Milwaukeeans will pay over half-million-dollars on Morales lawsuit


                                                              ALPHONSO MORALES

 7-14-21


MILWAUKEE || EX-CHIEF OF POLICE  || READ UP.  READ UP.

$626K SETTLEMENT

The proposed final deal for the settlement of ex-chief of Police Alphonso Morales is on the table for final approval of the full common council on July 27, 2021.

IF THERE IS NO APPROVAL - Alphonso Morales is reinstated as the Chief of Police of the city of Milwaukee on August 1, 2021. 

The money total proposed is $500,000 for Morales and $126,000 for his attorney.

It sounds like the funds to pay for the settlement payment have not been thoroughly decided.  The funds usually come from a contingency fund.

NOTE


Cade Law Firm was hired by the city of Milwaukee to handle the conflict of interest details of the city attorney's office.

Tom Barrett, Mayor and Ashanti Hamilton, Alderman District 1 and Chair - The Judiciary and Legislation Committee are familiar with the case.  They both have law degrees.

READ THE POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE FOR INSIGHT INTO THE CASE.

For more info, ask Tom Barrett, Mayor @ 414.286.2200

Ashanti Hamilton, Alderman District 1 @ 414.286.2221.

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

The Fire and Police Commission has work to do to settle the dust in and around the reputation and decision-making of its group.  Given the NEW composition, the election of the chair and vice-chair are in order.

The stench of conflict with members, police department, NEW city attorney, carry-over city attorney staff, human relations office, mayor's office, common council, etc. weigh heavily in this over half-million-dollar lawsuit settlement.

The leadership of the Fire and Police Commission, which includes Leon Todd III, Executive Director, must provide a NEW slate with clear and accurate details of their worthiness for the stakeholders.  Working with the office of City Attorney Tearmon Spencer is mandatory.

It would help if the Core Constituents were informed about the intersectionality of the hiring of Cade Law firm for the Morales lawsuit.
