Last in a three-part series on the Stewardship of Sharing
By Jeff Kurowski
Compass Assistant Editor
"Consistent."
That's how Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt describes himself as a steward.
Whether he's spending time with his family or working on the city budget, his approach to stewardship remains the same.
"When I became mayor, I said I would give of my time to be a father and lead the city," said Schmitt. "I've been asked to do things outside the community, but my focus is here. My personal life mirrors my public life, and I think I've shown that."
Kids' Day serves as an example. The celebration, which began in the Schmitt household, is now a city event.
"We did it at our house," explained Schmitt, who became the 41st mayor of Green Bay in 2003. "There's Mother's Day in May and Father's Day in June. June 25th, six months before
Christmas became Kids' Day. They didn't have to make their beds on that day. We took them to lunch where they wanted to go. When I became mayor, I thought we ought to do that as a city."
Kids' Day in Green Bay includes free rides at Bay Beach Amusement Park, free transit service, free admission to city swimming pools and aquatic centers, lunch with the mayor and
more. Full story ...
