AFSCME Council 48 members (Milwaukee County employees) need the help of AFSCME members all across Wisconsin.
County Executive Scott Walker, to date, has failed to provide proper funding levels for and commitment to, protecting and preserving Milwaukee County parks. He claims "lack of revenue" as his reason for making all of the drastic cuts to proper funding of the parks.
In November voters passed a referendum to create a 0.5% sales tax to collect revenue to fund the parks and remove the claim of Executive Walker that there is not proper funding for the parks. However, this referendum has affect only by means of a legislative bill. AB504 was introduced as that bill, but it currently sits stalled in the Joint Committee on Finance.
With just a few clicks of your mouse you can support our brothers and sisters of AFSCME Council 48. So please, start "clicking" away!
