When All Right Means All Wrong In Waukesha County
Does it ever occur to anyone in a position of authority in the Greater Waukesha vicinity that every time they make a hard right turn, or meddle in Milwaukee labor and budget affairs, or further cement barriers between Milwaukee and Waukesha they are making it easier - - I'd say odds-on predictable - - for Milwaukee officials to reject the City of Waukesha's eventual bid for Milwaukee water?
After helping stick it in so many ways to Milwaukee, it would make perfect sense for the City of Milwaukee to say to Waukesha officials - - "Enjoy your freedom to pay millions more to pipe in water from Racine or Oak Creek."
