Town of Waukesha hires Kathy Nickolaus to three-year contract as clerk-treasurer

[deminks]

Holy Moly.


The town of Waukesha board hired Kathy Nickolaus to a three-year contract as its clerk-treasurer at its board meeting Thursday night.

The board made the unanimous decision after it met for just under an hour in closed session.

Nickolaus has been serving in this role for the last month after being hired by the board at a special board meeting March 18.

Nickolaus, the former Waukesha County clerk, had previously said she didn't want the position past May 1 while the town was in transition with its clerk-treasurer position.

But her contract now keeps her with the town through May 1, 2017.

Nickolaus is the town's third clerk-treasurer over the last few months.

1. I heard Katherine Harris turned down their original offer.

2. These days, ya gotta have the right software.

Katherine is old school.

/sarcasm off

9. Katherine Harris is awful

but at least we knew she was just corrupt. With this woman, it's hard to tell if she is corrupt, plain incompetent, or even worse, incompetent and corrupt. Whoever thought she would be a great fit at counting money when she can't even count votes needs to have their head examined.

3. Really dumb move. At least now she's only in charge of a small township and not (my) whole county

[Scuba]

4. Honor among thieves?

[Aerows]

5. Which does the state of Wisconsin reward more highly?

Corruption or incompetence?

[Arkana]

6. Jesus Christ, how many elections does this woman have to fuck up

before she gets permanently unemployed?

[Aerows]

7. Apparently her "fucking up"

means she has a permanent job. I can't tell if she is incompetent or corrupt, but either one should have her barred from public service.

She can't count votes, now they will have her counting money. What could possibly go wrong?

[deminks]

10. Clerk-treasurer may mean she will be counting both

money and votes. Yikes!

[Aerows]

11. Yikes, indeed

Counting money and votes? Ugh.

[TBF]

8. $32/hr to fix elections? Nice work if you can get it. nt
