The City of Milwaukee, which has been run into the ground by the doddering Tom Barrett, is about to screw the rest of the State's population.
The City of Milwaukee is facing some serious decisions as a fiscal cliff looms with its employee pension obligations. Those yearly payments are set to more than double in 2023 -- and layoffs of hundreds of city employees are on the table.
Milwaukee employs around 7,700 people -- from police and fire to general employees. But city budget officials project more than 1,300 might have to be laid off over five years starting in 2023 if help does not come soon from Madison lawmakers.
"I don’t have my head in the sand here – my hope is that we will have a response and a partnership with the state before then, but this is the time to do that," said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett....
"Partnership," like the "partnership" Henry Maier got: screw the suburbs into paying for Milwaukee's poop-problem.
One thing never changed, anyway. It's Milwaukee's poop again, this time due to Barrett's all-political refusal to do the right thing about pensions 18 years ago and ever since.
