Neighbors in Dodge County rally call to action for health meeting Tuesday, June 16

June 16, 2020 – Dodge Co., WI – Neighbors in Dodge County are rallying a call to action as a meeting is being held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 regarding the “health and safety” of the public.

Teresa Roll is a resident of Dodge County. She started reading a draft of the agenda (posted below) and indicated “it made her stand up and take notice” because of new restrictions the county may impose.

“I want to know where our checks and balances are because it seems the Dodge County Health Department is pushing this along pretty fast,” said Roll.

“There’s verbiage in there that they can remove you from the county. I want to know where they’re moving me to,” she said. “They can come in and confiscate whatever they deem they need to for whatever disease maybe contagious.”

“Let’s be clear, the World Health Organization doesn’t know jack beans about COVID-19 and what it does; they keep changing their minds.”

Roll said she was most put off by the idea that a hired health nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree would make suggestions and then go to the board for approval.  “I love all nurses, but she will be making decisions to go to the board or issue a special warrant if someone does not let the county in. There is so much stuff done in this state that was unconstitutional and I don’t want to see it on the county level,” she said.

“American people are wonderful. We got sideswiped by this thing, whatever people want to believe it is. It’s here but at the same time we need to use common sense,” she said.

Roll contacted two Dodge County Supervisors. “One of the supervisors sent me and email and another said they are receiving a lot of feedback,” she said.

County Supervisor Mary Bobholz said the worries and concerns about this proposal are overblown. “The items in the draft are just being presented on Tuesday and the Health & Human Services Committee is co-sponsoring this proposal,” she said. “The whole purpose of the ordinance is to give a guideline.”

During a telephone interview Bobholz used the example of a hypothetical case of Hepatitis C being traced to a salon. “The health officer can request an order be drawn up against the salon and that order has to be co-signed by the county board chairman and then it has to go before the whole county board to be voted on before it can be presented to that person. If the person being questioned chooses not to do anything about the order then they can be fined at that time.”

Bobholz said the ordinance was drawn up by Corporation Council Kim Nass.

“This is a health ordinance against any communicable health hazard including COVID,” she said. “This is a general health ordinance. This is happening now because of COVID because we had nothing in place.”

Bobholz said they are not trying to shut businesses down or make people stay home.

  1. It is my understanding at the June 16th meeting they are scheduled to have discussion on the subject and NO public comments will be taken. The vote will be taken at the July meeting. If you want to have public input the Dept of Human Services, of which the health officer is within, is having their committee meeting July 1 at 6pm. Then on July 6 the executive board is having their committee meeting at 8am. These meetings generally allow for public comments before the meetings and both will be held in the admin bldg. Because the public will not be allowed into the meeting on June 16th (but only allowed to watch a live feed in a different room), it was suggested that those in opposition arrive at 5:30/5:45 pm to peacefully stand together in a show of disapproval.

  3. The supervisor comments are NOT how the draft is written in plain English. That may be the intent but that is not what the proposed ordinance reads. Just a power grab

  4. It’s a power grab by Evers and the head of DHS..
    Shutting down counties or the state will kill Wisconsin’s economy..

  5. Jayne please let me know how we can direct attention to this meeting.You can message me at [email protected]. I can make a bunch of signs…maybe mailers etc.I hope the media will pick up on this. Next will be mandated vaccines and if you dont submit they will remove you and force it….crazy
