CITIZEN Oversight and Wake-up Call ask County Economic and Community Development to honor name and purpose

L-Top Down:  Supervisor Patricia Jursik, Supervisor Martin Weddle, Supervisor Supreme Omokunde
L-R Bottom;  Supervisor Willie Johnson, Supervisor Steve Taylor, Supervisor James Schmitt and Supervisor Khalif  Rainey 

Call for Due Diligence and a Profile in Courage is asked today of the members of the Milwaukee County Economic and Community Development Committee in their meeting of historic value today.

Committee Purpose

It oversees the administration of federal, state and local housing programs in the county, including the Urban Community Development Block Grant Program. Matters pertaining to economic development of Milwaukee County, including the best disposition of county properties, are decided by this Committee. It also makes decisions on the Research Park and the Airport Business Park.

The Milwaukee County Economic and Community Development Committee is the decision making seven-member group that has the authority of decision regarding the 1, 2, 4 and 7 blocks of the Park East real estate.  More importantly, it is the elected committee responsibility to vet their decision with that of the People.  The 7-member body consist of:

Supervisor Patricia Jursik, Chair - District 8

Committee Members

Supervisor Martin Weddle, Vice Chair - District 5

Supervisor Jim "Luigi" Schmitt - District 6

Supervisor Willie Johnson, Jr. - District 13

Supervisor Steve F. Taylor  - District 9

Supervisor Khalif Rainey - District 2

Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde - District 10

Last Meeting  

Aye: 5 - Schmitt, Johnson Jr., Taylor, Moore Omokunde and Jursik 

No: 2 - Rainey and Weddle.

According to the Minutes, Supervisor Rainey called for the vote.  What information had he gotten from his constituents to make that call given the fact that he and his colleagues (county, state and local) had been left out of the design plan and decision-making of, It is Cheaper to Keep Them deal by County Executive Chris Abele, Governor Scott Walker and Mayor Tom Barrett on June 4, 2015.

It is crucial that the taxpayers of the city and county are at the table at this point.  They are the ones with the 30-year commitment tied to this deal.  They are the owners of the real estate, tax credits, bonds, resolutions, staff and personnel engagement.  Therefore, any component of the deal must factor in the overall benefits and profits to gain by the People - their constituents.

Based on the final vote, two members of the committee were prepared to "RUBBER STAMP" the deal.  They were:  

L-R:  Supervisor Martin Weddle, District 5 and Supervisor Khalif Rainey - District 2

• Supervisor and Vice Chair Martin Weddle - District 5
• Supervisor Khalif Rainey - District 2

This was disappointing since the two (2) African Americans represent districts NOT at the table in any of the NBA Bucks projects - Arena, Park East or otherwise.  So, what were/are they thinking?  It is disappointing because it shows a lack of due diligence and profile in courage at the table providing homework, leadership and stewardship in providing opportunity of INCLUSION and bringing to the table options of change, not RUBBER STAMPING and rolling over.

What forceful dialog was given by Supervisors Jursik, Rainey, Taylor, Schmitt, Omokunde, Weddle and Johnson to argue the merits of "HOLD" for further discussions, more documentations, conferring with their intergovernmental colleagues; and, most of all to confer with the People of their districts. 

Were they taking the War Memorial input and the power players before them, insiders under the thumbprint of Chris Abele (James Tarantino, Director of Economic Development, Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Scott Manske, Milwaukee County Comptroller Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic, Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors Paul Bargren, Corporation Counsel Teig Whaley-Smith, Director, DAS David Cullen, Milwaukee County Treasurer); or, Union heads (Josh Garner, International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, and Rail Transportation Rick Parrent, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Ricardo Gutierrez, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 494 Kurt Jante, IBEW Local 494 Joel Allen, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 7 Robert Weaver, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Tim Krieg, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Tom Dewar, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Steve Buffalo, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Mike Ervin, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Robert Turner, IBEW Local 494 Todd Pauly, IBEW Local 494,  John W. Hawley, Laborers Union Local 113 Chris Oty, Laborers International Union of North America Robert K. Potter, Heat & Frost Insulators John Swan III, Laborers Union Local 113 Bernie Same, Laborers Union Local 113 Luis Guevara, Laborers Union Local 113 Tom Benevenuto, Teamsters Dale Powelait, Steamfitters Union Local 601, Greg West, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 Dan Bukiewicz, Milwaukee Building and Construction Trades Council), or, city of Milwaukee supporters, developers and NBA Bucks representatives (Peter Feigin, President, Milwaukee Bucks Michael Fascitelli, Minority Owner, Milwaukee Bucks, Lead Developer, Head of the Herd, LLC Rocky Marcoux, Commissioner, Department of City Development, City of Milwaukee, Tim Sheehy - MMAC) rather than asking and gettingthe  VOICE OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS?  

The ball is in your court and so are the game rules.  Walker signed off but the deal can be broken if the key elements are not there.  Did you not KNOW THIS?  This is your job to seek the solutions and leverage the court, the bargaining field.

DO NOT draft the "powers-to-be" dialog - going along to get along and to advance YOUR personal agendas?  This brand of leadership is for the People to "fire you".

It appears that there was the willingness to go the next mile in leadership andstewardship with not only dialog but vote by Chair Patricia Jursik.  It remains to be seen today what level of leadership, due diligence, behind-the-scene leveraging and persuasion has taken place since June 15, 2015 vote.

We ask all seven (7) of the Economic and Community Development to do everything within their power to NOT "Checkmate" Milwaukeeans, especially African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenge - not a smart move in Profile of Courage and Due Diligence politics of leadership and stewardship.

Citizen Oversight and Wake-up Call for NBA Milwaukee Bucks Projects

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Stadiums (HBO) - CAN YOU BELIEVE the Arrogance and Greed of the NBA BUCKS Owners and Barrett

John Oliver - Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC and Citizen Oversight and Wake-up Call on NBA Milwaukee Bucks projects continues to make the case that the People of Milwaukee must take a stance to seize an "out-of-control" power play and take over of city assets that convey illegally real estate and city assets by Tom Barrett - Mayor, Marc Lasry, Wes Eden and Herb Kohl.  It is said that drugs have a hallucination aspect and gangsters engage in extortion.  

Perhaps we should say when it comes to this deal - millions and even billion dollar price tag have Barrett, Chris Abele and Scott Walker in a fog.  Is there a conflict of interest that has felony on it?

The three have a fiduciary responsibility to the People of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and state of Wisconsin.

Acts of BAIT-N-SWITCH, commandeering of the People's real estate, "threat of leaving" and shakedown tactics means NO DEAL.

John Oliver Show
View the video and see how mayor Tom Barrett, ex-U.S. Senator Kohl, Marc Larsy, and Wes Edens are seen as "con men".  
Do the People want to have a partnership here?

This information video has satire but the information is SERIOUS about what Stadium Owners are doing across America to get access to city and county public coffers.  It sounds "criminal".  

The video is for you to decide how Milwaukeeans will address the awful deal concerning the MEGA gift-giving to the NBA Bucks owners and developers with NO REAL GUARANTEES, i.e., the NBA Bucks team comes in No. 1, every year for 30 years.   

The video is 19.07 minutes.

Click the start button and then take the white circle to 9:13 for the first Milwaukee focus and then the 2nd focus at 11:50 minutes - listen closely to Tom Barrett's comments at 13.13 minutes.

MPA LLC and Citizen Oversight and Wake-up Call of NBA Bucks Projects has launched a campaign that is part of the Follow the Money information sharing a media focused "push back" for informed decision-making and reform for taxpayers and stakeholders.

Citizen Oversight and Wake-up Call on NBA Milwaukee Bucks Projects, July 12, 2015

City Center Milwaukee | DAY 245 |  On this Second Sunday,July 12, 2015, two days after the REMOVAL of the Confederate Flag from the Capitol of South Carolina, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC calls for responsible Stewards - Citizens of Milwaukee, to stand up and against another form of injustice that is being put in place by a MISUSE OF POWER by those in elected-appointed-hired and donor for hire representatives of government.

Just as the Confederate Flag was wrong and a misuse of power and represented Slavery of African Americans and symbolized involuntary servitude, so does the recent - June 4, 2015, "It is Cheaper to Keep Them" NBA Milwaukee Bucks Deal signed by Scott Walker, governor of Wisconsin and sanctioned by Chris Abele - Milwaukee County and Tom Barrett - City of Milwaukee.

MPA LLC calls for Citizen Oversight and Wake-up Call on NBA Milwaukee Bucks Projects.

It is to say NO to the "IN-YOUR-FACE, SLAVERY, INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE" of TAKING THE ASSETS PERSONAL and/or PUBLIC and ASSIGNING IT TO THE OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS of the NBA MILWAUKEE BUCKS OWNERS in the name of a BASKETBALL TEAM WITHOUT THE PEOPLE'S EXPRESSED SAY-SO, AGREEMENT. 

It is TO SAY NO to Scott Walker - Governor of Wisconsin, Chris Abele - Milwaukee County Executive and Tom Barrett - Mayor of Milwaukee violation of the 13th and 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

CHECKLIST

The Checklist grows long with missed due diligence.  They are:

The June 4, 2015 deal called, "It is Cheaper to Keep Them"signed by Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin, was/is BOGUS.  He failed to consult with the people.  He and his GOP representatives (DEMOCRATS were not included) failed to ethically address the sensitive and costly issues of the NBA Bucks Arena and the seige of land and massive benefits by Herb Kohl, Marc Lasry, Wes Eden, developers and investors.

Walker failed his responsibility under Oath - and so did Abele and Barrett.

City Center Milwaukee | DAY 232 | The Quarterly meeting of Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC was two hours (2) of engagements of discussion for informed Information sharing.  

SATURDAY TALK topic of discussion was:  

The Buck and NBA Bucks stop with the CORE CONSTITUENTS - NEW Arena and Park East Development for the NBA Milwaukee Bucks.

NEW BREED

The five (5) Speakers were a true expression of Hidden Talent and professionals willing to provide transparent and accountable leadership based in STEWARDSHIP for the electorates of the city of Milwaukee. 

They are:

• James Methu - Mayor

They represent a NEW BREED.

They represent a NEW BREED of politicians in Milwaukee who see "Capacity Building" and removal of Enduring Concentrated Poverty means being INCLUSIVE in our economic development for quality-of-life issues for ALL Milwaukeeans.  

A common thread from each of the personable candidates was the insight about their "constituents" - Who they are?  Where they are?  What problems do they see?  What they want done.

"Hearing each one of the speakers/candidates, you could see and hear a NEW BREED".  "Hearing each one of the speakers/candidates, you could see and hear a NEW BREED of candidates for mayor and alderman for the charter officers of Milwaukee."  "Each speaker came to the podium with their brand of passion and expressed disappointment in how the Arena and Park East opportunity failed Milwaukeeans in its present proposal," said Mary Glass, Chair/CEO/CVO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC.

The topic of  discussion for SATURDAY TALK was centered on the "Cheaper to Keep Them" plan provided for Wisconsinites on June 4, 2015 by Governor Scott Walker, County Executive Chris Abele and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

Some take-aways

Takeaways from the SATURDAY TALK session June 27, 2015 were:

• Know the facts - bond issues, exemptions of taxes, burden of taxes, tax-shift burden on taxpayers in Milwaukee
• Voter Registration
• Spreading the wealth to the neighborhoods
• Infrastructure injection with business development 
• Employment linked to business development in the neighborhood with corporate businesses
• Expected services for taxpayers through DCD, DPW and Neighborhood Services
• Contacting your elected officials - city, county, state and federal
• Present "Cheaper to Keep Them" pledge by Scott Walker - Governor, Chris Abele - County and Tom Barrett - Mayor IS not for Milwaukeeans and Milwaukee County
• A NEW BREED of politicians have emerged.

Prepare to be amazed.

Lite Refreshments

Why JURSIK, SCHMITT, JOHNSON, TAYLOR, OMOKUNDE, WEDDLE and RAINEY must not let the People down

June 23, 2015

City Center Milwaukee | DAY 296 | The CORE CONSTITUENTS of the city of Milwaukee have to STAND TALL.  We can not allow our elected officials to cast votes that do not represent our core value issues.  We can not allow them to be led by slogans, bait-n-switch, bones of status thrown their way to sabotage the short- and long-term vision of the People.

We can not allow our elected officials to go forth in less knowledge and lack of due diligence.  They all  took (were supposed to) an Oath to the U.S. Constitution.  It is our duty to assist with the transparency, code of conduct, conflict of interest citings, accountability, and due diligence best practices.

We do not and can not get excellence from bad practices, cronyism, payment of markers, partisan politics, perks and privileges given - employment and appointments.  NO ONE IS EXEMPT from scrutiny.

Heads-up - Park East Real Estate

Therefore, we have to GO-FOR-BROKE here.

Therefore, we must call a SPADE-a-SPADE.

Therefore, we must call Walker, Abele and Barrett out on the discriminatory and divisive roll-out on June 4, 2015 - "It is Cheaper to Keep Them" scam to the People for the deal making of Wesley Edens,  Marc Lasry, Herb Kohl and the developers.

Therefore, we can not get confused by the wheeling and dealing of forecloser companies owned by the Bucks' owners or what the labor unions and MMAC are wheeling and dealing. 

Where is the BEEF for the DEEP POCKET investors, the CORE CONSTITUENTS?

Therefore, WE MUST ROLL CALL for Ethics and stand against MONOPOLY-OLIGOPOLY greed.

Is a deal durable?
The idea of a NEW Arena is durable.

The idea of an Entertainment and public space development is durable as a CATALYTIC development.

IF

If it is a Partnership with pen-2-paper; line items for guidance and accountability.

If there is a Partnership of TRUST.  If there are CORE CONSTITUENTS (African American, other People of Color and Work Challenged) on the Wisconsin Center District other than an elected official.  And, these appointees/envoys are tied to training and transparent reporting to the People. 

If the MASTER PLAN is "catalytic" - inclusive, respectful, weighted with rules and regulations that will drive the removal of Enduring Concentrated Poverty; it must show from beginning to end, all 3 phases of development with the CORE CONSTITUENTS written in for 10-20-30 years of commitment.

Park East Real Estate
This includes the Milwaukee County Economic and Community Development Committee LAID OVER vote receiving scrutiny.  Each member of the committee must be vetted for real reasons for their support of the deal submitted by Walker, Abele and Barrett.  

Favoritism based on "it will bring jobs" or "it has been vacant for 10 years" or "it will not change" is lazy-thinking, divisive and unacceptable without real substantial reasons for agreeing. 

Duties

The Milwaukee County Economic and Community Development Committee oversees the administration of federal, state and local housing programs in the county, including the Urban Community Development Block Grant Program. Matters pertaining to economic development of Milwaukee County, including the best disposition of county properties, are decided by this Committee. It also makes decisions on the Research Park and the Airport Business Park.

The seven (7) member Economic and Community Development Committee members are:

• Chair - Supervisor Patricia Jursik, District 8
• Vice Chair - Supervisor Martin Weddle, District 5
• Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde, District 10
• Supervisor Steve Taylor, District 9
• Supervisor Willie Johnson Jr., District 13
• Supervisor Khalif Rainey, District 2
• Supervisor James Schmitt, District 6

Their vetting starts NOW. From now to the next meeting, July 20, 2015, 9:00am, Room 201B.  Constituents and knowledgeable individuals should email, call, write and talk with those on this committee for exchange and sharing the MUST DO factsheet.  Their final decision must be based on at least nine (9)  steps taken.  They are:

1. real due diligence - members of this committee individually and collective doing their homework.
2. rationales backed up by data and commitments on the table for the constituents they represent (city and county).
3. documentation by DNR and other proofing of the plan given on June 4, 2015 (Walker, Abele and Barrett) and other data in the possession of Milwaukee County
4. call ABELE before the committee for INPUTS of his office that will tie-the-hands of the constituents that are in the master plan and his "questionable" $4 million per year collection for Milwaukee County.
5. an investigation of mandatory collection and its impact to constituents.
6. proof of jobs (gainful employment and wage benefits calculations over the 30-year timeframe for those un- and under-employed).  
7. Each supervisor on the Economic and Community Development Committee justify how their constituents will overcome Enduring Concentrated Poverty by his/her vote on the issue.  
8. means-test the benefits promised by the Bucks owners, investors and developers for the CORE CONSTITUENTS.
9. each member on the committee note that he/she is putting their job on the line for any appearance of "cronyism", "business as usual" and "sabotage" of the best deal for the People.

All Hands on Deck

Supervisor Weddle

There were two members of this committee that voted "NO" at the June Meeting.  They were:

• Supervisor Martin Weddle, District 5 - Vice Chair
• Supervisor Khalif Rainey, District 2

We need EVERYONE at the table fighting the status quo of Enduring Concentrated Poverty, divisiveness, misuse of power, discrimination, lack of due process and economic development for those trapped.  We need NEW ideas.  We need our leaders to be proactive and not TAKE WHAT IS GIVEN as if that is all that can be done - especially when our BARGAINING CHIPS are at such a high premium.

Call and asked them why they voted "NO" at the June 15, 2015 meeting?

Supervisor Rainey

Ask Supervisor Rainey why he made the Motion to adopt the "as-is" plan and how many constituents had he polled from his district to come to that decision?

Also, ask Supervisor Taylor why he moved to Table the decision of the committee?

Ask the others what they are doing to ensure their decision on July 20, 2015 will be the right one.

                                          414.278.4222 - County Board number.

Due Diligence and Accountability

This is an investment of real estate, assets, a 30-year commitment, a substantial amount of add-ons that will be sucked up in the city coffers, the People can NOT allow the mayor, county executive and governor - sometimes seemingly animated during the June 4, 2015 press conference - to pass-off this INCOMPLETE and DISCRIMINATORY plan.  There are so many possibilities here.  

It is our time to "encrypt guarantees" here.

Not bait-n-switch number dropping.

Not the "DOWNTOWN excitement at the demise of the CORE CONSTITUENTS.
Not the haves celebrate take-over of the Peoples assets and cast them further into decline.

And since the CORE CONSTITUENTS were not asked to convene from the jump off of this deal, have been held back from input and negotiations; we must hold firm and take NO PRISONERS.

=======================

Supervisor/Chair
Patricia Jursik
Economic and Community
Development Committee

Below are statements made by Supervisor and Chair of the Economic and Community Development Committee after the June meetings.  MPA LLC supports her comments all the way.

“The community of Milwaukee has a strong desire to keep the Milwaukee Bucks and to find a way to build a new, modern downtown arena.  But the current deal for Milwaukee County that rests on debt collection to pay for bonding on the arena cannot stand.

“Simply stated, ‘bad debt’ is not a revenue stream.  It is an unconscionable trick, not a resource. It is a con game of ‘hide the ball.’  The ball is largely property tax, whether garnered from diverting debt collections from the county’s collection of delinquent property taxes or other court judgments to pay bond liability for the new arena.  This collection would have otherwise offset property taxes in the budget. Additionally, if there is shortfall of the ‘bad debt’ collections, shared revenue from the state earmarked for Milwaukee will be diverted to pay this shortfall.  This, too, translates into property tax dollars or additional loss of services, likely shorting our parks and cultural assets such as the Milwaukee County Zoo or the Milwaukee Public Museum that ultimately depend on property tax support.  Any way you want to describe this shell game, funding will fall on property taxes, already the single most burdensome tax on our local residents.

“This is even more alarming to my south shore district of four lake shore cities, all outside of the City of Milwaukee, namely St. Francis, Cudahy, South Milwaukee and Oak Creek.  Nearly one-fourth of the foreclosure collections would come from these four cities.  Since Milwaukee County’s collection of ‘bad debt’ through foreclosure does not include any of the City of Milwaukee, all of this ‘bad debt’ revenue would come only from county suburban communities.  This is both inequitable to my district and may well be a denial of their equal protection property rights.

“The County Executive’s deal is unconscionable since this ‘bad debt’ collection will fall mostly on the poor, the elderly, those suffering medical setback or loss of a job.  Does the Buck’s organization really want to be associated with such a deal?  I call on the Bucks owners in the spirit of the generous gift of Herb Kohl to return to the bargaining table and get a real financing plan finalized.  Does the ‘Head of the Herd,’ the Bucks development group, want to be seen as a stampeding herd of hungry bucks trampling the elderly and vulnerable down an unbeaten path in their quest for riches in the heartland?”

PRESS RELEASE - The Buck and NBA Milwaukee Bucks Stop with the Core Constituents

June 23, 2015

The Buck and NBA Milwaukee Bucks Stop with the Core Constituents

SATURDAY TALK puts Skin-n-the-Game with ‘Follow the Money’ forum

On Saturday, June 27, 2015, Milwaukee Professional Association LLC will host Follow the Money – The Buck and NBA Milwaukee Bucks Stop here, from 12 Noon – 2:30pm, Center Street Library, 2727 W. Center Street.  It is an opportunity for the People to examine the issues and say, Aye or No in looking at the benefits and non-benefits for the People of the city of Milwaukee.

Speakers invited include the 2015-2016 candidates pursuing office for the city of Milwaukee.  They are candidates for mayor and alderperson – pursuing a NEW office.

On June 4, 2015, the owners of the government coffers at the city level; and, stockholders-stakeholders of the county, state and federal coffers were given another Bait-n-Switch claim in a press conference lead by Governor Scott Walker, County Executive Chris Abele and Mayor Tom Barrett for selling the $$mega Arena and Park East deal for the NBA team named Milwaukee Bucks and its NEW owners, investors and developers. 

They forgot to include the owners of the coffers at the bargaining table.  The ones that were being mentioned in the “pie chart” posters and numbers it stated in their catchy theme.

The details of Skin-n-the-Game for the CORE CONSTITUENTS – African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged – those asked to pay-the-tab, Fork over valuable real estate, and commit to decades of investments, were completely missing from the press conference. 

How can this deal be taken seriously by the CORE CONSTITUENTS?  It appears to be fraudulent and fraught with disrespect.

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC has launched its NEW website – MPA LLC BUCKS PAGE – www.mpallcmkebuckspage.blogspot.com.   This website will share for informed decision making for CORE CONSTITUENTS.  Additionally, MPA LLC will host the first forum discussion on Saturday, June 27, 2015, Center Street Library, 2727 W. Center, 12 Noon – 2:30pm.  Open to the Public.
