A normally quiet Racine County neighborhood is in the crime spotlight, as investigation continues into the murder of a Kenosha School District employee, whose body was found Wednesday with a gunshot wound, in the backyard of his home in neighboring Racine County.

Mount Pleasant police chief Tim Zarzecki says the discovery of 51-year old Scott Schoor’s body was made by a co-worker, after Schoor failed to show up for work. Schoor was a long time employee of the facilities division for Kenosha Unified School District, where director Pat Finnemore calls the news “shocking.”

There’s a new proposal to get tough with chronic drunks in the City of Madison. The city would create a “no-serve list” that would ban retailers from selling beer or booze to chronic alcoholics, under a plan from Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and Alderman Michael Schumacher.

Chronic alcoholics have become a chronic problem in Madison, especially downtown. Schumacher says there are up to 150 hard-core alcoholic who are causing most of the problems. Under terms of the proposed ordinance, the city would develop a list of persons deemed off-limits for alcohol sales. Schumacher and others allege chronic drunks are costing the city millions of dollars in police, jail, mental health, detox, and other services.

Green Bay has a similar no-sell list, but it’s only a policy. In Madison, it would be the law, the first in the state to have such an ordinance.
