First District Alderman Mike Karbowski passed away this afternoon after an illness.
This is a tragic loss, and his leadership, community focus and strong voice for South Milwaukee will be missed dearly.
Please keep Mike’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
I will post more on this soon, as well as information on funeral arrangements.
In the meantime, please post your comments below.

Wow, so sorry. That guy was really counter-culture. Won’t see another alderman like him. And he rode a really cool bike.
So sorry to hear this news.
will miss you Mike
