It would have been helpful for Urban MKE staff to provide information as to what the actual incident was, as that was not mentioned in the County Exec’s statement.
@Mpbehar – Graham Kilmer, our county government reporter, is out on a planned absence for the next two weeks, but as a way of providing a quick summary: some hanging scaffolding near the top of the building that was being used for facade repair slipped and was dangling from the building at a 45-degree angle. Workers on it were trapped and rescued.
Thank you for the clarification!
