The City of Milwaukee has over a half-million people.
It is the iconic urban city of Wisconsin - largest city. It garners $$MILLIONS each year based on its population.

It has "hidden talent" that is by-design left out of INNOVATION and state of the art technology employment and neighborhood-level entrepreneurship.

It has been named time-and-time again for its disparities, yet it gets $$MILLIONS annually that are placed in pet projects, outsourced to neighboring suburbs-contractors, and to payback well-connected groups formed by and led by Caucasians.

The population of Milwaukee is majority African American, Latino, American Indian and Asian.

Milwaukee Professionals Association observation from 2005-2010 revealed a pattern of behavior of outsourcing of wealth by those elected-appointed-hired-volunteered and Donor-for-hire.
