Why Milwaukee Is Sunk

How long will it take the City of Milwaukee to become Detroit?  Baltimore? 

That depends on how far along the path it is at this time, right?  So absorb a bit of this story.

Milwaukee Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik has rescinded a high-level promotion to a staffer with a felony conviction for shooting a former girlfriend, two personal bankruptcies and three name changes.

But Kowalik said in an interview this week that it was her concerns about Nabulungi Brister's statements about gays and lesbians on Facebook that prompted the commissioner to nix the appointment.  ...

Attempted murder.  Yah, yah, I know.  Forgive and forget.  Second chance for everyone, right?  Woke!!  Nasty cracks about perverts are FAR worse than attempted murder in the Milwaukee Health (!!!?!!) Department.  Health, yup.

Read a bit further and you get THIS little gem:

...As for Brister's other issues, Kowalik said the staffer was open about her legal and financial troubles,....

Well, s&^% happens, right?  But HOW does it happen??

...Brister filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and again in 2018. Her most recent filing came two months after she landed her city job. She listed assets of $56,000 and liabilities exceeding $322,000, including $150,000 in student loan debt. ...

...Brister emphasized that she has turned her life around. She is now married with three small children, has earned a master's degree in business administration and is working on two doctorates....
Student-loan debt cannot be discharged in BK. so she's still in hock for $150 large....and she's going to spend another boatload (of debt, not cash) on TWO doctorate degrees?  (Some university admissions jackass should be in prison for this one, by the way.)

So.  How far along is the City of Milwaukee on the path of Baltimore or Detroit?

This stellar personnel choice happened to replace my daughter. My daughter is a high achieving, dedicated, color-blind, gender blind public servant who I wish had been my own boss. She is a human and not a politician. She's left a trail of good works since college. Oh yeah, she is working on her second master's, HASN'T shot anyone in the head, changed her legal name, left a trail of bankruptcies, spent 6 years in prison, and treats all folks equally despite their weaknesses. ANY organization wishing to improve their lot would be lucky to have such a person on their roles. I'm sorry to say, but Milwaukee will suffer at her loss.

This city is nuts, the mayor, the county supervisor, everyone. They want to get rid of 60 more police officers for the damn trolley. North side is such a hell hole the cops won’t even go there.
