Well this is interesting…. Alexander — the board’s conservative firebrand — has been axed from her $86,000-per-year state job.  Alexander declined to explain why she was fired by the state Department of Children and Families in recent weeks. She had worked as a section chief in the state division that oversees Milwaukee’s foster…
