About That SEWRPC Annual Tax-Paid Dinner: Which Elected Official Will Criticize It?

Will one Alderman, County Board supervisor or legislator openly criticize the annual, $1,000 taxpayer-paid dinner thrown for its commissioners, staff and consultants at The University Club?


Anyone?

If the silence continues, here's another idea.

Move the dinner down Wells St. a few miles to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, where $1,000 would feed far more people - - 540 meals by one estimate.

If SEWRPC really wants to connect with portions of the low-income community it has long ignored, maybe that's how to continue the dinners without the embarrassment and waste?
