They argue that rejecting the complaint will support work on the project through Wisconsin.

Brian Fliss, Burlington town supervisor since June 2021 and diagnosed with ALS in August 2024, is resigning effective October 1 because his worsening health no longer supports the role — marking a pause in his public service.
