City of Stoughton
While the Common
Council has been divided
over KPW for more than a
year now, proponents have
claimed that a silent majority supports the development
and the citys planned use of
tax-increment financing to
improve infrastructure near
the project site primarily
streets and intersections.
At the same time, a very
vocal and active group of
KPW opponents has also
claimed to speak for the
majority. The activist group
Stoughton Forward gathered
enough signatures of city residents on petitions between
mid-December and mid-February to place three referendum questions on the ballot.
The roughly 1,000 signatures the group gathered
turned out to not be necessary to put two advisory
referendums before voters,
because non-binding referendums are not subject to the
same requirements as a binding referendum. But the petitions likely did help persuade
the council and the Dane
County clerk to change their
minds on the eve of the Feb.
24 deadline.
The council had rejected
an alders request for an
advisory referendum question last fall, and the county

filed with the Stoughton city
clerk. Candidates can exempt
themselves from Government Accountability Board
reporting requirements if the

In addition to the council
election, the ballot will feature a referendum on the Kettle Park West development
championed by a grassroots
organization. That group has
spent money during this election cycle advocating votes
on the referendum question.
The KPW proposal calls
for the city to use $5.4
million in tax-increment
financing to develop a property near the intersection of
U.S. Hwy. 51 and Hwy. 138
into a commercial center
featuring a new Wal-Mart
Supercenter.
Former alder and outspoken KPW critic Buzz
Davis III has spent an undisclosed amount of money
distributing fliers and surveys throughout Stoughton.
Davis who operates under
what he calls a loose coalition referred to as Stoughton Forward, which opposed
original plans for a Wal-Mart
Supercenter claimed last
November a majority of the
426 residents surveyed indicated they did not want to
give the KPW developers a
subsidy.

Rejected petition
Direct Legislation petition that the council rejected
last week:
Should the City of Stoughton adopt the
proposed ordinance requiring the City to conduct
a referendum when the City proposes borrowing
more than $1 million for a proposed or approved
Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) district?
YES ___
NO ___
Choosing to act
The only alder to vote
against the motion was council president Michael Engelberger. (Ald. Sonny Swangstu was absent.)
Engelberger (D-2) and the
city attorney disagreed over
whether the city could legally
prevent the item from getting
on next years ballot. Engelberger also argued in favor
of honoring the will of those
who had signed the petition.
This is about letting the
people decide whether its
right or wrong, he said.
Thats why Id like to see
this adopted.
Engelberger said if the
council opted to not adopt
the ordinance or direct the
city clerk to place the referendum on the ballot, it would
automatically go on the April

petition were

the clerk.
Dregne had
a different
interpretation: If the Engelberger
council takes
no action, then you wouldnt
do either of those things
(adopt the ordinance or direct
the clerk to place the question
on the ballot), and I would
interpret that to mean that the
council has determined that
its not a proper subject for
direct legislation.
By directing the clerk not
to place the referendum on
a future ballot, the council removed any ambiguity about its position and also
prevented the question from
going before voters.
Dregne had previously
warned the council against
adopting a resolution that
could potentially undo the

west side.
The majority of the council and particularly several who have
opposed KPW was apparently persuaded by Dregnes
interpretation.
Dregne found that the ordinance that would have been
created would have modified
statutory borrowing procedures, the statutory process
for creating and amending
TIF districts and city zoning
regulations using a procedure
that violates Wisconsin law.
There is some precedent
to this ballot question. A
direct legislation petition
called Mount Horeb Community Alert went to the
state Supreme Court after
the village refused to pass
it. The court held the petition, requiring a referendum
for new capital projects over
$1 million, did not violate
any of the four limitations
that would prevent its legality, including the one Dregne
cited.
Dregnes memo, however,
cited two other state Supreme

Russell Louis
Woodstock
Russell Louis Woodstock, age 82, passed away
at his home in Richland
County, where he resided
for the past 20 years, on
Thursday, March 26, 2015.
He was born on Dec. 1,
1932, in Center Township
of Rock County, the son
of Leonard H. and Edith
(Bratzke) Woodstock.
Russell
graduated
from Stoughton High
School in 1951. He served
his country in the U.S.
Army and was in the conflict zone during the Korean
War and received a Purple
Heart for his injuries and
bravery. Russell married
Loretta Leikness on Feb.
3, 1955. Together, they had
six children, one of whom,
Jeffrey, was called home
six days after his birth.
The majority of Russells
life was his involvement in
farming. He started early
in life with farms in the
Stoughton area and later
moved to the rolling hills
of southwest Wisconsin,
where he owned farms with
cattle and tractors, which
were his greatest love. Russell will be remembered
for his great knowledge
of farming, his good work
ethic and sharing his experiences to help others.
He is survived by five
children; a sister, Marlene
