The
county clerk Rosemary Bohm was extremely helpful as I try to understand the
“structure” of the Shawano Co. Board. She emailed this document to me. It seems
the “people” have little to do with the structure of their county. What ever
happened to a Charter, which could only be changed by referendum?
Anyhow,
here are some ideas.
Draft
revision, reply to Bruce Eggum, eggum@frontiernet.net
Please
send me your ideas! Shawano people can do this together and request it. Send to
all your Shawano Co. friends. A final revision can be approved by all who
choose to be involved in this.
