July 24, 2015
Kent Wainscott's report on efforts of outreach for to influence of the elected representatives spoke of the Save the Bucks effort where he spoke with Paul Henning - Save the Bucks and Mary Glass - Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC.
“We've been asking them to make a lot of phone calls and to tell their family and friends, and there is a little bit of burnout, so we're trying to keep the iron hot right now,” Henning said.
The lobbying efforts, on both sides will kick into high gear on Monday, 24 hours before the Assembly is scheduled to debate and vote on the arena deal.
“You don't have to be so gung ho. Take your time. You're going to ask the people to pay for 30 years. You mean to tell you can't take a month or so to really do due diligence?” Glass said.
The rallying of MPA LLC is at SATURDAY TALK, East Library, 2340 N. Cramer, 10:30am - 12:30am; and, a Press Conference at: 1:00pm CT at the corner of North Avenue and Cramer, outside of East Library.
