Mayor Barrett Ready to Force StreetCar Down our Throats

It appears that the Mayor of Milwaukee is ready and willing to throw as much money as it takes to get his beloved streetcar and he doesn't care what happens to the rest of Milwaukee as long as he gets his streetcar. After the Public Service Commission said that it was the City's responsibility to pay for moving utilities for the streetcar, the cost skyrocketed. So Mayor Barrett is now suing the Public Service Commission and has decided that going from $65 Million now to a whopping $114 Million is fine as long as he gets his streetcar. How are we going to pay for it? Raising property taxes he proposes. So here we are in a city that has major issues facing it. Milwaukee Public Schools are in trouble, Crime is out of control, the infrastructure is falling apart, unemployment is super high and the Mayor wants to raise taxes for a streetcar? He has asked for help to pay to fix the streets, he hasn't come up with a plan for the crime, unemployment and school problems. Yet he wants to spend $114 Million on a Streetcar. Forget that nobody even wants the thing except the Mayor, how far would all that money go in helping solving many of the other problems? Lets not forget that the city is also trying to figure out how to build the Bucks a new arena. Who is going to be willing to give the city money if it is blowing all of this on a streetcar? A STREETCAR THAT GOES ALL OF 4.5 MILES!!!!
