A Sad Day For Tosa, Milwaukee County

[midnight]

Yesterday, while the rest of the state was anxiously watching and waiting for answers to an unprecedented six recall elections, Scott Walker quietly returned to the scene of one of his crimes.

He returned to Wauwatosa, and was joined by people like Tosa Mayor Jill Didier, County Executive Chris Abele, Board Chairman Lee Holloway and Michael Cudahy to do the ground breaking at the county grounds as they begin to the process of razing the grounds and doing irreparable harm to the ecology there, including the cherished Monarch Trail.

Truly a sad day for all of Milwaukee County and a shameful one to those that allowed this to happen.http://milwaukeecountyfirst.com/

Now try to tell me our state and county forests and parks aren't at risk....

I wish we could come up with a better word than the polite "privitization." It's more like looting and pillaging.

4. Thank you for this link.. I notice that the first paragraph

talks about the misleading name... This is the MO of ALEC... and the fact that Walker wanted this land for his buddies the whole time he is in office and is now getting help from this new County Executive, Abele, is concerning. And you right on to know it is looting and pillaging...

5. For those not familiar with Carlos Santigao... he was the UWMilwaukee

Chancellor having his students tazored and arrested... Looks like he as the one pushing for this deal...



"Santiago and Herzog were two of the main forces driving the whole development of the county grounds. They were able to get things this far, despite the fact that the developers simply don’t have the funds to do all the grand things that they are promising.

Without these two providing the push to get it all ramrodded through without enough thought or care, now would be the perfect time for everyone to pause, catch their breath, and to rethink this whole plan and weigh it against alternatives."http://milwaukeecountyfirst.com/?p=1801
