Former Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus has found herself in a new position as clerk-treasurer for the Town of Waukesha.<br /><br />Nickolaus drew statewide criticism for failing to include votes from Brookfield in a 2011 supreme court race that resulted in a recount.<br /><br />Now she is in charge of another election.<br /><br />"There is no question in my mind that Kathy has the skill set needed to execute a flawless election here in the town of Waukesha," said Joe Banske, Waukesha town supervisor.<br /><br />Bankse is up for reelection April 1. He reached out to Nickolaus after the resignation of the city's former clerk-treasurer on Friday.<br /><br />"We are a small community that has an urgent need and this person is the perfect solution to the situation presented," Banske said.<br /><br />Not everyone on the town board agrees with Nickolaus' appointment.<br /><br />"Well, it's not the qualifications of Kathy that's in question it's the process by which we arrived here at this point," said town chairman John Marek.<br /><br />Marek said the process happened so quickly that four of the five board members never got the chance to interview Nickolaus.<br /><br />The clerk-treasurer position is interim and ends May 1, but Nickolaus could submit her name along with other candidates for the full-time appointment.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Nickolaus is also running for the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors in the 2nd District. She will find out if she wins that seat April 1.<br /><br />Marek and another member voted against supporting her for the position of clerk-treasurer.
