INCLUSIONPRACTICES & PROCEDURES GOVERNMENT

Greetings Candidate Barrett and Candidate Donovan!

February 16, 2016, you won the Primary for 2016 for the position of

CEO/Executive Branch of the City of Milwaukee. Over the next 48 Days,

you will be vetted for qualification between the two-of-you to see

which one of you fit-the-bill going forward to serve the city of

Milwaukee. This will NOT be a CORONATION.

It is imperative that you are made aware of the fact that this WILLNOT be cronies-business firewall, the haves and Caucasian only as usual

OR, hand-picked African American, Latino stepping forward for the

Willie Lynch sellout.

In fact, this is about competition between the two of you. What

you bring to the table FOR SERVICES that we feel should be represented

at the Executive level in City Hall for the CORE CONSTITUENTS.


3/7

It is imperative that WE, the People, CORE CONSTITUENTS African-American, other People of Color and Work Challenged

population of Milwaukee crystalize your difference and HOW IT

specifically will benefit Milwaukeeans that live in the city, return

from INCARCERATION, return from WAR, raise their family in the city,

seek transportation, seek family-supporting employment, seek housing

of todays lifestyle, seek adequate and healthy food in their

neighborhood, seek walk-in-the-neighborhood lifestyle, seek state-of-

the-art wireless and internet use in their homes and neighborhood,

seek top-rated schools to train their children and themselves for self-

sustaining purposes, and seek entrepreneurship in their neighborhood.

It is imperative that YOU know that both of you have SHOWNdisrespect for the CORE CONSTITUENTS by failing to represent them in

your present positions. Your inaction, insensitive comments, lack of

leadership and stewardship of our dollars and resources from the city

coffers is our first look for vetting.

It is imperative to know that we have seen you both PITTING thepolice department, individuals, city departments, city committees, city

boards, common council standing committees, corporations, outside ofcity companies, resolutions, GATE-KEEPER People of Color, and human

resource appointments against CORE CONSTITUENTS.

It is imperative that any type of racial profiling and downrightdiscrimination and disenfranchisement in your BIO/Rap Sheet/Portfolio

is troubling and will need you to address it.

Zip Code 53206 is a documented area of Milwaukee that is a priority in

Infrastructure for self-sustainability. You will need to show us that it ispart of your PLATFORM by immediate specifics to provide needed

benefits that will provide self-sufficiency.

4/7

It is imperative that Candidate Barrett apologize for the commentsand disrespect shown by him at the September 15, 2015 Renaissance

Luncheon with company high rollers that spoke of their well-being and

how they planned to continue FLEECING the People you NOW want

votes.

The high rollers have come more-than-once to raid the city coffers of

those MIRED in Enduring Concentrated Poverty and you NOT providing

leadership to provide capacity building and self-sufficiency employment

options, improving the DWilson Disparity Study, replacing risk-taken

behavior with HOPE and proof of Infrastructure change.

The high rollers panel for the sold-out Renaissance luncheon at the

Pfister Hotel were/are:

Sandy Botcher Vice President/Head of Building Projects

Northwestern Mutual Insurance

Alex Molinarolichairman, President & CEO, Johnson Controls;

Molinaroli is Co-Chair of the Greater Milwaukee Committee

downtown Task Force

Bob Monnat, Partner Mandel Group

John Daniels Jr., Quarles & Brady LLP Michael Fascitelli, Milwaukee Bucks

Greg Marcus,Marcus Corp

Chris AbeleMilwaukee County Executive

Mark SabljakPublisher, Milwaukee Business Journal

You failed to use this time of engagement, panel and audience, to

promote our city in collaboration give change- mount collaboration

and endless partnerships with the People. Those you NOW skinning

and grinningto RE-HIRE YOU. We noticed in your gathering the troops

for the Streetcar and Bucks deal, you were able to summon those you

cajole with promise of grandeur and/or reminded of adversity if they

did not conform. We, the People, will bring scrutiny upon all of you

because it is scrutiny time.

Speaking of scrutiny, you appointed Willie Wade to head the

Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board post. What is his

qualifications? What is he prepared to do? Yes. He sat on that

board. He has done the same on a number of boards and literally done

NOTHING. Often, going against the People; i.e., SEWRPC committee

and RACM decision-making. What is his mandate?

The business as usual self-importance claiming and blaming as

with Don Sykes and Earl Buford will not be tolerated. We also need to

look at a NEW construction of the board made up of the People and adhoc members from corporations to help grow and support the CORE

CONSTITUENTS. We have got to BREAK-UP the self-centered dens of

iniquity - fresh faces, NEW duties and expected outcomes for

evaluations. We see this pattern and practice on your appointed Bids,

committees, boards and authorities.

We see that this den has self-empowered three (3) of its FOLK in

NEW POSITIONS Willie Wade, Vice President Milwaukee AreaWorkforce Investment Board. Is this a NEWLY created position? Why?

Carla Cross (Cross Management) and Lafayette Crump (Prism

Technical), are the two additional members of the Milwaukee Area

Workforce Investment Board with NEW means thanks to the Peoples

stolen resources by you Candidate Barrett along with Candidate Chris

Abele, Scott Walker, Governor and rich millionaires and billionaires.

They were selected on February 16, 2016, by the Milwaukee Bucks

project. Carla and Lafayette seem to float out periodic. Is it because

they are so entrenched with you Candidate Barrett? They are NOT the

only African Americans in Milwaukee. Carla Cross has become the NO.

construction, EBE designations, you name it. This lady is OVERUSED

every since she left DCD. We will weigh in on the needs-of-the-city

that includes spreading opportunities to the People of Color talent of

Milwaukee. NOT JUST recycle and recycle one or two individuals.

We are calling for the removal of certain members of the city

government terrain. We start with Rocky Marcoux, Commissioner. He

is just too obstructive and disrespectful. We will return with others.

We want to see that Bid #32provides the following:

1.What was your corrective action for the wrongful creation of Bid

#32?

2.We want an audit to know and show what funds were received by

Jacqueline Ward, Sharon Adams (Lindsey Heights), Sue Eick

(Legacy Development Corporation IFF) and the Board? What

have done with the funds for the last 5 years with the

communication of the taxpayers?

Candidate Barrett, when you sat at the table of the Renaissance

Luncheon, September 15, 2015, you said nothing to speak on behalf of

95% of the population. Isnt it funny you are now asking for their VOTE?

The next 47 Days is the timeframe that is yours and Candidate RobertDonovan to EXPLAIN and try to Win CORE CONSTITUENTS vote.

CANDIDATE Donovan, you need to INTRODUCE yourself, sell what you

bring to the table that is worthy of consideration for a progressive

urban city that is People of Color mired in Enduring Concentrated

Poverty. There is so much that can be done and must be

communicated by the winner for the General election for mayor.

You also will have to justify your track record of the push for more

police and their behavior of patterns and practices of misuse of power

and wrongful behavior against African American and other People of

Color in Milwaukee.
