MPSD Ethics Complaint

I have maid the following ethics complaint to the Manitowoc Public School District regarding the conduct of member elect Antonio (Tony) Vlastelica.

Say It Ain't Voter Fraud!

 


Tony Vlastelica has become an interesting character in Manitowoc Politics.  He has formed a political group known as "The Constitutionalists".  that together with his pals Matthew Spaulding and Matthew Phipps have now won effective control of the Manitowoc Public School Board (MPSD).with considerable help from the local GOP.  The board already had a couple crackpot reactionaries appointed by curmudgeon County Exec. Bob Ziegelbauer such as Tyler Martel and GOP County Chair Collin Braunel.  Together they waged their own version of an Infowar assault on both the public school system and the public library claiming that the School district and library were in cahoots to distribute pornography to school kids. (yeah you read that right!)

Constitutionalist HQ
The Constitutionalists show their address to be 314 North 8th Street in Manitowoc which appears to be a pet grooming business called "Daisey Woo".  County records show it to be owned by an individual from Rural Two Rivers.  We have not been able to locate any records that identifies them as either a political party or lobbying group.

Tony (Antonio) appears to own a business known as Contemporary Energy Solutions, LLC which according to his linkedin account is located in Manitowoc Wisconsin.  Only no street address is listed.  Just a PO box.  The only known address for him is his residence at   The business is not a Wisconsin corporation but is registered in Illinois.

What is interesting about this is the address of the officer and registered agent.


State of Illinois Corporate record



Address of Registered Agent


Illinois law requires registered agents of its corporations to reside in the State of Illinois according to Article 2B of Illinois corporate filing laws.

" Who May be a Registered Agent? The registered agent must be either:

     • a person who resides in Illinois, OR 

    • a corporation specifically authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to act as a registered agent and which has an office in Illinois."

So, in Illinois Vlastelica is claiming that he is a resident of Naperville.  In fact an apparent relative lives in the house but that person is not the company's registered agent.  What is even more curious that that the owner is someone named "Teddy Bear".
Who is 'Teddy Bear'?

At the same time Wisconsin law requires all overs and especially candidates to live in the district that they vote in.

So, for purposes of voting and running for office Vlastelica has been claiming to live in Manitowoc while at the same time also claiming to live in Naperville IL to satisfy Illinois corporate law.
Which is it?

All the while he has been doing this he has been siding with former President Trump in claiming that the election was rigged.  

All this is before you consider the crack pot positions he has taken such as claiming that the Public Library has been distributing pornography to minors and therefore wants to stop the school district from distributing library cards to students.     


NOTE:
12.13 Election fraud.
(1)  Electors. Whoever intentionally does any of the following violates this chapter:
(a) Votes at any election or meeting if that person does not have the necessary elector qualifications and residence requirements.
(b) Falsely procures registration or makes false statements to the municipal clerk, board of election commissioners or any other election official whether or not under oath.


UPDATE 4/14/2022

Tony has now transferred the agent status to his mother (Or sister?) living at the same address in Naperville.  However he continues to show his address as "manager" at the same house on Beth Lane in that city.

UPDATE 4/15/22
Yesterday Mr. Vlastelica posted his official response on his facebook campaign page.
Just after midnight one of his supporters made a threatening call to my wife's cell phone which I reported to the police.  The man said his name was Jonathan however the officer said they had tracked him down and his real name was Julian Valdez, a convicted criminal on probation.
