Corruption is the Norm

Menominee struggles with a past that haunts its future, plagued by narrow-minded views and a corrupt system that stifles growth and safety.

The overbearing tactics of the Menominee police force has devasted the service industry in Menominee. Once a thriving bar and restaurant, scene, first street is now a sad and depressing place that only the elderly and the homeless will visit.

"Menominee police offer freedom for sexual favors, but its not free, they make you perform controlled buys, all the while keeping you high, so you will do anything." - Anonymous

"If you are black, Latino, or just a new face, good luck. Prepare to get pulled over for not making a complete stop. If you are walking, they will still get you. They will lie and say you look like a person with a warrant." - Libertarian Party Of Menominee County.

Our Troubled Legacy

In Menominee, fear reigns after dark, as industry fades and hope dwindles, leaving a community yearning for change amidst despair and division.

Ignorance is the Only Industry

In Menominee the only industry that dares enter a depressed and bleak market is the Marijuana dispensaries. With disregard to any fiscal responsibility or economic prowess the citizens of Menominee fight this expansion.

While the majority of the population love to speak about the free market and how it will solve all, they do not appear to see the Irony of protesting against the marijuana industry. With little education, and narrow minded views straight from the 1936 movie reefer madness, the people of Menominee continue to fight against the only people willing to invest in this once proud city.

These same people are somehow ok with the massive consumption of alcohol and the domestic violence it brings. Alcohol and violence are tolerated, while smoking a joint is considered taboo.
