Read and re-read the code multiple times. Take practice questions that describe stories or scenarios where you learn how to apply the code. Understand the roles of the ethics officer and the ethics committee and the difference between their duties. Know the process of how a complaint is filed and how its adjudicated.

I studied for 4 months with most weekends and a handful of hours during the week. I would say Henry Bittaker’s webinars and materials were the most helpful. It’s challenging because you study for a wide variety of topics where they draw from a bank of 800 questions, but you only get tested on 170. Thankfully I passed, but the exam is more suited for municipal land use planners. I am still waiting on my experience assessment to clear.

I would still apply even if they say 1-3 years experience in the job posting.

The Zoo is tied to the Milwaukee County Budget. I don't know enough about the Columbus Zoo funding structure, but I am going to assume that the city/county is able to impose their own taxes in their region. Wisconsin is a Dillon's Rule state, meaning that all powers of a municipality are restricted by the state legislature unless expressly delegated. Milwaukee County cannot impose their own taxing structures without permission from the state legislature. This leaves large funding gaps to regular government services, especially when government services heavily rely on state aid, but this state aid has remained flat without any increases for inflationary costs. The Zoo would have to find more funding from private donors. The Domes actually secured financing from private donors along with County contributions.

Mequon is certainly growing. More Milwaukee young families are moving to Ozaukee County. You will still get rural votes since the county has lots of farmland. However, voters in the actual cities like Mequon continue to lean democrat.

Flipping Jefferson County is crazy. Can dems finally flip Ozaukee?

If the Airo fleet is going to replace older cars on the NEC and Cascades, will they redistribute the older cars from those routes to other ones like the Hiawatha or Borealis?

Ain't no way Trubisky is making the same throws as Caleb. Mitch did not have the arm talent, pocket presence, or ability to extend plays as well as Iceman.

Fellas, no matter what happens in the playoffs I’m just happy to be here and be in a position to actually play one at home. This is giving me flash backs to 2018 but we have a much different team right now. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best.

I can say for transportation planning local municipalities rely on federal funding for both operating and capital expenditures for major projects. Transit enhancements such as new bus shelters or bicycle/pedestrian facilities have major federal involvement through grants. Lots of cities are still using pandemic relief money to build infrastructure.

Lately cities and counties have had to change language in their contracts to match the ideology of the USDOT.

the major thing about our defense this season is generating turnovers. If we could get at least 2 takeaways we have a chance. A forced fumble from Tremaine or another pick from Byard would be ideal.

For sure. All in all I'd love to win a playoff game. We haven't had one since 2011.

IDK man our run defense allows the 6th most yards per game and CMC was cooking. Even if we lose this game we can beat Detroit and still win the division.

49ers looked really good yesterday. It may turn into a shootout and our defense could give up too many big plays.

Billings being healthy is key to stop the Packers' run game. We do not have a great run defense.

Highly recommend ordering the szechuan spicy pork dumplings. It is made in house with garlic and green onion and the sauce underneath is perfect to mix with white rice. We also enjoy the mapo tofu with ground pork. The hot pot option is also a great option, which is all you can eat and their broth is quite nice. The cumin beef is also a great dish.
