I've been eyeing the near South Side of Milwaukee along Mitchell Street for years... If that area ever gentrified, it would be really awesome. But for now, it's a low-income Latino neighborhood with serious gang/crime trouble.
I think the problems Drover talked about in Milwaukee were crime and socio-economic problems. Milwaukee doesn't have the economy that Chicago has, and the ghetto is just rotting in isolation without any hope for the future. |

I don't know anymore... Have you been following that Kwame Kilpatrick stuff lately (mayor of Detroit)? It's actually pretty shocking--even to a Chicagoan. |

I love Milwaukee. It does seem like the public transportation sucks.I have never taken it, but I can count on one hand how many buses I have seen there in all the times I have been there! The movement must start now! |

I promised the list of the commissioners who voted for the tax increase here it is (sorry it took so long-I forgot about posting the names for a bit):
Remember these names when it comes time to vote. Unless you all feel very happy about being sheep and getting your wallet stolen.... They ALL need to go.
All of these people voted YES for the tax increase and more waste in the county...I urge you to vote against these people if you live in their district.
T. Stroger (D-Chicago) President
E. Collins (D-Chicago) 1st District
R. Steele (D-Chicago) 2nd District
J. Butler (D-Chicago) 3rd District
W. Beavers (D-Chicago) 4th District
D. Sims (D-Chicago) 5th District
J. Murphy (D-Crestwood) 6th District
J. Moreno (D-Cicero) 7th District
R. Maldonado (D-Chicago) 8th District
J. Daley (D-Chicago) 11th District
L. Suffredin (D-Evanston) 13th District
