Where's the Money Tom Barrett and Common Council?

2021 INTRODUCTION

40 Years After Kerner (1967-2008)

The City of Milwaukee has received approximately $319 Million over the last four years (2004-2008) in state and federal funds.

People of Color make up the majority population (58.8% - 2000 census) of Milwaukee. People of Color and the Working Poor bring to the city coffers the bulk of federal dollars; and, sizable residential and commercial property taxes. From time to time, they are mandated to pay “special taxes”. Yet, they are the brunt of chronic poor ratings in studies, lack of quality of life issues; and, economic development opportunities. They are not valued in “decision making”, best practices, and quality customer care. In fact, most often are the last to be informed, if at all informed.

There is something inherently discriminatory and wrong here.

Exposé

This is an OPEN LETTER of research by Mary Glass, Chair-CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC/MPA-LLC to Thomas Mark Barrett, Mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 11, 2008 – Over 13 years ago.

It is re-issued on May 17, 2021 – 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic TAX date.

Glass starts with the landmark 1967 Kerner Commission report ordered by the 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson to research RIOTS of 1967 – Milwaukee was one of the cities that rioted.

At the time of the research of Barrett’s administration (2004-2008), the Kerner Report was 40 years old. It is now, 53 years.

Conditions in Milwaukee under the 17-year administration of Tom Barrett have further exhibited racism, discrimination, and "lack of equity inclusion”.

It is a Caucasian dominated MONOPOLY-OLIGOPOLY administration with Barrett (CEO of the city of Milwaukee) partnering with Milwaukee 7, Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce, and Greater Milwaukee Committee commandeering federal-REGIONAL-state-local funding for outliers taken from Milwaukeeans – African Americans, other People of Color, and Work Challenged (Milwaukeeans unemployed, under-employed, lacking tech training, disabled, heads-of-household, and entrepreneurs) core constituents of the 96.8 square miles of the city of Milwaukee.

The Cancer of MONOPOLY-OLIGOPOLY DISCRIMINATION against Milwaukeeans continues - The focus is REGIONAL at this time. NOT.
