In addition to the introduction of the 4-Month Atonement & Reparation; awareness building that includes capacity-building, access and literacy with the internet, and paradigm shifting are key benchmarks to obtain. We must incorporate principle-centered leadership for TRUST.
Background
A snapshot of the 19-plus years of the 4-Phase North Avenue Commerce Center fiasco of how the city of Milwaukee officers failed miserably to conduct oversight and due process to African American and other stakeholders that amount to discrimination, exploitation, bait-n-switch and disenfranchisement.
Ex-mayor John Norquist and mayor Tom Barrett, along with the common council members over the 20 years disregarded oath of office, charter-statute-regulation responsibilities; and failed to honor 14th Amendment and other rights and privileges due the citizens of the designed area of the 4-phase North Avenue Commerce Center project.
Their failure to conduct due diligence is of a compounding nature due to the start-up conditions caused by the devastation of the Park West Freeway, high unemployment and quality of life disparities, and promises made to the People.
The city of Milwaukee shared extensively from the city coffers (backed by federal resources) and included massive funding, rezoning, non-compliance of project plan signed by City Plan Commission of the City of Milwaukee November 15, 1993, state statute 66.46 for TID/Tax Incremental District 21 - Central City Industrial Jobs Bank, disregard for oversight and accountability of resources allowed for the 4 phases. The primary developers of issue:
- Boldt Construction
- Irgens Partners
- Sisters of Assisi St. Ann Center
Mayor Barrett, ex-Alderman and Common Council President Willie Hines failed to engage Amanians and contiguous stakeholders/taxpayers. They failed to provide the people with the assurance of a "real vetting process" of Sisters of Assisi St. Ann Center that called for specifics to address high un- and under-employment of the area, business partnerships, conformity of an urban design architecture, and lack of due diligence presented by the City Attorney's office for annual city services and a token $300 per year for the questionable BID/Business Invest District #32. Sisters of Assisi St. Ann Center has its corporate office in St. Francis, Wisconsin and Irgens is located in Chicago, Phoenix and Wauwatosa, WI.
All Hands on Deck
All Hands on Deck, WE CAN Initiative is Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC District-2-District engagement after 5 years (2005-2010) Smart Growth (a national initiative created by 2010) empirical research of elected-appointed-hired-donor for hire representatives of government and power grabbers. Organizations - public and private - doing business with the city of Milwaukee on behalf of the people using federal, state and local government funding with double and triple standards depending on race, income revenue, class and side of town residence.
All Hands on Deck, WE CAN Initiative is to engage City of Milwaukee stakeholders-taxpayers in "Action" participation of leadership and Stewardship. To engage best practices, transparency and principle centered leadership - paradigm shifting - impacting the way we think.
Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC chose the paradigm that broke with "we can not", to "WE CAN". We can overcome the failing structure by "inserting" an infrastructure that is of LIKE-MINDS engaged in competitive advantages through discovering and supporting hidden talent at the census tract and neighborhood level. Identifying vetted businesses and hidden talent with re-defining, re-branding and UN-TRAPPING Milwaukeeans, especially African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged.
