Congratulations!! Thank you!! Stay safe!!👏👏👏

Congratulations to both Lt. John Phillips and Officer Eric Lemirand on reaching their 3-stripe milestone, for 15 years of law enforcement service! Both joined Wausau PD in 2009.

Lieutenant Phillips currently serves as a Patrol Lieutenant and is our Lead Tactical Instructor, responsible for organizing the regular tactical trainings for staff and instructs in various roles. He is also a member of our Mobile Field Force.

Officer Lemirand currently serves as an Officer assigned to our Crisis Assessment Response Team, helping assist persons in crisis. He is also a pilot assigned to our UAV (drone) team.

Thank you both for choosing to serve the City of Wausau!

*For every 5 years of law enforcement service, we present our staff with a gold service stripe to be worn on their long-sleeve uniform. Service stripes are small, but each stripe is significant and symbolizes a tremendous amount of positive impacts each officer has made in our community.

Financial Legacy

Dealing with your own mortality can be difficult and overwhelming. So much so, that often times you may choose not to think about it at all. You may put off, or ignore altogether, your responsibilities to your loved ones because you are either beleaguered by the subject or you simply do not know where to start. In so doing, you run the risk of diluting your legacy and failing to preserve many of the things that you have worked so hard to achieve.

Financially speaking, most of your focus is probably on the here and now. You concentrate on paying your bills, earning enough money to support your family, and setting aside some money for retirement. A big part of your overall financial responsibility, however, is to ensure that you do not leave unanswered questions and undesired consequences for your family and friends. Your focus on the present will mean a lot less if you do not complete the picture by planning for the future.

This is a huge topic that requires a lot of consideration across a variety of matters, most of which are complex enough to warrant the attention of an attorney, a CPA, and/or a financial advisor. Developing a will and a detailed estate plan involves multiple steps and careful thought and these actions are absolutely necessary if you want to ensure that your intentions are clear and your wishes are protected.

For our purposes, we are going to concentrate solely on the financial aspect of this planning and some simple guidelines that will assist you in making some decisions that are key components in securing and strengthening your financial legacy.

For those of you not familiar with cicadas, let me provide you with a brief introduction.
A New Use for an Old Cliché
This cliché is constantly misunderstood.  When you hear it, you are likely to think of making your bed the same way you thought of it when you were a kid; that it means you are restoring order to it by pulling up, tucking in, and generally arranging the sheets and covers after you have slept in it.  With this thought as your frame of reference, this cliché is non-sensical.  Why would anyone lie in the bed they just made?
STOP!
