The enemies list

"Always with the drama," as Tony Soprano would say. Welcome to the City of Pewaukee, where a recall effort is underway to recall the the mayor, Jeff Nowak, for various claims of misdeeds in office. In response, one of Nowak's henchmen on the city's common council alderman David Mokros distributed a list of police contacts to the home of recall effort leader Barbara Whitcomb after a Common Council meeting.

Mokros claimed the papers were left in his mailbox by person or persons unknown. Since Mokros attempted smear of a recall leaders, attention has turned to him, demanding he either resign, or he'll be recalled next.

Now we learn on Friday, first from Mark Belling on WISN radio, it was the Mayor himself who requested the information from the City of Pewaukee police department. Nowak claims he has no idea how the papers ended up with Mokros, but he says a new shredder policy is getting implemented. Apparently this means means the disposal previously of sensitive personal information by the city was to place it in random aldermen's mailboxes.

The next step, of course, is to find out who else ended up on Nowak's enemies list. Who else does he have files on, and why? Meanwhile, Nowak and his G Gordon Liddy-like henchman should resign from office - immediately. If they don't resign, then these two buckets of scum should be recalled.
