Who Runs
Sheboygan?
Elected leadership turns over. The machinery underneath persists. Follow the path from idea → money → execution — and verify every claim.
The short version
START HERE — 60 SECONDS
Sheboygan's council votes in public — you can usually see the vote. What's harder to follow: the path that produced it, and what happened after the vote, when execution and money movement begin. This dossier traces that path, layer by layer, against the documents. Where the record goes quiet, it says so out loud.
The layers
The Flock fight
Resolution 100, the contracts, the March–August chain — and what the termination vote didn't settle.
Follow the grants
JAG awards, unnamed equipment, and the paper trail between authorization and purchase.
Who persists
Seats turn over. Some names keep appearing. The record, not the rumor.
Procedure vs. network
Most repeated behavior is explained by procedure. A smaller cast moves the agenda through it.
