Jessica McBride repeats the message she gave radio listeners tonight and calls it "a slap in the face" to Waukesha County's citizens.
The citizens had collected 6,400 signatures by this afternoon.She calls on County Executive Dan Vrakas to veto the County Board's action.

Now, the Board's decision does underscore "people power" - the growing impact of the citizen movement to alter the relationship between the citizenry and government in this state. That's because the Board just downsized, even though many supervisors had indicated they really didn't support downsizing. They knew the referendum would pass. In other words, the citizens changed the debate. They moved the goalposts from not downsizing at all to: How much?
But it's absolutely outrageous for government officials to shut down the will of the people.
