It took the jury just a little over 5 1/2 hours to convict former Alderman Michael McGee Jr. on all nine (9) counts. One Juror stated afterwards that the evidence was so overwhelming against him.
The former Alderman was heard in his own voice, via taped wire taps, calling himself Thug Mike and The Gatekeeper. Now he can be called something more fitting by his cell mates in Prison. The Circus is far from over though, the former Alderman will hear his fate in October on this set of Convictions, yet he still has a State Trial forthcoming.
Justice way late, yet still served!!!!

Craziness for Food Assistance
Some 2500 Residents show up for free food only to find out it is for registering to get assistance for floods.Milwaukee County was prepared to deal with some 1000 residents who needed to apply for federal assistance with replacing food lost in the flooding. What they didn't expect was the extra 1500+ people who showed up. Some thought that they were eligible for free food just because they live in Milwaukee County.
There in lies the problem. People taking advantage of the system.
The Program is set up to assist people who truly lost Food in the flooding and the power outages that took place during the recent Weather. Yet there appears to be a part of the population who feel they are just entitled. Taking advantage of the program and quite frankly of OUR TAX Dollars.
