District Attorney Investigates Third District Aldermanic Candidate Bob Schick

By Basil Ryan and Fred Keller

It has come to the attention of THE FRANKLIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL that a complaint has been filed with the Milwaukee District Attorney’s Office against Robert Schick, Jr., an aldermanic candidate for District 3. We have learned that Mr. Schick failed to disclose on his City of Franklin Financial Statement filed on December 28, 2010, his relationship with Waste Management. The complaint alleges that Mr. Schick is an employee of Waste Management, and as such, should have disclosed that fact. The City of Franklin Financial Statement requires that candidates must disclose their relationship with any businesses that deal with Franklin. Waste Management owns and operates the landfill in Franklin.

THE FRANKLIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL reached Mr. Schick at his home and asked him to comment on the investigation. He stated he could not talk about the DA's involvement. When asked if he worked for Waste Management, he stated he was not an employee but did work for them. When pressed with further questions, he stated that the conversation was over. He did not wish to comment any further.
