Is a lack of maintenance causing Milwaukee to fall down? « The Daily Reporter


Hundreds of immediate public safety hazards were identified, totaling $5.5 million in repairs. The report suggests a large portion of particularly critical repairs be addressed within a year, but those structures deemed most vulnerable should be county officials’ first priority.

The report blames spending cutbacks and a disorganized building inspection system for the poor conditions of county buildings. But since 2003, Milwaukee County has invested $891.2 in capital projects that address these issues.

While that number seems steep, consider this: More than 62 percent of that money has come from the past two years, according to the report, with nearly half coming from 2010 alone.

“Earlier this year, stone chunks fell off of the Milwaukee County Courthouse,” Holloway said. “We are also dealing with numerous structural problems at the Mental Health Complex. Now, today, we are dealing with a terrible tragedy.”

County Executive Scott Walker said he knew of no report that would suggest the O’Donnell ramp suffered from deferred maintenance. He said it was irresponsible for Holloway to raise the issue. Walker said the focus for now should be on the tragedy.

Yeah, the stimulus was supposed to fix all the infrastructure issues. "Our decaying infrastructure" was one of the "urgent" reasons we needed to pass it NOW! It passed, what happened? Where's all the "shovel ready" jobs promised?

Scam-WOW!

Guess what? They ain't no moe money!

Scott Walker (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Walker became Milwaukee county executive in a special election called in April 2002, after the former county executive, Tom Ament, resigned in the wake of a county pension fund scandal.[15][17] He was elected to a four year term in 2004 gaining 57 percent of the vote to defeat former state budget director, David Riemer.[18][19] He won another four year term in 2008, defeating State Senator Lena Taylor with 59% of the vote.[20]

Walker won the office on a platform of fiscal conservatism, promising, among other things, to give back part of his own salary, and criticizing the salaries of other county workers as excessive.[21] He said his voluntary give-back gave him the moral authority to make cuts in the county budget.[21] He continued returning $60,000 annually (slightly less than half of his salary), for several years, but by 2008, he cut his give-back to $10,000 per year.[21] During his seven years in office, he never submitted a budget with a higher property tax levy than the county board had approved, he cut the number of county employees by 20 percent, and reduced the county's debt by ten percent.[15] However, according to the Associated Press, "overall county spending ... increased 35 percent over his tenure".[15]

And while there was money Walker short shifted the maintenance on this city and let it crumble.

Now they have had to UP there money for maintainence to keep people from dying like this young man did.

So I take it you aren't going to vote for him next time?

 

[Truthmatters]

What you people need to face is your politicains will make short term decisions that are all about "keeping the taxes down" that end up costing the people harm as welll as MORE money in the end.


Your priorities are all wrong and this shows how and why.

 

[Truthmatters]

This scott fella wants to strave the beast.

This is the polical plan of wreaking the government from the inside so they can rationalize selling off all the peoples assets to their friends and the making money off the people forever.

Infrastructure sold will cost you big time later.

Maybe you should be addressing that question to all o' the Republicans who've spent those stim-buck$, to-date.

Yeah.....as if you 'Baggers (actually) stay engaged, on the subject.....or, any subject (that doesn't include Reality T.V. or NASCAR), for that matter.​

You are a completely un-objective partisan hack. Pretending that decades of Democrat rule in WI leading to the entrenched problems seen now is somehow squarely the blame of your demon du juor. (That's "demon of the day" for uneducated louts such as yourself.)

When the TRUTH is, the stimulus was NOT "targeted" as claimed, did NOT address infrastructure as claimed, and even had President Obama admitting later, there were NO "shovel ready" jobs coming from it, as promised.

Sounds like you're making a BETTER case for what Walker is doing, clearly the money is needed elsewhere and getting the public unions off the tit will save his state.

There is a process to remove Walker, TM.

Why don't you start a recall petition, or if you don't want to get that involved, vote against him next time.

 

[Truthmatters]

This isnt just about Walker this is about your silly failed ideas of how government shoudl be run.

It about the fools who insist no taxes be raised for ANY reason.

We have poublic assests in this country that are worth maintaining and your failed ideas produce failure in these public works.


The plan is ( the part you are not clued into) is to starve the beast.

Refuse to maintain this countries infrastructure so that it crumbles and they can then say it is too expensive to fix so we must sell it off to some politicains crony friend.

They then charge you up the ass for shitty service forever.

Why you people refuse to be clued in is the mystery

I know you dont care about any American whos not a tea party member.

That does not make you look any better to people who do care about this country.



Oh BTW do you care about the 15 year old kid who DIED because this maintenance was neglected?

 

[Mini 14]

Pink slips start going out tomorrow.

Do the union members and the dems think Walker isn't serious?

Will layoffs get their attention?

Eventually, the dems either return to do their jobs, or they are recalled and replaced by someone who will.

Bottom line is, they cannot avoid the vote. They can prolong it, but they cannot avoid it.

I know you're jackass stupid. You have no conscience, no human being matters to you more than your stupid failing democrats.
