Milwaukee County Committee on Transportation, Public Works and Transit December 15th, 2008 Meeting Notes

Dec 16th, 2008 | By | Category: KRM Commuter Rail, Neighborhoods, SERTA, Transportation, Public Works, and Transit Committee

The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting of the Committee on Transportation, Public Works and Transit to further discuss the proposed RTA. Supervisors Larson and Jursik hoped to put forward a positive response to the proposed RTA in place of the committee’s overtly negative response that came out of the last committee meeting.

What is Supervisor Coggs Thinking?

Jul 26th, 2008 | By | Category: Board of Supervisors, MCTS, Neighborhoods, Uncategorized

At a time when Milwaukee County is cutting transit service and neglecting our parks, Supervisor Coggs is promoting a $3,600 pay raise for Milwaukee County Board members. This raise would be in the form of a $300 per month transportation allowance and although this new benefit would only cost Milwaukee County an additional $68,400 per year, just the mere requesting of these funds is troubling. It’s troubling because it shows a clear disconnect between Supervisor Coggs and the citizens of Milwaukee. While they are struggling to pay their mortgage and fill up their gas tanks it seems inappropriate for an elected official to be asking for a raise, especially a transportation allowance.
