Mayor Barrett grasping at straws

Statement from Alderman Bob Donovan June 17, 2014

By State Rep. Bob Donovan - Jun 17th, 2014 09:04 am

Regarding the announcement yesterday of the mayor’s new guns hotline, I would like to point out that we used to have a hotline in Milwaukee — it was called 9-1-1.

People used to call 9-1-1 and the cops would actually show up!
