Jursik To Chair Economic Development Committee … And Other Milwaukee County Updates

Milwaukee County Supervisor Patricia Jursik has been named chairwoman of the county’s Committee on Economic and Community Development.

Jursik addresses the new post in her most recent Enewsletter. From the item:

This area has been a priority of mine. I am eager to help grow our area economy and tackle issues like the new MKE Regional Business Park at the Airport, Downtown lakefront redevelopment, the former Park East Corridor and the County Grounds including Innovation Park.

Jursik will also continue on the Finance & Audit; Personnel; and Transportation, Public Works & Transit Committees.

As you’ll recall, Jursik lost in her bid to become board chairperson to Bay View Supervisor Marina Dimtrijevic — a vote that Jursik clarifies in this press release. While that loss stung, Jursik’s roster of committee memberships is impressive … and a strong sign that South Milwaukee’s interests will be well-represented on the County Board.

We’re lucky to have Pat standing up for the South Shore.

Dimitrijevic Chosen As County Board Chairman Over Jursik, Others

It took 24 rounds of voting, but Patricia Jursik’s bid to become the next Milwaukee County Board chairperson fell short on Monday.

But the chairmanship will stay in the South Shore, with 30-year-old Bay View Supervisor Marina Dimitrijevic winning the post.

Check out the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story here. From it:

She replaces outgoing board Chairman Lee Holloway, who retired after 20 years on the board.

She was locked in a three-way tie during earlier rounds of balloting, in which Dimitrijevic, Supervisor Theo Lipscomb Sr. and Supervisor Patricia Jursik each had five votes. The deadlock broke after Supervisor Willie Johnson Jr. ended his bid for chairman and switched his support for Dimitrijevic.
