All three received commendations from the Portage County EMS Association – Jim and Jerry for 25 years and Keith for 10 years. Next time you see them give them a hearty thank you! This holiday season the Town of Grant will be collaborating with Portage County Solid Waste Department and Habitat for Humanity by collecting Christmas light strands November – January (see the flyer). There will be a receptacle to drop off your lights at the Transfer Station. Ask an attendant if you don’t spot the location. The Town Board held its monthly meeting on Wednesday. Clerk Stefanie Schlapa has been very busy working on our 2026 budget, among all the other things due at year’s end – thank you! The budget hearing will be held on Monday December 1 beginning at 6:00pm. The Northern Lights were on display Wednesday evening. Here’s a beautiful picture right here from our Town! (Attached below) Fall is hanging on…for now. Enjoy, Sharon

Weekly News Blast

The board held its monthly meeting on Wednesday. There were two items requested of Clerk Stefanie Schlapa. One was the current cost to taxpayers of two lawsuits brought against the Town by petitioner and former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht. Our insurer covered the cost of one suit up to $10,000. The second was also covered up to $10,000 with additional payments by taxpayers of $7,668.66 to date. We anticipate additional payments will be forthcoming as litigation is ongoing. The second item was the number of Open Records Requests (ORRs) made by the aforementioned petitioner and Diana Luecht. Schlapa reported 79 requests made in 2023-2024. Contrast that to less than 10 ORRs in 15 years; primarily from contractors requesting information on bid results and let contracts.

Absentee ballots were mailed out on Tuesday for the April 1 spring election. In-person voting will be available at the Town Hall on Saturday March 22 from 9:00am – 3:00pm. Incumbent Supervisors Scott Provost and Doug Steltenpohl are being challenged by Russ Brody and Kathy Woodard. Incumbent Treasurer Greg Hakala is being challenged by Diana Luecht. Clerk Stefanie Schlapa and I as Chair are running unopposed.

Enjoy the wonky winter/spring weather, Sharon
