Hello from the Milwaukee County Capital Improvements Committee meeting. https://t.co/iR2EHmBcBX

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Third motion to call the question! That's a record in my time on the Board. I don't recall it ever being used before. (Maybe I did once?) Motion failed. Debate over possible I-94 expansion continues.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

This will be the first new feature at Wilson Park within the past eleven years, and probably longer.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Thank you to the @MKECountyBoard for approving the Historic Highway 41 Gardens at Wilson Park!

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Now on the Committee on Health Equity, Human Needs & Strategic Planning. A few items were called out for separate action.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

@sup_dist12 The motion to call the question, which ends debate and proceeds straight to a vote, was invoked for the second time today. There was no objection to the motion, so we proceeded straight to the vote. The $1M expenditure was approved.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

We are in heavy debate over parliamentary procedure. Now looking at a 2/3 vote on ending debate. The motion failed.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Now discussing repairing the historic Lake Park bridge, which got into dangerous state of disrepair. Money was raised for repair, incl. $300K from the neighbors. Pandemic drove repair costs way up. Humble request for the cash coming from 3rd dist. Sup.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

I voted against the motion.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

County Board Chairwoman Marcelia Nicholson @Marci4MKE has "passed the gavel" to the first vice chair, which makes Sup. Taylor the interim chairperson, so that Chw. Nicholson may speak on the item we are considering.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

On to On to Finance Committee. Items 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 have all been called out for separate action. Here we go...

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

17-1, the motion passes.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

A role call has been requested on item 3, "From the Milwaukee County Clerk, Office of the County Clerk, providing an informational report regarding Files Referred to Standing Committees." Odd.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Now on Item 1 at last. It'll go faster after this for the next nine items or so.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Two years ago tomorrow, Milwaukee County declared racism to be a public health crisis and committed itself to achieving racial equity. It's been great to see other cities and counties follow our precedent and join us in bending history toward the better. https://t.co/eoD118fCK1

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

Now hearing about the new @mkecounty seal. You probably know the 56-year-old county seal with the yellow "M"s surrounding the large black "M" representing the manufacturing plants in the county, and all kinds of embedded symbolism.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

This is my background on our video call.

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]

We are now hearing presentations from @MKECountyBoard Supervisors on the subject "Stop Asian American Pacific Islander (#AAPI) Hate"

[Sup. Jason Haas @TheFighting14th]
