MILWAUKEE COUNTY TAXPAYERS – DON’T BE MADE A $50 MILLION DAM FOOL!
Don’t let this happen…because Milwaukee County Executive Abele & Mayor Barrett are Penny Wise & Dam Dumb…illegally defying 3 repair orders and selling off public parkland for $1.00 to avoid long neglected maintenance cost, by destroying it.
EVERYONE LOSES:
#1. Warning - Downtown Milwaukee River and Harbor –
Tons of pollution damaging debris and huge floating Treeburg’s coming your way.
#2. Taxpayers Lose - $35 Million in wasted new lake & river clean-up around Blatz Pavilion–and $12-20 million in taxpayer lawsuit liabilities from property remediation and value losses…
PLUS loss & destruction of your only county public recreational lake and upstream river navigation.

Please check out this FIRST in a series of MUST READ Articles by David Holmes published by Urban Milwaukee. Finally, some media ink on "the rest of the story" of the Estabrook Dam saga.
Thanks to Mr. Holmes for the articulate, credible and well-researched material presented here --- and thanks to Urban Milwaukee for having the wisdom and perspective to provide a forum for these under-served aspects of the debate to be heard.

Removing it could cost more, damage environment and foreclose innovative solutions. First in a series.
