Failed Jeopardy! Contestant Shakes Up Local Government

Michael uh Mr. Town Supervisor. What what what do we call you? Your honor, your eminence, your majesty. Not to brag, but when I was 25, I was on Jeopardy. I was on Jeopardy and I lost. Well, why don't we start with just first of all, what the heck does a town supervisor do? You came in in an era where you had to rebuild trust. And you're coming in now fiscally responsible, playing politics, building trust. We have nothing to hide. you know, with the thinking that if we're doing everything right, even if we make mistakes, there'll be honest mistakes. We're here to rebuild. We're here to work together. We're all we're all really looking for the same thing. You know, your town is is kind of like the North Korea of Rock County. Don't be the North Korea. And I actually said, "Well, I think we're more like the Israel of Rocky County." What's the best part of your job? What do you love the most when I hear from people how I actually help them?

My kids love the new playground. Pickle ball is huge. I We cannot have enough pickle ball cards. Everybody wants pickle ball. I find as long as you get back to people right away and you answer their question and you're not trying to hide from them, most people are happy. Who do you report to as a town supervisor? Who's your superior? My wife Karen Stretch.
