Milwaukee Bucks Ownership Lays out Plans for Entertainment District

The Ownership of the Milwaukee Bucks layed out the ambitious plans for a $1 Billion entertainment district and new arena.

There is little doubt that this would be a good thing for Milwaukee.  The problem is that the Milwaukee Mayor and the Milwaukee County Exec don't want to invest in this project.  Both have stayed out of the conversation except for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett supporting the State Government to help finance it.

We all are aware that Milwaukee will be hard pressed to find funding after agreeing to spend $100 Million plus on the Barrett StreetCar.

The Mayor of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee County Exec both want the Taxpayers of the entire state to help fund a major project in Milwaukee that will benefit Milwaukee?


Chief Justice of Wisconsin Supreme Court Files Lawsuit

It is amazing that the Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court would file a lawsuit to try and hold on to the Chief Justice Title.

Even more amazing is that she signed the paperwork for lawsuit even before the voters of Wisconsin had voted to allow the other Justices to vote on the Chief Justice.

The Legislature and the voters have both decided that they want the Supreme Court Justices to vote for who they want to be the Chief Justice.  Apparently it is too important to Justice Shirley Abrahamson that she has filed suit to keep the job through 2019.

Amazing!!!  The Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court has said that she doesn't care what the Constitutional Amendment says she is going to fight it.
