is your interpretation of real, identifiable poverty? What is your
interpretation of police chief's Flynn's claim that "crime leads to
poverty." Or do you believe that poverty leads to crime?

City of Milwaukee has the worse black business leadership in the country. What
can be done that has not been done before to assist in creating better black
business leaders and more economic growth within the Inner city?
3. Do
you feel that there is sufficient coordination between different levels of
government in dealing with the Inner City and its problems? If not why? What do
you suggest might be done?
4. Do
you support the recent NAACP complaint to the Department of Justice against the
city of Milwaukee ? Why?

you think there ought be more coordination within different levels of government
as per city, county and state? Why?

does the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) do? Are
you familiar with the Environmental Justice Task Force?

you comment on why new housing has been constructed in already heavily
segregated areas in the central city?

vacant areas have not been selected for new low-income housing after they have
been cleaned up?

you say about city government taking over the schools when itself is troubled by
joblessness, high taxes, hundreds of abandoned dwelling, thousands of potholes
and an apparent inability to take care of itself?
