On Township takes step to becoming a village

While it seems to make sense for the Pell Lake area to incorporate into a Village since they have urban services (police, fire, water and sewer), I fail to see their "logic" to incorporate the hundreds of acres of farmland around the Pell Lake area (over 10,000 acres per the Walworth County website).
That would seem to be exactly what they are claiming to want Lake Geneva and Genoa City to NOT do.
And 10,000 acres of farmland pays a very small amount in property taxes.

On Who would enforce the rules? Town police debate comes down to ordinances

Long Time Gone: Yes Towns have the option of creating T.I.F. districts. Not as broadly as City's and Village's, but then who do they (Town's) have to to keep track of the expenses and revenues.

It seems that the City's and Villages's have trouble with this and they have full-time employees.

On Chief urges caution on Delavan Lake after two fishermen fall through ice

Well, that just proves the "definition of a fisherman" that my brother (a through and through fisherman) used to have hanging in his room, "a jerk at one end of the string waiting for a jerk at the other".

On Elkhorn looking to correct sewer problems

Nothing really new about this. Elkhorn has had overflowing sanitary sewers for decades. The sanitary sewer manhole covers on South Lincoln Street used to get lifted up with every good rainstorm, and the the overflowing sewage flowed into the ditch next to DaHaan Motors and into Delavan Lake. And that was in the early 1980's.
