I have seen some pretty desperate measures taken in the efforts to oust Mayor Bob Ryan from office, but the latest news coming from Sheboygan just tells me that Ryan deserves to stay in office and finish the job.
As of November 7, 2011, MatiChek, who wanted the recall of Ryan to go forward for the integrity of the city, has not taken out papers to run for mayor yet. However, one person has taken out papers and plans to campaign for Mayor of Sheboygan.
Asher Heimermann is a 17 year-old kid who will turn 18 towards the end of November, in time to run for mayor. Hiemermann has said in a press release, that it is time to “move Sheboygan forward.” He goes on to say that he wants to restore the integrity of the mayor’s office. However, there are things he didn’t say in his press release that will work against him besides his age. His behavior on the Sheboygan Press forums and his own Facebook page has created a buzz for months or even years.
Asher was one of the people who filed a complaint against Mayor Ryan when the city found out about Bob’s problems in Elkhart Lake (three-day drinking binge). Asher’s complaint said that he helped Ryan buy, with his own personal credit card, and pay for his domain name for his campaign website on a city computer in November of 2010.
Asher never had a problem with what he did until the drinking binge came to light months later. Asher also took part in something he told the mayor he thought was illegal. Evidently, using the city computer for campaigns is a no-no and Asher believed this to be true, but did it anyway.
Asher went so far as to ask the district attorney to consider criminal charges against Ryan. DeCecco, would not prosecute because of the delay in bringing the accusations to light and because Asher’s admission that he believed that using a city computer for this type of business was illegal and still helped Ryan pay for his domain.
Now, this is the person that wants to be the Mayor of Sheboygan.
