County executive hopeful's vision stresses stability
BY PETE BACH • POST-CRESCENT STAFF WRITER • FEBRUARY 2, 2011

Thomas Nelson sums up his vision for the county in one word: stability."

"Outagamie County is a relatively well-run county," he said. "We have a triple-A bond rating. We're under the levy limit. And we have one of the lowest per capita spending rates in the state. So the challenge is to accomplish stability."

Nelson is one of six people seeking to succeed retiring County Executive Toby Paltzer. A Feb. 15 primary election will reduce the field to two finalists for the April 5 election. The position, which carries a four-year term, is nonpartisan.

The primary threat to the vision is a reduction in state aid, Nelson said.

I question the sanity of the voters of Outagamie County. The results of the election will show if they believe in big spending, raise your taxes liberal like Tom Nelson or send him back to a private and out of politics future job. Nelson talks about state aid reduction ? Who created the budget deficit in Wisconsin? Nelson and his fellow democrats bankrupted the state, robbed state funds, taxed hospital beds and now wants voters to elect him county executive. 


The voters last November gave Nelson the thumbs down when he ran with Tom Barrett for Governor. Why in their right minds would they put him in charge of Outagamie County ?


I will ask again, are the voters in Outagamie County insane?
