Gov.-elect Crowley downplays Milwaukee County budget error

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s newly elected governor is brushing off accusations that he hid Milwaukee County’s $4.5 million budget deficit. Gov.-elect David Crowley admitted during an appearance on UpFront over the weekend that he knew about the budget gap weeks before the deficit was made public. "We knew about this, yes," Crowley said. Crowley unveiled Milwaukee County’s $1 billion budget on Oct. 1. Crowley said his staff told him about a $4.5 million error in the budget on Oct. 20. That news wasn’t shared with county supervisors or voters until the day after last week’s election. "We wanted to make sure that we were doing the best thing possible as far as giving as much information as possible to the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors,” Crowley said. "Yes, there was an error, but we wanted to make sure we could communicate what happened with that error, how we found a solution and how we fixed it moving forward." Budget Director Nick Sinram told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he didn't disclose the budget problems to the public until after the election because he wanted to "present solutions" along with news of the error.

Run Black and Green Connects Wellness With Community Action in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, WI— Leaves crunched underfoot as participants in Run Black and Green’s Strides for Survival event walked through McGovern Park on Saturday, October 31, passing a lake, an apple orchard and a 300-year-old oak tree—sights many were seeing for the first time. The event, which celebrated the legacy of the Black Panther Movement, brought attendees together to move their bodies and learn from one another. For Nateya Taylor, who founded Run Black and Green, her passion for movement grew from her own experiences. “For me, growing up in Milwaukee, I was always afraid to move in my own neighborhood or to go on a walk in my own neighborhood,” Taylor said. The idea for Run Black and Green, now in its second year, came from Taylor’s experiences working in public health and her studies of criminal justice. In her studies, she was struck by the disparities Black people experience. Health outcomes for Black people in Milwaukee are worse in many cases than those for other racial and ethnic groups. A 2024 report from Health Compass Milwaukee showed that life expectancy for Black residents in Milwaukee County was 68.9 years, compared to 78.1 years for Hispanic residents and 79.7 years for

Deteriorating Vietnam memorial restored ahead of Veterans Day

Two summers ago, Brenda Lee Love and her family made the 3½-hour journey from Wausau to Milwaukee. They wanted to show her father, Phillip Allen Love, his brick at the Southeastern Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Veterans Park, which honors Wisconsinites who served in the Vietnam War. He affectionally called it "my brick" and talked about it all the time, keeping a photo on his desk. His family bought the brick as a surprise for him around 2001, but they hadn't all traveled together to see it until 2024. It was her father's first time visiting the site. While he faced cancer and dementia, he understood what it meant when they suggested a trip to Milwaukee. When they arrived, he sat on one of the benches, emotions flooding him. "He was quiet at first, and then he remarked several times at how the soldiers would be so surprised at the condition," Brenda said. "And he just shook his head over and over, and that kind of stuck with me." Brenda wrote to the War Memorial Center about her father's dismay at the state of the bricks – their faded lettering, an algae-like texture. She received a lengthy email less than
