After months of FCA pushing for the Ethics Board to be reinstated, review and consideration has now made its way to the agenda on Tuesday’s Common Council meeting
“Item G6 - Review and Consideration of Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 19, Subchapter III, Code of Ethics for Public Officials and Employees, and the Former Repealed Franklin Municipal Code Section 36, Code of Ethics (Alderman Nelson).”
How Can you Help ensure transparency and integrity are considered in all city decisions (including Strauss)?
Here are THREE small but very important steps you can take to ensure our voices are heard.
