SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
"We are calling FOUL on the offices of Dr. Pat McManus - Black Health Coalition of WI, Rev. Willie Brisco - MICAH, and Dan Boehm - MCTS, for interrupting Route 279 two years in its life of four years per the $13.5 million dollar suit thereby threatening the livelihood of the growing Ridership and violating the guidelines of enforcement of the funds and just outright disregard for the Ridership of the Menominee Falls Industrial Park employees - the most organic and true-blue to the lawsuit."

Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin/BHCW, Milwaukee Inner-city Congregations Allied for Hope and Milwaukee County Transit System have failed in due diligence in the fiduciary responsibility for engagement of the bus transportation of $13.5 million dollars and specifically the $2 million dollars earmarked for boosting ridership, outreach to ridership and tweaking route schedules for ensuring that under- and unemployed African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged citizens from Milwaukee are transported to Menomonee Falls Industrial Park - a hotbed for employment.
