Occasionally Milwaukee exposes itself but this time they were a little more transparent than usual. Thanks for pointing it out. It took 6+ years for the Milwaukee Journal to tell the truth about the extra cost that CHOICE students cost the tax payers of Milwaukee. Alan Borsuk sat in my living room while I laid it out for him but John Norqusit was mayor and would not hear of the truth. In John Norquist’s 16 years 30,000+ children have been miseducated the vast majority of them, children of color and yet not a finger was lifted for them and now the HORROR goes on. I can not believe how MPS is participating in its own destruction. I understand the pro CHOICE folks but the others have NEVER made a motion to hold a referendum to raise the cap! Hundreds of "Lift the Cap" signs but not one sign or motion to raise the cap. Racine has held 16 such referendums and 8 have passed. The last one the kids went out and got 7500 signatures to keep sports and the arts!!! I cry for the children of Milwaukee held in the prison of lies and deceit. Yes Welcome to Milwaukee.
