Greater Milwaukee Committee writes, AB 85, the plutocratic power grab bill

Here is their front group"My Milwaukee" membership:


Richard Meeusen, President and CEO of Badger Meter, and member of the GMC Board;
Jason Fields, former state legislator who got booted or of office for selling out to the school profiteers and now employed as the head of the GMC lobbying front group;
Joe Sanfelippo, whom they mistakenly identify as the bill's author. Remember that Abele proudly announced his acts of bribery by giving Sanfelippo campaign donations while this bill was being introduced.
Julia Taylor, the head of the GMC.
Brian Schupper, Policy Director for GMC and the schmuck who sends out the email blasts for MY Milwaukee.

Most observers already know that the Greater Milwaukee Committee (GMC) has been plotting and planning for some time to undermine the Milwaukee County Board. Frankly the newly introduced AB 85 is another attempt to micromanage Milwaukee County from Madison via special interest legislation. GMC has retained the services of a high profile PR firm, created a front group and hired a small army of lobbyists to push this special interest legislation through the state legislature. But now thanks to a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Dan Bice, we now know that those same GMC lobbyists were not just busy pushing this legislation but they were in fact literally in the room helping write it.
