the working poor – holding multiple jobs as they juggle their rent, food, and utility bills. And for some, Rongstad says losing a job means deciding between paying the rent and putting food on the table.
