New Life Considered For The Public Museum’s Iconic Exhibits

A state legislator is launching a long shot bid to preserve the current Milwaukee Public Museum after its replacement opens next year. Rep. Russell Goodwin (D-Milwaukee) tells Milwaukee Magazine that he is exploring whether the state could purchase the county-owned building and use part of it as a scaled-back museum while turning the rest into offices for justice-related state agencies and possibly other uses.

Robin Vos Says David Crowley Was Willing to Let Milwaukee Brewers Leave State; Crowley Wanted to ‘Stick It to the Rest of Wisconsin’

“He wanted to stick it to the rest of Wisconsin just like he’s going to do as governor” – Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on David Crowley. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley is misleading the public when he seizes credit for the historic stadium financing deal that kept the Milwaukee Brewers here, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says. According to Vos, Crowley was willing to let the Brewers leave the state because he tried to “stick it to the rest of Wisconsin” by initially refusing to contribute any county tax dollars to the project.

A $100m Brown Deer sports complex has a name as developer refines plan

A youth sports facility planned for Brown Deer has a refined conceptual plan – and a name. The North Shore Sports Village is proposed for around 16 acres along North Arbon Drive, just south of West Brown Deer Road. Developer Cobalt Partners LLC announced the name on Nov. 3 – one day after presenting conceptual plans to the Village Board. That presentation included a new video for the proposal, which combines an indoor sports and recreation complex with complementary dining, retail, and community-oriented amenities. "Our goal is to create something truly special for Brown Deer and the entire North Shore – a destination that brings people together, expands access to sports and recreation, and serves as a catalyst for continued economic development," said Scott Yauck, Cobalt founder and CEO, in a statement. “The North Shore Sports Village will fill an important gap not only in Brown Deer, but throughout the region," said village President Wanda Montgomery. "We are excited about the opportunity to help bring this transformative project to life." The project's name "reflects its broader vision of creating a regional destination where sports, recreation, wellness, and community come together," according to Cobalt.

Voters turn down public safety referendums in Muskego and New Berlin

Separate bids by the cities of Muskego and New Berlin to add more police and firefighters through tax-levy overrides both failed on Nov. 3. As part of a busy mix of midterm election choices, including state and federal offices and three state constitutional questions, voters defeated the strictly local public safety referendums by nearly a 2-to-1 margin in Muskego. According to preliminary results, about 64.4% (9,023 to 4,984) voted against the Muskego measure. The vote count in New Berlin, with about 56.2% (11,908 to 9,285) voting "no," was closer but nonetheless decisive. "I respect the voters’ decision, and I appreciate everyone who took the time to ask questions, share their views and vote," Muskego Mayor Rick Petfalski said in an emailed statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "This proposal did not receive the community’s support. We need to listen and better understand what residents believe would be a better path forward." New Berlin Mayor Dave Ament did not immediately respond to a request for a statement Tuesday night. A statement on behalf of the city acknowledged the result, adding: "The city appreciates the residents who attended public information meetings, reviewed referendum materials, and asked questions throughout the process."
