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.

Most Milwaukee students not attending MPS schools

(The Center Square) – For the first time, most students in Milwaukee are not attending one of Milwaukee’s public schools. Marquette University Law School senior fellow Alan Borsuk published his research in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday. "Half of the children who live in the city of Milwaukee and who receive publicly funded education are enrolled in the Milwaukee Public Schools system. And half are enrolled in schools that are not part of MPS," Borsuk wrote. "It’s a reality with major implications." Borsuk's research shows that there are 104,363 students in Milwaukee this year. He said that about half, a little more than 50,000 go to either private voucher schools or public charter schools. "More than 50,000 Milwaukee students are now getting education outside of MPS schools. Whether you like school choice programs or not, whether you like or dislike the impact of school choice on the conventional public school systems, you can’t ignore the reality: None of those 50,000-plus children were assigned to go to non-MPS schools. Such assignments would be against the law. The kids are there by choice," Borsuk added. Will Flanders, with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, said the choice part of Borsuk's
