Four key South Milwaukee City Council committees got new leadership last week, the start of a new “political” year.
The new committee chairpersons are:
- Finance: Ald. Joe Bukowski (replacing Pat Stoner)
- Legislation & Permits: Ald. Craig Maass (replacing Lisa Pieper)
- Public Works & Public Property: Ald. Frank Van Dusen III (replacing me)
- Human Resources: Ald. Ray Navarro (replacing David Bartoshevich)
It is customary (but not always the case) that the vice chairmperson alternate with the chairperson of each committee following each spring election. So I am now the vice chairman of the Public Works and Public Property Committee.
Good luck to all of our new committee chairs!

My sympathies! 🙂
