Dear Neighbors, Spring is just around the corner and there are many things to be excited about in addition to the warmer weather. Here's a quick summary of what you can find in this e-newsletter: First, I hope you will join me for a special event on March 8 to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Pulaski Park pavilion and other improvements to Pulaski Park, including a new futsal court and improvements in flood control. If you've been to South Shore Park, you will have noticed the ongoing work to continue improving the parking lot, as part of the multi-million dollar renovations that we started in 2015. More about the $1.2 million improvements budgeted for 2017 can be found in last winter's newsletter.
Also included in this update is a list of the Milwaukee County Parks that will host beer gardens this year. Don't worry if you missed the pop-up beer garden at Whitnall Park last weekend - this year 13 parks will host beer gardens. My first piece of legislation this year was a resolution that reaffirms Milwaukee County's commitment to respect all people equally and treat our neighbors with dignity and respect, including immigrants. I was very proud of my colleagues on the County Board who joined me in voting to send a strong message that everyone is welcome in Milwaukee County. Lastly, this update includes information about how to obtain a municipal ID through the City of Milwaukee. Municipal IDs will also be accepted at Milwaukee County facilities.
Sincerely,
SAVE THE DATE:

Supervisors: All are Welcome in Milwaukee County
MILWAUKEE – County Supervisors affirmed their opposition to all forms of discrimination on Thursday, February 2, 2017 by
adopting 12 to 6 a resolution that states a commitment to value all people equally.
Supervisor Dimitrijevic offered the resolution as a response to President Trump's divisive executive order to ban US visas for
people from certain Muslim-majority countries, his indefinite hold on the US refugee program, and promises of further action.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has said he will enforce Trump's anti-immigrant policies, going so far as to say he will
deputize his officers as ICE agents, while Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn has said it is not the responsibility of local police to
carry out federal policy.
"We should be finding ways to strengthen relationships between the community and local law enforcement, not create fear and
division, as our sheriff has promised”, said Supervisor Dimitrijevic.
"The people of Milwaukee County have told us loud and clear that they do not want to be divided and they are opposed to attacks
on immigrants, Muslims, Jews, women and other targeted groups. Today, supervisors said we hear you, and Milwaukee County
stands with you against discrimination, hate, and bigotry."
"I commend my colleagues on the County Board for standing on the right side of history today, for showing courage today in the
face of threats, and for boldly reaffirming our values.
"This resolution recognizes that we are a diverse community and reaffirms our commitment to respect all people equally."
"When the values that form our country's foundation are under attack, it's our duty to defend the Constitution in order that all peo-
ple are valued and respected equally”, concluded Supervisor Dimitrijevic.
Supervisors received hundreds of calls and emails about the resolution in the past week, most of them in support of the resolution.
