We have had quite a few discoveries since the last update. Our Facebook page is the best place to stay up-to-date.

First - our open records request has provided insight into communications between the landowners and the City. There is quite a bit of exciting info to read and the emails can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17tB1Wc5px/

Second - the Board of Appeals meeting for us is scheduled Thursday 2/19/26. We encourage people to attend just like the Common Council meeting from January - this one is very important!

Third - we are working on a google site to provide as much information in one place as possible. Will make this public ASAP.

Fourth - and this one is huge for this legal process:

We can’t afford to go quiet right now.

In New Berlin, something deeply concerning is unfolding — and it’s not just about zoning. It’s about a process that started on the wrong foot and is now raising serious questions about transparency, accuracy, and potential misrepresentation.

While meetings move forward and filings happen, we’re racing the clock to protect our community’s voice and demand a fair, lawful process.

Over the past few weeks, neighbors like you have:
• stood outside in the cold
• printed flyers at home
• came together and spoke up
• spent late nights digging into zoning law and public records
• stepped up when the City let us downz

Not because it’s easy.
Because this is home.

Here’s the hard truth:
When a process shows signs of being rushed, sloppy, or built on questionable information, the only way to challenge it is legally — and that takes resources. Deceit is NOT a good way to start a relationship.

Deadlines don’t wait.
Appeals don’t pause.
Once decisions are finalized, it becomes much harder to unwind mistakes or hold anyone accountable.
That’s why today matters.

We’re asking every supporter to give just $10 today — not someday.
Ten dollars might not sound like much. But together, it keeps our attorneys working, our filings active, and our challenge alive — so this doesn’t get swept under the rug.
If you care about New Berlin…If you believe decisions should be based on honest, accurate information…If you don’t want backroom mistakes or misrepresentations shaping our city’s future…

Please chip in $10 right now.
Let’s fix this before a flawed process becomes a permanent decision.

We have all seen the emails and know the City LEGALLY questioned the church designation but went ahead anyway.
