October 22, 2021 - American Rescue Plan Act, WHOA - We the People Have Oversight Authority
- $394 Million - Milwaukee's total grant
- WI Department of Revenue - Local Fiscal Recovery Fund
Unfortunately, the legislative body has failed to provide Milwaukeeans (African Americans, other People of Color, and Work Challenged majority) within the 98.6 square miles of the city of Milwaukee - 15 Districts - a clear opportunity to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime INFRASTRUCTURE enhancement with specifics for quality of life and economic development to make TRANSFORMATIVE changes.
The ARPA is a Pandemic focused grant resource to provide urgent and targeted funding to defeat the COVID 19/DELTA viruses and provide workers and families the resources they need to survive the pandemic while the vaccine is distributed to every American. It is a water and Internet downpayment for long-awaited installations for communication and repair of aged pipes.
===================
"The public at large did not have knowledge of this opportunity nor did any alderperson to whom I am personally attached on facebook. As I peruse our enotify, we did not receive proper notice regarding this. This lapse of information has dismissed the public at large's opportunity to participate in its civic duty and further the divide that all of these measures, funds, and organizations are working hard to close.
It is with this in mind that as a citizen, the process of solidifying any decision regarding allocations and funding are presented through the news all day long and the opportunity for citizens and taxpayers, homeowners and entrepreneurs, grassroots organizations, churches, and the like have had a chance to review the plan and provide input. This information must run all day on the milwaukee.gov channels and every news channel and every hours the same as the crimes, reckless driving, and other issues. In this manner, the print, radio, tv, and internet have all revealed. In addition, adequate time for the groups to engage and address them must be allotted . . ." 5 Point|5pna
THE PEOPLE/MILWAUKEEANS
We are very thankful to 5 Point| 5pna for their salient points in an Inquiry sent by Mary Glass, Chief Visionary Officer, MPA-LLC to City Clerk Jim Owczarski, regarding the American Rescue Plan, Decorum of the Chair and Vice-Chair - Finance and Personnel Committee, Parliamentarian/ Sergeant at arms protocol for the city of Milwaukee.
Our leadership efforts are to ensure that our stakeholders are AWARE of state-of-the-art developments for Milwaukee's 1st Portion/Tranche of $197,113,324.50 - File # 210268. CLICK
Choose Legislation Details (With Text)
Milwaukeeans are in need of AWARENESS for decision-making. The People lack:
1. TIME for deliberation.
2. DELIVERY of information.
3. ACCESS to information that is correct, continuous, and allows feedback with Q&A.
4. MEDIA all day from Milwaukee.gov, local television, newspapers, digital media, tweet networks, U.S. Postal mail, Zoom, outdoor advertising, and virtual forums over 2 weeks.
========================
We call for INTEGRITY from each elected charter officers in Milwaukee to represent our city.
- If you don't know, now you know.
- E-Specific.
- Trust is Everything.
We have been informed that the U.S. Treasury commitment consists of "sanction" tools for those failing to use the AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUND as intended.

| China's third-quarter gross domestic product grew a disappointing 4.9% from a year ago as industrial activity in the world's second-largest economy rose less than expected in September.

| A substantial portion of investors expect the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank to keep monetary policy slightly too loose for too long, according to Deutsche Bank.

TONY EVERS, GOVERNOR, SHARES $45 MILLION FOR VIOLENCE PREVENTION
=============================
ALERT. LISTEN UP.
PAY ATTENTION.
LOOK AT WHO IS AGAIN GETTING FUNDING.
What is the "strategic plan"?
Where is the money going? WHEN? WHERE? FOR WHAT?
LISTEN TO WHAT IS BEING SAID BY THE JOURNALIST, Brendan Cullerton, Channel 58, FOR ALLOCATIONS. THEY ARE:
ARNITTA HOLLIMAN - $8 MILLION, OFFICE OF VIOLENCE PREVENTION
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WI - $10.4 MILLION
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WI - $20 MILLION
This is a NEW position for ARNITTA HOLLIMAN.
ARNITTA HOLLIMAN works out of Milwaukee Health Department with KIRSTIN JOHNSON, Commissioner of Health.
Kirstin Johnson, Milwaukee Health Department, is NEW and has had a dismal record of providing COVID/DELTA PANDEMIC CARE for Milwaukee. Tom Barrett, the mayor has in vain made it a point to COVER for Commissioner Johnson and his office for Pandemic Compliance. Does he plan to take a stab at the Office of Violence with Arnitta Holiman?
- MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WI - $10.4 MILLION VIOLENCE
- MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WI - $20 MILLION VICTIM SERVICES
The medical doors of Medical College of WI are MISSING IN ACTION for the appearance and employment of African Americans they have partnered with for ongoing training and vaccination "within" the 15 districts.
The LIVE BROADCAST COVID BRIEFINGS of Dr. Ben Weston, Chief Health Policy Advisor, MCW, is seen on Milwaukee County Press. He is lacking in regularity Equity Inclusion DATA - zip codes and hot spots - for African Americans, other People of Color, and Work Challenged Milwaukeeans. His briefings would be more IMPACTFUL with a Core Constituent planning group representing the 15 Districts of Milwaukee.
A case study from Day 1 is requested to share COVID and DELTA contacts, mitigation, hospitalization, long-term care, AND DEATHS.
Where are the documentation glossaries, case studies, testimonies, surveys, maps, videos, and compiled briefs with Milwaukeeans of Color?
Where are the COVID/DELTA CERTIFICATED individuals from the city neighborhoods of Milwaukee that have been trained?
Where are the training collaboratives, VOLUMES/BULK POPULATIONS, with MCW, MATC, and MPS? We must have a holistic approach to VIOLENCE.
Where are the partnerships in the critical neighborhoods with MCW - not cronies like Milwaukee Foundation and United Way but the People - parents, business owners, ministers, community advocates, markets, groceries, pantries, civic groups, young adult groups, rec, and wraparound sites? This is money being invested on behalf of us, the Core Constituents.
We need to see practitioners in positions of leadership, so where is the VIOLENCE funding from Evers, CARES, and the American Rescue Plan Act funds going?
==================
Gov Evers's announcement was held on Burleigh at COA-Children's Outing Association. Why? Give relevance. Make it relevant with a plan already in mind. Evers had the opportunity to show he had done his homework by calling out Carter Drug store, Hayat Plaza - DNAcare lab, block clubs, business improvement districts, neighborhood improvement districts, neighborhood strategic planning groups, and other notables in the neighborhood already at the table by Evers administration and health care decision-makers and planners.
Our OPEN WOUND (JSOnline Milwaukee Homicides) of violence is seen throughout the neighborhoods and with various age groups - infants in the womb are included.
FUNDING VITAL
We know that funding is needed to identify, track, and abate the impact of violence.
We should know that the pandemic, other long-term toils of our social environment, and DNA components affect each one of us differently.
What we must be sure of is that the funds are NOT being spent for cronies' PET PROJECTS that have NO root causation, NO daily oversight tied to awareness, and NO commitment of the citizenry.
Funding MUST BE LOOPED and braided through our various pots of funds with outcomes that call for PROOF of SPENDING.
TOO MUCH MONEY IS BEING GIVEN TO THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WI with ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY.
ACCOUNTABILITY
WE MUST HAVE DATA FACTS PRESENTED WEEKLY, MONTHLY, BI-MONTHLY, AND ANNUALLY TO SHOW SCIENTIFIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RESULTS - CASE-BY-CASE.
THIS INCLUDES RESEARCHERS AND SCIENTISTS THAT DEAL WITH THE MIND, STRESS, TRAUMA, DRUGS, AND ALCOHOL. EXTRA SPECIAL FOCUS ON EACH DEATH/MURDER - INVESTIGATIONS WITH THOSE WHO KILL (this includes law enforcers) - FOR REASONS/MOTIVES FOR DELIBERATIONS - MEDICAL EXAMINERS FOR AFTERLIFE RESEARCH MOTIVATIONS.
