Milwaukee Common Council Still Interfering with Fire And Police Commission
interesting that they don’t bother to actually name the police chief (or fire chief) in their missive.
full disclosure: Tony Zielinski is my alderman and the only thing I agree with him on from this video is the fact he isn’t going to run for his aldermanic seat while running for mayor. And he is also correct. He is one of the hardest working campaigners that I know.
But he’s certainly tilted […]
Our Airport
This has been sitting on the back burner for some time. A letter to the editor from the September 28, 2017 edition of the print Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decried the operation of the Mitchell International Airport…fondly remembered by us old farts as General Billy Mitchell Field. I don’t want to go into the issues he […]

Side Note on Police High Speed Pursuit.
Now I don’t know what is the better police pursuit policy…only chasing violent criminals and suspected felons…or pursuing every suspect that police come in contact with…that is what the current discussion with the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission and Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn will hopefully determine. But while researching MKE Common Council Joint […]
Yesterday, in Milwaukee Common Council Needs to Make Up Its Mind, I promised to reprint their joint letter on the tempest in a tea cup around Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn and the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission…plus the mayor and city attorney. Well here it is with my comments (sorry that it is […]
Over the past two weeks the Milwaukee Common Council has take two different positions in relation to the civilian Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission…the body that hires the Police and Fire Chiefs.
First they wanted to usurp the commisision’s control over the police chief my requesting the state to change the rules and […]
Tammy Baldwin For Senate: Knock It Off!
Yesterday I received a letter asking for a contribution from the Tammy Baldwin for Senate campaign. I supported Senator Baldwin in 2012 with my wallet and my vote.
