E-SPECIFIC/E-SPECIFY has arrived. Where is Broadband for Milwaukee?
September 23, 2021
Howdy Everybody!
MILWAUKEE || Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC/MPA-LLC is doing its part to help connect the citizenry of Milwaukee with its notifications for participation and accountability for public policy. We insist on documented "pre-clearance" by the public to help erase institutional racism and discrimination - overall disenfranchisement.
Zoom presentations, e-Notify, resolutions, guidelines, public meetings, standing committees, and council monthly meetings are held via the framework of the "internet" daily but NOTHING is being created for infrastructural connectivity through the internet for residential and commercial stakeholders.
This behavior by those we elected is a breach of the Oath of Office for public safety and protection. It "stiffs" the core constituents.
We see our tax dollars - taxation without representation - being spent in the high millions for software, hardware, and training for those we have working in government employment. However, NOTHING is in the priority column for the People - those who pay the tab.
It must change NOW. MPA-LLC starts with pushing for fast-speed IT/Internet Technology in our neighborhoods - 15 districts.
========================
The American Rescue Plan Act brings millions/billions to each county of America. It comes with transformative strategic planning and implementation in BROADBAND.
According to the Brookings Institution, the ARPA provides the "down payment" for the INFRASTRUCTURE network of the internet for the city of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee County, and the state of Wisconsin - this is effective with all four (4) working together for state impact using the ARPA funding. This way, we can cover in a sustainable model.
"We seek the ARPA funding being sent to individuals and organizations that have NOT been 'pre-cleared' by the People. The same old status quo of cronyism for funding for Caucasian-based power-grabbers MUST GO. Let's stand tall with this one-time funding that is large enough to make the down payment and implement for the 21st Millenium demands, said Mary Glass, Chief Visionary Officer.

| Democratic congressional leaders said they will try to pass a bill that prevents a government shutdown and suspends the U.S. debt limit through the end of 2022. They're trying to simultaneously dodge two possible crises. Congress faces a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the federal government. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has told lawmakers the U.S. will likely not be able to pay its bills sometime in October. (CNBC) | |
| President Joe Biden, in his first address to the U.N. General Assembly as U.S. chief executive, plans to call on allies to cooperate on challenges including Covid and climate change. The speech is scheduled for midmorning Tuesday. Eight months into his presidency, Biden has been out of sync with allies on the a number of issues including sharing coronavirus vaccines. (AP) | |
| Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is among stocks on the move in Tuesday's premarket trading. Shares of J&J rose about 1% after the company said a booster shot of its Covid vaccine is 94% effective in the U.S. when administered two months after the first dose. Six months out from the first shot, a J&J booster appears to be potentially even more protective. Some 14.8 million people in America have received the company's single-dose vaccine. (CNBC) * Covid is deadliest U.S. pandemic: Fatalities surpass 1918 flu estimates (CNBC) | |
| Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google said it's buying a New York City office building for $2.1 billion, one of the clearest signals yet of Big Tech's growing appetite for office space even as these firms embrace remote work. It's the most expensive sale of a single U.S. office building since the start of Covid, and one of the priciest ever in America, according to data company Real Capital Analytics. (WSJ) | |
| Shares of Uber (UBER) rose 5% after the ride-hailing and food delivery company revised higher its outlook for its third quarter. Uber said it now expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to range from a loss of $25 million to a profit of $25 million. Uber previously said it expected adjusted EBITDA for Q3 to be better than a loss of $100 million. | |
| Revolut, a global fintech player valued at $33 billion, will soon offer commission-free stock trading to U.S. customers for the first time, CNBC has learned. The start-up is set to announce Tuesday that it secured a U.S. broker-dealer license, enabling it to compete with the likes of Robinhood (HOOD) and Square (SQ). (CNBC) | |
| Universal Music Group surged about 30% in its stock market debut Tuesday, in Europe's largest listing of the year so far. The company behind platinum-selling artists including Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, which listed on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange, has valuation of more than $52.8 billion. (CNBC) | |
| Ford (F) unveiled a new off-road Timberline model as part of its updates to the 2022 Expedition SUV. The new model features a freshened exterior design, increased ground clearance and other off-road features such as upgraded tires and a heavy-duty skid plate to protect the undercarriage of the vehicle.

MPA-LLC SATURDAY TALK is BACK - WELCOME WAGON and all. September 18, 2021
SEPTEMBER 18, 2021
HOWDY, EVERYBODY!
MARY GLASS here. As part of my 76th Birthday (9-22-21) celebration, I am bringing back MPA-LLC SATURDAY TALK - an action-oriented gathering of chat-discussion-debate of stakeholders of the city of Milwaukee 98.6 square miles to upgrade the deplorable status quo led by charter officers of the city of Milwaukee - elected, appointed-hired-donor for hire government representatives.
We MUST address the out-of-control behavior of outliers, power-grabbers, BIDS, NIDS, and criminal-acting stakeholders who have forgotten their MANNERS, MISSION, MORALS, and MANAGEMENT.
=====================
Throughout today, my office will share different things for you to be introduced to, remember, and think about for changes.

Voices of Milwaukee Bronzeville
by
Some people don't have to imagine what Milwaukee's Bronzeville was like. They have only to remember. They recall Walnut Street alive with businesses serving a hardworking Black population making something out of the meager resources available to them. They describe religious establishments such as St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal, St. Benedict the Moor, Calvary Baptist and St. Matthew CME attending to the spiritual life and remember the Flame, the Metropole and Satin Doll nightclubs taking care of entertainment and secular needs. Above all, they recollect a people looking out for the well-being of all within its realm. Gathering interviews with residents of the now-vanished neighborhood, Dr. Sandra E. Jones reimagines Bronzeville not just as a place, but as a spirit engendered by a people determined to make a way out of no way. (less)
Thanks

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS in Milwaukee are not what they should be.
======================================================================
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021
The 15 Districts of the city of Milwaukee have been able to create some very lucrative and DISCRIMINATING business improvement districts.
Two (2) BID Districts are the source of our research and audit over the next year. They are BID 21 and BID 51.
The majority of the districts have excluded African Americans in the planning and implementation. Cronyism Caucasian groups come together with exploiting with the Department of City Development, the Department of Public Works, and the Department of Neighborhood Services.
Kenneth Little was hired and the BID and NID skyrocketed in development in an orchestrated effort. This was seen as an ATM for TIDs - Tax increment districts and income forming neighborhoods within the BID or TID.
The first NID - Neighborhood Improvement District set the mold for what to include and what not to include - people living in and out of the city of Milwaukee. DCD and DPW were present to create the way with the various decisions to repurpose the Blatz development and the Zilber real estate/foundation.
Rocky Marcoux, DCD Commissioner and Martha Brown, Deputy Commissioner controlled the assets of the city with the power brokers of the real estate industry, construction companies, and banks. Many of the banks marched in/out with privileged mandates coupled with monopoly-oligopoly companies - Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce, Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation, Milwaukee 7, Greater Milwaukee Committee, along with state-driven organizations that exploited neighborhoods of People of Color.
WHEDA/WI Housing and Economic Development Authority was a convenient source after/during the breakup of the Department of Commerce. DCD, Small Business Administration, and other local neighborhood organizations were given the liberty to provide a small and disjointed amount of funding for various neighborhoods.
The sparse growth has led to manipulating various assets unique to a densely populated city with densely populated stakeholders with low/no income and quality of life issues of enduring concentrated poverty.
One of the largest assets was from "tax credits" of various kinds, brownfield, government-mandated housing and property tax credits, and EB Visa, for starters.
===================
NID
There are NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS/NID.
They are:
1 - BREWERY
3 - WASHINGTON PARK
4 - SHERMAN PARK
5 - HERITAGE HEIGHTS
6 - HISTORIC GARDEN HOMES
7 - HARAMBEE
9 - HAVENWOOD
10 - RIVERVIEW
11 - RIVER RIDGE
