Happy Days Gone: MKE Faces BK

 The City of Milwaukee is putting on a not-really-fantasy dog-and-pony show, requiring the Fire Department, Cop Shop, and Library System to put out budgets with 10%-20% reductions in spending.

The Good Old Days of handing city unions anything they wanted in pensions and health benefits--which began under Henry Maier and got worse every year since--are gone, baby, gone.  The Police Union's deals were horrible for taxpayers, but AFSCME wasn't far behind. 

The City's most prominent Communist, Marina Dimitrijevic, blames the State's taxpayers for this.

Of course.
