“Watching the Packers this season has been a whole lot of fun for our entire state and a great reminder that our shared values of hard work, dedication, and teamwork are a winning combination on the football field and in our communities,” said County Executive Abele. “I’m happy to join my friend County Executive Troy Streckenbach in showing support for the Packers. I have the utmost confidence that Aaron Rodgers and Co. will be able to R-E-L-A-X and keep winning.”
