Initial Concerns
We are concerned that there are no African Americans in the line-up; and, have requested information as to the possible reason (s).

Interim Michael Lovell has received extremely low marks due to his "unresponsiveness" to MPA inquiries about human relations - correction/concern with library policy and staff, lack of shown school concern for a member of the staff that died; and, lack of professionalism in returning email inquiries and telephone calls. His lack of response curtail any interaction for questions, recommendations and desire to discuss concerns of the participation of UW-Milwaukee as a partner to stakeholders at the neighborhood-level.

He has found the time to be interactive with the Milwaukee 7.

There is also the concern of his seat on the Milwaukee 7 and believed endorsement of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce. Especially since Past Chancellor Carlos Santiago was a champion of theirs and he proved to be a total disappointment - NO RESPONSE. No follow-up of neighborhood concerns.

Not a Good Neighbor
The MMAC and Milwaukee 7 have continued to not act in the best interest of the stakeholders of Milwaukee - divisiveness on MPS School Board, Sick Day law, MPS Takeover, busting up "collective bargaining", pitting Choice/Charter against public education, Milwaukee 7 support organization and outsourcing, well-connected corporate types - real estate barons and well-known philanthropic bidders outsourced resources of City of Milwaukee stakeholders in conjunction with Tom Barrett, Mayor of Milwaukee.

We also see a lack of "initial" broadness of business administration - technology - interaction with African American, People of Color and Work-Challenged population of the candidates.
