This is true. I too am not far from Manitowoc County and my impression whenever I have been in that area is that most think SA is guilty and do not want to hear any evidence to the contrary. However, in most of the area surrounding that county people are more open minded and willing to listen to reason. My take on this is that the residents of that area are, as another post above pointed out, afraid to speak out about what they truly believe. It is sad any way you reason it but one thing most people agree on is that their fears in regard to speaking out are not without basis--the corruption is real and the citizens know it. Most won't admit that out loud but they know it nonetheless.
That is pretty sad. I have noticed more and more locals on forums, and some on FB (although not as many because it's not as anonymous), all say close to the same thing. Thanks for the local perspective
