Now that the Strauss Brands deal to move to the north side of Milwaukee is dead, what does this mean for the residents of 53206 and 53208?

Red Light Cameras Should Get a Green Light in Wisconsin
By LaKeshia Myers I am not disillusioned. Reckless driving is an issue in the City of Milwaukee, which is why I am a proponent of the proposed red light camera legislation. According to data provided by the City of Milwaukee, there has been a consistent uptick in reckless driving since 2012. In 2018, there were […]

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia Did African Union Ambassador to the United States Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao lose her job because of her outspokenness about France’s continued profiting off of her beloved Africa?

Trump is not Alone Among Americans in Failing to Understand What a Real Lynching is
Donald Trump’s use of the term “lynching” to describe the ongoing impeachment inquiry in the House naturally sparked bipartisan outrage. The president and his shameless apologist, South Carolina’s Sen.

Initially Anderson dismisses the […]

Mourning A Political Giant: An Ode to Congressman Elijah Cummings
By LaKeshia Myers I remember it like it was yesterday, my first full committee hearing with the Oversight & Government Reform Committee.
