Budget Season: Make Your Voice Heard

It’s no secret that we’re facing a difficult budget in South Milwaukee this year, and cuts are inevitable as department heads and city leaders struggle to fill a more than $400,000 hole caused by reduced state shared revenue, declining investment income and other factors.

The proposed 2010 executive budget is now available for review, and you can check it out on the city website here.

Want to learn more about it? You have several opportunities to do so.

  • The Finance Committee will review the budget at a meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, October 21.
  • The City Council will hold a budget public hearing at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 30.
  • The Council will consider adopting the budget at its meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 1.

Let your voice be heard during this crucial time!

Blogging about South Milwaukee’s 4th District

Welcome to the new blog about South Milwaukee’s 4th District.

It’s been a pleasure to serve as your alderman, and this blog helps fulfills a promise I made during the campaign: to improve the way we communicate with our residents. As coverage of South Milwaukee decreases in the traditional media, we need to fill the void with non-traditional ways to keep area residents informed on happenings around their neighborhoods and city. This is one of those of those ways.

I encourage you to check back regularly as I update the blog with news and information from around the 4th District and city of South Milwaukee.
