Scott Walker wants everyone to “Believe in Wisconsin Again.” Really, he does. In fact, Scott Walker believes in Wisconsin so much that after eliminating 90 county housekeeping jobs right before Thanksgiving, he outsourced cleaning services for the Milwaukee County Courthouse to Mid-American Cleaning Contractors, a company based out of Columbus, Ohio. Walker’s no stranger to outsourcing, [...] Posted by Zach W on December 10, 2009, at 5:23 am
In advance of upcoming contract talks with Milwaukee County’s employee unions, Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway shook up the membership of the board’s Personnel Committee yesterday, removing Supervisors Paul Cesarz, John Weishan, Marina Dimitrijevic, and Johnny Thomas.

Milwaukee County Supervisor Pat Jursik and State Rep. Chris Sinicki, both supporters of redecking the Hoan Bridge no matter if there’s a cheaper alternative, today accused City of Milwaukee officials of attempting to delay the re-decking of the Hoan Bridge.

Last week I wrote about the passage of Milwaukee County’s 2010 budget, and at the time I couldn’t help but wonder if Supervisor Pat Jursik, who voted in favor of giving County employees an extra four furlough days next year – bringing the total number of furlough days for county employees to 12 – would [...] Posted by Zach W on November 20, 2009, at 5:52 am

The board’s veto overrides will increase the property tax levy by $5.6 million, which equates to an increase of 18 [...] Posted by Zach W on November 13, 2009, at 10:31 am
I’ve written a little about the news that two groups have formed to recall Milwaukee County Supervisors Pat Jursik and Theo Lipscomb, and in the interest of transparency, here’s copies of the registration documents filed by each group: The “Glendale Residents for Honest Representation” group was registered by Toni Hill of Glendale, while the “No Tax [...] Posted by Zach W on November 12, 2009, at 5:32 am
Since their successful effort to recall former County Executive Tom Ament and much of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, the Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) haven’t had much success with their assorted recall efforts. Their effort to get Gov. Jim Doyle recalled was a failure, as were efforts to recall Cudahy Mayor Ryan [...] Posted by Zach W on October 1, 2009, at 8:42 pm
