• Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

============

Topic:   FOLLOW THE MONEY – NBA BUCKS DEAL

We will engage in a discussion that is specific to the taxpayers, 30-year commitment, leveraging benefits that are going untouched, opportunities going untouched, specific jewels of the city and county coffers that should be bargaining chips and the “INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE” that is on the table.

Hear our panelists.  Steve Adams will give an update on SEWRPC's recent report on "A comparison of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Area to its Peers", Sherri Bond is the Business Highlight for the Month, James Mason, President Local 998 to give highlights of Strike and NBA Bucks Deal.

We have three (3) 2016 Candidates present to weigh in on the NBA Bucks Deal.

Mary Glass will give an overview of the position of the taxpayers and information about the Press Conference that follows this month's SATURDAY TALK.

Information from the audience is vital to what should be done the upcoming week or so with our elected officials – local, county, state and federal - to ensure that they are lobbying on behalf of the taxpayers of the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County.  That they are vetted with the sound bites of economic development that will empower the LEAST OF US – Those trapped in Enduring Concentrated Poverty.
