Lee Holloway current Milw. County Board President and acting County Exec. has announced his candidacy for the Milw. County Exec. position vacated by our new Governor Scott Walker.
Holloway is the most qualified candidate, I know thats true because he said so. He also had a transition team of 34 people to help him settle into the position he will hold for an entire 30 days. You dont get that kind of backing without some major qualifications. Sure 34 people might seem excessive if you consider that is less than the President of the United States had but Obama will be there for 4 years so Holloway needed to move a lot faster.
Now I know your saying, hey isnt Holloway a slumlord. Rumors and innuendo I say, sure 5 or 6 documented stories in the local paper about his dilapidated properties, a few lawsuits against him by the county and numerous complaints by residents who live there are nothing but slander I say! I mean this guy is going to fix the problems Walker left behind at the mental Health Complex he told us that during his rambling semi incoherent inauguration speech. I mean his press conference.
I can hear you now saying wait a minute, hes President of the Board dont they have to approve the County Exec's. budget which led to problems at the MHC in the first place and aren't many of the resident of his run down properties also mentally disabled? Didnt he also preside over those budgets that bypassed maintenance at county owned properties and parks and were said to have contributed to the death of a young man at the O'Donnell parking structure?
All I have to say to that is 34 people on that transition team, more than the President, that is some clout!. Who has time for budgets and building maintenance, do you have any idea how hard it is to even find 34 people who like you much less who can take time off in the middle of a work day to stand outside in January in Milwaukee and support you?
I dont think I even know 34 people much less 34 people who like me enough for that kind of support.
Lee Holloway for Milw. County Exec. he wont fix his homes but he will raise your taxes, I know he said so!
I know where you live.
ReplyDeleteI am very worried about the state of our State. It was time for Doyle to go, and I normally vote democrat, but this Lee Holloway in Milwaukee and Scott Walker as our Governor we are in trouble.
ReplyDeleteAs far as throwing money at things, its not the answer but either is taking departments that have been state departments for since they started and trying to make them private.
What will happen to all those state workers if this revamp happens? Reapply for their old jobs? re-apply?
Thanks for covering some thing out of our area , but yet in our State and of much interest to many of us.
