BLOG | CURRENT NEWS 1-14-2025: TOWN CLERK RESIGNS Alli Mathys, Worcester Town Clerk, announced her resignation Monday, 1-6-2025, at a special town board meeting. Her letter of resignation stated that she was subjected to threatening behavior from a few people in the area. That behavior was driven by Facebook posts by one person. Alli did a very good job during time in office. She will be missed by all who worked with her. Alli is the fifth person to resign the Town of Worcester Clerk/Treasurer position in the last five years. The previous three clerks have all stated that their reason for leaving was harassment. The details are in their letters of resignation, which are linked here: Roberta Reese, Scott Revak, and Marcie Bogdanovic. Letters of resignation from public office are subject to the Wisconsin Open Records Law and so are public information. The position of Town Clerk/Treasurer is a public office with statutory duties. 1-7-2025: HILLS ROAD When the federal government renamed Squaw Creek to Aabajijiwani-ziibiinsing Creek, we believed that it was only a matter of time until Squaw Creek Road would also be renamed. Nobody in the area wanted the road name changed to Aabajijiwani- ziibiinsing Creek Road. This road has long been locally known as Rollercoaster Road, and there was initial support for renaming to that. The people living on that road, however, did not like that name. They have had experience with people driving that road at dangerously high speeds, and did not want a road name that would attract even more speeders. While the speed limit is 40 MPH, the maximum safe speed is as low as 25 MPH because of limited sight distance. The property owners on Squaw Creek Road asked the Worcester Town Board to rename it Hills Road instead of Rollercoaster Road. The board agreed,and passed an ordinance to rename it Hills Road effective January 1, 2025.
