Here are a few odds and ends from around the city …
- Property taxes. Don’t forget that the first installment of your property taxes are due Thursday. You can view and print a copy of your tax bill, and check payment status, by clicking here.
- Fire captain. With the hiring of Joe Knitter as South Milwaukee’s permanent fire chief, the city has now posted its vacant fire captain position. Joe had held that job (as one of three captains) until he was named interim chief last year. I’m glad we’re filling it. It’s an important role. See the job advertisement here.
- Summer jobs for college students. Know a college student in need of summer employment? Are you one yourself? If so, visit City Hall, or call Jenny Maciejewski for more information at 414-768-8051. Applicants must be South Milwaukee residents.
- Chamber dinner. The South Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce has set the date for its Spring Social and awards banquet. It’s Friday, April 19 at Salvatore’s in South Milwaukee. Learn more about this terrific annual event here.
With that, I’m going to take a few days off from blogging, barring significant breaking news from South Milwaukee. I ask that you keep my grandmother in your prayers. She’s 96 and nearing the end of her long, rich life. A wonderful woman — she’ll be missed.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. It’s always hard to see and know people in that condition. Just know that there are many people who are here to support you and your family!
