To make this streetcar “user friendly” Mayor Barrett must eradicate the “unwanted.” As riders and new businesses move in, we will be moved out!!
Remember what happened at Northridge? Been around there lately? Well the same arguments are being made here. This “white rail” is the catalyst to making downtown and surrounding areas more attractive to potential streetcar riders. We will be out of sight and out of mind once and for all!

What happened to Milwaukee’s War on Blunt Wraps
Some time ago Common Council President/Alderman Willie Hines banned the sale of drug paraphernalia by local gas stations, corner stores, and local businesses. Today you can find these products everywhere you turn so I wonder what happened to that ban and why now are blunt wraps and designer drugs in the convenience stores with little to no restrictions on them. Many places you go, you can find someone smoking their swisher sweet blunts right out in public with or sans weed. I thought we were working on stopping the promotion of drug use which included things that imply drug use?

Some weeks ago Mayor Barrett announced that he was leading a team of business and community leaders to rethink Wisconsin Avenue, to aide businesses in that immediate area and help the area become more economically viable as well as appeasing to the eye. Well that is all swell, but seems the mayor forgot about a project he was going to revitalize in his campaigning for mayor, help prosper and redevelop. What happened to developing Bronzeville dear mayor?

Why is Mayor Barrett contracting with outside-the-city/state debt collectors and spending ridiculous amounts of money on city of Milwaukee business that should be located and operated in Milwaukee? If you should happen to become delinquent on a parking ticket, you will find that the great state of Illinois is retrieving your debt, collecting their money off the top for doing it, and employing thousands of telemarketers to do it.

Mayor Hines, hello are you still with us?
2012: The battle for a new era in Milwaukee! So much at stake for us colored folk and so much will remain ‘business as usual” in Milwaukee if you don’t step up real soon, like asap! For several months and really for his entire term, you have been the watchful guardian over this city, doing what you can to keep us afloat. God only knows where black folk, or the entire city would be if you weren’t President of the Common Council. I know you are not big on words and more of an “Action Jackson” kind of guy, but Willie please, BLOW YOUR HORN!!!

Milwaukee’s Legacy Bank, wrestling with losses on loans, has been told by regulators to raise capital or sell itself to another financial institution.
The Federal Reserve has issued a directive that declares Legacy “significantly undercapitalized,” and gives the bank and its parent company, Legacy Bancorp Inc., 60 days to remedy the situation.

I do a lot of the shopping for our home and I can’t help to notice that prices to many commodities are inching upward and like many people I’m feeling it.
