MARQUARDT: I have no problem with food and refreshments during long in-house meetings, as long as it is kept reasonable (like pizza or sub sandwiches). However, if the meeting is helf off-site, or for generally social purposes, the individuals should cover the cost themselves.
WILLIAMS: Especially in these tough economic times with people losing pay, jobs and homes, West Bend
having the #3 highest unemployment in Wisconsin, and higher taxes at all levels of government, I would attend
the team function but simply pay my own way using my personal funds.

WEIGAND: It is important to remember, as public employees, that money comes from the taxpayer and must be guarded. I am not condemning them for having luncheons, just reminding them to be mindful of cost.
CORAZZI**: I believe that all effective leaders should offer recognition and say thank you to team members who
deliver quality results. West Bend students achieve academically at one of the lowest per pupil spending rates
and highest student:teacher ratios. These results require teamwork to deliver and deserve occasional
appreciation.

VAN EERDEN**: I support conservative spending that is focused on strategic initiatives.
KNEPEL: WITHDRAWN FROM RACE
RAKOWSKI: The budget needs to be defined so that all expenditures, at all levels, are justified, documented, audited and followed up. The budget, at all levels, should be open to the public.
ZIEGLER: NO RESPONSE.
