On the latest edition of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl Hentz spends the first segment talking with and getting to know the new Winnebago County Executive Jon Doemel. He talks about his first few months on the job, the challenges he’s faced already and what changes he would like to see made. He also talks about the upcoming budget for 2022 and what taxpayers can possibly expect when they get their tax bill in December. In the second segment, Mike Stanley, Chief of the Oshkosh Fire Department joins Hentz to chat about an upcoming listening session the department is holding with Oshkosh stakeholders in what they’d like to see from the department in the future. This will help them develop and/or shape their goals as they develop a plan for the next 5 years. The Chief also talks about the best kind of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors people should have in their homes, and that when Daylight Saving Time ends in another month or so, it’s a perfect time to test your detectors to make sure they’re working properly.
