South Milwaukee Alderman Tim Backes has graciously volunteered to write regular updates for the blog.
You can see his latest installment here.
In this writing, Tim shares some summer highlights, thoughts on the city’s new mascot, information on major new developments, and more.
Thanks, Tim, for bringing this idea to the blog! I am always looking for content to further our mission of keeping South Milwaukeeans informed on key issues, while also providing important context and depth where possible. It is why I started this blog as an alderman in 2009, and why I continue it today.

Thank you Tim for your updates. I can’t physically get around as much as I used to and I find them very helpful.
