This document was submitted to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission in response to an ethics complaint filed against me for participating in the Gillett Street road improvement project decision.

Highlights of the complaint response document include:

• Because I live on Gillett Street, I sought multiple legal opinions, including input from two of our municipal Town attorneys, prior to participating in the project decision.

• A decision by the Board to ‘reclaim and repave the road surface’ saved $1.1 million, when compared to the alternative of reconstructing the road.  The decision represents a much better value for taxpayers.

• The Board failed to take action on the Gillett Street project in May of 2023, when I (Jeff Ings) had recused myself from the project discussion.  The failure of two Board members to act at this meeting appears to have been a politically motivated decision.  

• An ethics complaint was filed against me by individuals known to be associated with Tim Bantes, former Chairman Dave Schowalter and Supervisor Brad Gehring. Because evidence shows the complaint to be politically motivated, hopefully commissioners at the Ethics Commission will not only dismiss the complaint, but find it to be frivolous.
