The Public Policy Forum's Rob Henken, echolng the national debate, offers some thoughtful discussion about whether regional governance can be made to work here.
I agree that the recent decision-making process that ultimately distributed some regional transportation dollars offered a glimmer of hope for regional outcomes.
I'd still rather first see Milwaukee, and perhaps with its urbanized neighbors, such as Racine County to the south, create a new regional body that could have representation and agendas that reflect their populations, rather than a reconfigured SEWRPC that keeps its crazy-quilt seven counties (rural Walworth, Washington and Ozaukee Counties, for example, stitched to Milwaukee).
But keep the debate going.
