Title: Subject: Mayor's Veto 1. To the Common Council of the City of Racine, Wisconsin Re: Veto of item 11-6716 of the Racine Common Council Meeting of August 16, 2011. Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to the authority granted to me under Wisconsin Statute 62.09(8)(c), I hereby object to and veto the Common Council action recommending that the candy store at 1132 S. Memorial Dr. be given an exemption on the mandate to remove the bars from the outside to the inside of the building. My reasons for filing this objection are as follows: 1. The City has set a confusing precedent for the business community by allowing one establishment to have bars on their windows when we have consistently required new applicants to take them down or not put them in place. 2. I believe there is a safety issue with regard to anyone caught in the building if there is a fire. If there is a fire, the bars on the outside of the windows would make it impossible to escape.
