.@AldermanDonovan brings up two excellent points. 1) The nonprofit nature of hospitals and 2) the financial soundness of the Ascension Healthcare system overall. https://t.co/4xOPFXPgwE
Outrageous, @MayorOfMKE! It’s imperative for health officials to move quickly yet there’s been no public statements since you were briefed on this health crisis in December! What is your excuse for inaction? Will there be tough questions for Barrett from local media? DOUBTFUL!!!! https://t.co/4DzcYN8mqF
“There has been no announcement to the general public from the Milwaukee Health Department as of Tuesday” https://t.co/JsYIiKlEwa via @jecausey@MSpicuzzaMJS
14 years running Milwaukee and we’re supposed to believe @MayorOfMKE shouldn’t be held partly responsible? After all, in Barrett’s eyes if it (prostitution/crime) doesn’t happen downtown it doesn’t happen at all. https://t.co/mKWfI8Fsec
@ZVornholt@PGuarasci @MayorOfMKE Well, my priorities certainly don’t include pumping more lead into the kids—but you Barrett apologists just keep trying to change the subject!
@TheoKeith@GovWalker Someone should remind @MayorOfMKE and the local media that Barrett was against this proposal when I brought it up during the 2016 mayoral campaign—I was attacked by Barrett for my proposal, the exact proposal he now wants all of us to get behind.
@TheoKeith Losing to him in 2016 doesn’t change the fact @MayorOfMKE should absolutely apologize to the families and children effected by his Health Department’s mismanagement of the City’s lead abatement program.
BARRETT WILL NOT APOLOGIZE. Good for you, @MayorOfMKE—your sloppy administration merely endangered the health of tens of thousands of Milwaukee children. That’s not such a big deal, right? https://t.co/dV5kG7kUs2
NEWS: During his State of the City speech, #Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett will not apologize for problems in the city's lead program. Instead, he will credit his administration for taking "decisive action to address deficiencies."
Another article from the @journalsentinel and @MSpicuzzaMJS about Tom Barrett and development w/o a single mention of City of MKE’s $450 million a yr debt service @JayWeber3 https://t.co/V5Qp73rd1n
@TheoKeith@fox6now @MayorOfMKE Listening to your live feed, I also heard an all-out assault on many of the brave heroes in Milwaukee’s police and fire departments.
To me, this is the most striking thing to come out of the BMA trial (https://t.co/FyV8Q1UYeI). Cops have said the MPD pursuit policy meant more suspects with guns in cars bc they aren’t afraid of being chased (and I’ve quoted cops saying that). Here, a suspect admits it:
@bjlutz@WISN12News @MayorOfMKE And what—exactly—was termed “scandal” by this introduction in a lone 5pm broadcast? Is there an actual news story that used “scandal” in relation to the City’s lead crisis and is there a link available?
Funny how @WISN12News uses the word “scandal” to describe this little squabble while choosing not to use it to describe the mess, mismanagement, deepening dysfunction and danger inside @MayorOfMKE’s Health Department. https://t.co/5quGucVQpp
Candidates asked about qualities they have to be interim chief. Capt. Morales stresses he is from here, an MPD grad, he and his wife built a house in city and thinks of crimes as affecting real people: “We cannot view that as a statistic”
This from a guy who had 99.3% of cops vote NO CONFIDENCE in their chief. Sorry, Ed, but you yourself destabilized MPD years ago. https://t.co/dQ2QGrV1Dh
MPD Chief Flynn criticizes the FPC's process of choosing his temporary replacement, saying it has "destabilized" the department: https://t.co/4VaiQeuRww
