“As we’ve done in the past, we will keep the guiding principles of racial equity, collaboration, and long-term sustainability at the forefront of our budget deliberations,” said Chairwoman Nicholson. “This is a collaborative effort, and I welcome all residents to engage, and work with us to forge a future that is brighter for Milwaukee County.”
