Winnebago Dems: Attend Republican Corn Roast!

Republican Party chair promises long awaited answers from Julie Pung Leschke
OSHKOSH – Winnebago County Democratic Party Chair Jef Hall today encouraged voters to attend the Republican Party of Winnebago County’s annual corn roast after the GOP County Chair promised attendees could “get candidate literature to answer any un answered questions” in an email invitation to the event.
“We’ve been waiting for Julie Pung Leschke to have the courage to tell voters her position on any number of issues including ethics reform for months,” Hall said. “If voters are tired of Julie Pung Leschke ducking tough questions, they should stop by the corn roast and find out if she even has a position on government reform.”
Claiming she does not have the time, Pung Leshcke has refused to answer a six question survey on reform for more than two months. GOP Chair Michelle Litjens defended the Republican candidate in a letter to the editor in the Oshkosh Northwestern, claiming Leshke shouldn’t have had to answer the survey because it is ‘partisan.’ The survey was circulated by three non-partisan organizations, including the League of Women Voters, an organization in which Pung Leshke claims membership.
“Julie Pung Leshke is currently the only candidate for the 54th Assembly who has not answered a basic six question survey on reform,” Hall continued. “Perhaps tonight is Julie Pung Leshke’s chance to stop acting like a politician and start talking to Oshkosh about the issues that matter.”
“The corn roast will take place Monday, August 28th from 5:30-7:30 pm at Clayton Park on Larsen Road.” Hall concluded. “Don’t leave without answers!”

I missed it. Damn. I wanted to stand in line for some free corn. Kind of like the bread lines I read about in Leningrad.

I want to thank this site for removing certain comments from here earlier today that were inaccurate and obviously intended to be defamatory toward the chairman of our local Democratic Party Jef Hall. In removing them, other comments supportive of Mr. Hall were also removed since they made no sense without the original comments but we understand the reason for it. Since that has happened, Kent Monte has posted the original comment and a followup to the pro-Jef Hall comment on his own site, claiming they were sent to him by email. What's interesting is Jef Hall's press release about the Republican Party's corn roast was posted on Jef's own blog site, Oshkosh News and here. Mr. Monte could have posted it too but he didn't for whatever reason. He managed to sloppily and inaccurately refer to it when posting the other derogatory comments. It's unfortunate that someone who hopes to someday represent us on the common council would either stoop to such a level or allow himself to be used as a pawn in something so childish. It's also unfortunate that while other sites have taken the high road toward maintaining some kind of decorum, Mr. Monte has chosen not to do so with some of the postings he allows.

Yes, I have posted some comments emailed to me that were deleted from this site. I would have posted the whole thing but I didn't want to get sued by Ms. Hentz for violating her disclaimer in the left margin.I was not aware of the other sites posting it. I only have what I posted, nothing else.Mr. Hall can have the whole post removed if he contacts me and asks. This was not meant to get personal but it got that way fast.

You are welcome, Anonymous. Jef Hall thanked me as well and I appreciate both comments. Yes, in keeping with a policy adopted some time ago, the comments in question were deleted for the very reasons you mentioned. Sadly, Mr. Monte chose to selectively post things contained in the deleted portion, claiming that a fear of being sued prevented him from posting the original press release and the subsequent thread of comments in its entirety. I appreciate Mr. Monte's mindfulness that many things on this site are copyrighted. However, it seems to me if he had truly been interested in fairness and posting good comments about Mr. Hall along with the bad, and either had questions about possible copyright infringement or simply wanted to err on the side of caution, he could have contacted me via email. But, alas, that was not to be.
