Dane Co. Supv. de Felice: Proposes County Board Reform

Contact: Supv. Dave de Felice (608) 628-0659
MADISON – Dane County Supervisor Dave de Felice (Dave day full-LEE’-chay) is proposing to avoid future controversies like the investigation of former Dane County Board Chair Kevin Kesterson by requiring county supervisors to relinquish their leadership positions if charged with criminal conduct or drunk driving. “No one is saying give up your elected job. That’s for voters to decide,” Supv. de Felice said “But step aside from your leadership position. It’s the decent and logical thing to do.” ...
As a former caucus staffer who repeatedly -- though ineffectively -- campaigned on state time for Wally Kunicki and Assembly Democrats, David might want to be a bit more careful about sanctioning others who've not yet been convicted. I suspect a few of his Dane County colleagues might ask for him to step down if they were made aware of his participation in the caucus scandal. Unless of course, it's not the offense itself but the getting caught that is the problem. Perhaps stepping down would also be the decent and logical thing for him to do.
