Knee surgery led to the absences


.
In John Pederson’s letter in the March 21 Tribune, he mentioned that Robert Keil was a “friendly, good man, but unfortunately, his attendance has been less than stellar” at La Crosse County Board meetings.

Mr. Pederson needs to know the facts. Robert Keil has never been late to a meeting, never left a meeting early and has never had an unexcused absence from a meeting. His recent excused absences were for total knee replacement surgery and for a vacation after never taking one in 50 years. All were excused.
There are more meetings to attend than just one county board meeting a month. If Pederson thinks there is only one county board meeting a month for candidate Gebhart to arrange his work and travels around, he is mistaken.

Robert Keil has been involved in local government for the past 30 years, recently as the incumbent for District 19 County Board. He is on the La Crosse County Zoning Committee and represents the county for the Wisconsin Counties Association.

He will continue to share his experience and concerns for the citizens of La Crosse County.
