In the case of transit if you mean they are pushing for an RTA well then yes I'm pretty sure they are, as we all should be. We desperately need an RTA to take over transit.<br /><br />An how was it bad to have MPD police you know the City of Milwaukee, whether it be a park or a street the areas were in the city's boundaries. Seemed far to logical. A buddy of mine tells the story of calling 911 after breaking up a fight. The victim was in the park, he was calling from the street... oh who to send...ridiculous.Dave Reidhttp://urbanmilwaukee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-63528386331713426572013-01-09T07:10:27.240-06:002013-01-09T07:10:27.240-06:00There is no possible way to spin this except that ...There is no possible way to spin this except that Madison republican legislators are taking away local control! <br /><br />Which is not surprising because they have done it numerous times already.

It also advocates for the privatization of the parks, the transit system, the airport and the zoo as well as many of the services the county currently offers.<br /><br />Look at the way Abele wants to dump county responsibilities on the city, such as the park patrols and the cell phone emergency calls.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-80012678587586238432013-01-08T22:30:06.073-06:002013-01-08T22:30:06.073-06:00Chris, with all due respect for your illuminating ...Chris, with all due respect for your illuminating perspective. I would suggest you re-read the Public Policy Forum's analysis of County Government. I did and I attended the executive briefing. I do not believe it makes the case for dismantling County Government, because it lays out the difficulties (who will assume what part of County debt) in parceling out function to another (public or private) institution. In fact, this might be the best time for all of us to read it again.Bill Sellhttp://milwaukeerenaissance.comnoreply@blogger.com
