Evers' budget proposal would make public records cheaper in some cases

MADISON - Gov. Tony Evers wants to make it cheaper for the public to obtain government documents in some cases, after taking a series of hits for how he's handled records requests over the last two years. For decades, government agencies have been allowed to charge those requesting documents for the cost of locating records if that cost exceeds $50. In the state budget he proposed last month, Evers recommended raising the threshold to $100, which would let more people obtain records without having to pay a fee.  The proposal — hailed by open records advocates — comes after the Democratic governor faced criticism for declining to release emails and getting into expensive legal fights with a Milwaukee TV station and a Republican lawmaker.

Wauwatosa Police Created 'Protester List' » Urban Milwaukee

“Here is the new updated list,” reads an email sent by WPD crime analyst Dominick Ratkowski on July 14, 2020. “There are around 40 people, I have fully ID’ed.” The message was sent to 17 WPD employees, including multiple supervisors in the investigative division and Chief Barry Weber. Eight minutes later, a supervisor would send another message. “This list can be found in open investigations in the protest folder,” the email read. At 4:11p.m. on July 14, 2020 John Milotzky, a WPD detective and president of the Wauwatosa Peace Officers Association, replied in the chain: “That list,” he wrote, “only needd [sic] to go to Shorty since he’s in charge of mailing tickets,” using a nickname for a Special Operations Group (SOG) detective.

Wauwatosa Mayor Dennis McBride Named As 'Target' By Police

The PowerPoint, sent in an email on Sep. 1, 2020, was forwarded by a member of the department's Special Operations Group (SOG) to a supervisor in the department's Investigative Division. Wisconsin Examiner exclusively obtained the internal presentation as part of an open records request filed on Oct. 19, 2020. It's unclear when exactly the document was originally created, and whether it was used as briefing material by the Wauwatosa Police Department (WPD). What is clear is that the PowerPoint was created in the wake of protests that flooded the suburban city after fatal police shootings involving police officer Joseph Mensah, who resigned in November.
