All these fake expressions of shock. These supervisors think the public are idiots.
This is the same County that sold land worth millions for $1. And then gave the Milwaukee Bucks a $200 million freebie gift. So “shock” at $100 million for the public and this local treasure while “yawn” for giving away $200 million to billionaires.
We don’t need a referendum for you to hide behind, Sup. Wasserman. This is what we elect our leaders for – to make the hard, but in this case, obvious decisions. Demo the Domes and let’s move on.
I remember this County Executive who liked to demolish historic County buildings in the middle of the night without following any rules, codes, ordinances or the law. Demolishing the Domes condemns Mitchell Park to becoming another dump with all the harm that flows from a lousy park. There is more going on here than the Domes.
I would guess Milwaukee County parks attract ten to twenty times the number who see ball games at Am Fam Field. While the Big Business crowd calls for people with next to nothing to pay for the Brewers, they never mention funding for our parks. That is because they cannot exploit our parks and natural beauty means little to them. I have no interest in what the Big Fat Cats think about public funding for the Brewers while attacking our city.
