Judges are entrusted with enormous authority, but they are not supposed to be above the law. Attorneys Kirsten Hildebrand and Matt Kaplan discuss Judge Hannah Dugan’s federal case, the ways judges can be disciplined and the challenges of electing judges who are expected to remain impartial. They also explore how campaign fundraising, political labels and the pressure of reelection can create questions about bias in the courtroom. The conversation balances those concerns with stories of judges who have made a positive difference, including Judge Joe Donald’s work creating Milwaukee County’s drug treatment court, Judge Kristy Yang’s service to the Hmong community and Judge Mary Triggiano’s work on behalf of children and families.

Cirrus Plans Germantown Rental Development

Carillon at Germantown is a proposed rental development by Cirrus Property Group. The firm also has a project underway in Grafton. The Germantown development has been described with differing unit counts in public records and reporting. A site plan application filed with the village identifies Daniel Hasbani of Cirrus Property Group as agent for Tanner Hahn of Faith Lutheran Church and describes the project as a 36-unit multifamily development at W172N11187 Division Road. A Milwaukee Business Journal report from January similarly characterized the plan as a 36-unit rental project. But a BizTimes report on the same church-partnered proposal described it as a 42-unit apartment community, and the available records do not clarify whether the project's size changed between filings or whether the two accounts refer to different versions of the plan.
