The Kenosha City Council considered this possibility. The Anthony Huber memorial would be located in Anderson Park if it were approved. If the city council decides to have this memorial, the city would pay for it. After seeing the negative attention that this consideration caused, the city council decided to table this memorial proposal.<\/p>\n

From the Daily Mail:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Huber’s girlfriend, Hannah Gittings, requested the memorial be put up earlier this month, public documents filed by the commission show, on a tree in Anderson Park.<\/p>\n

The proposal garnered national attention earlier this week, after Kevin Mathewson, a former Kenosha alderman who now works as an investigative journalist, received a tip early Monday morning about the then-unreported request.<\/p>\n

Mathewson, who served on the commission with three of the five current aldermen – including chair Eric Haugaard – then sent out an email blast about the proposal’s existence, and wrote about it on his website, Kenosha County Eye.<\/p>\n

The proposal soon became the subject of scrutiny by both the press and outraged citizens of Kenosha – who showed up in droves to the commission meeting to voice their opposition to the planned tribute.<\/p>\n

Mathewson, who also attended the meeting and recorded the proceedings to post to YouTube, told DailyMail.com Thursday that he believes the council members planned to quietly the proposal Monday, and would have if its existence had remained under the radar.<\/p>\n

‘There’s not a doubt in my mind it would have passed,’ Matthewson told DailyMail.com in an interview, noting the meetings usually don’t garner such attendance. ‘They didn’t expect a bunch of people to be there.’<\/p>\n

Mathewson’s footage of the meeting, which was streamed live and has since garnered more than 35,000 views, shows a slew of citizens voicing their concerns regarding the memorial, spurring the city officials to vote 3-2 to table the proposal.<\/p>\n

At that point, roughly 21 minutes into the clip, Mathewson – who told DailyMail.com that the board met privately to discuss the vote shortly before the meeting, which is against Wisconsin law – asks to speak, sparking an exchange that saw the former Kenosha alderman accuse the board of violating the state’s open meetings laws.<\/p>\n

‘Thanks for allowing me to speak again,’ an off-screen Mathewson can be heard saying in the footage, before leveling his suspicions at the commission.<\/p>\n

‘I just wanted to point out to those of us watching on Youtube [at] home – three members of this board of five say we’re gonna table it. You know what that means right? A quorum of this board met behind closed doors today-‘<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
