Rep. Craig Applauds Passage of Common Sense Milwaukee County Board Reform
Reform of Milwaukee County Board is necessary to allow county residents to "take back their county government."
David Craig is the Representative of the 83rd Assembly district, which includes Muskego, Big Bend, Vernon portions of Waukesha, Mukwonago, Hales Corners, Waterford and East Troy.
On Wednesday, Representative David Craig (R-Town of Vernon) voted in favor of Assembly Bill 85, which will reform the Milwaukee County Board. In response to his vote and the passage of AB 85, Rep. Craig issued the following statement:
“Today the people of Milwaukee County got one step closer to reclaiming control of their county government. For far too long the Milwaukee County Board has ignored the voters, whether it be through their failure to act on referendums asking them to reduce their size and pay, or whether it be their labor negotiations with public employee unions – directly contradicting state law. I look forward to the Senate passing this legislation, the Governor signing it into law, and the people of Milwaukee finally being able to take back their county government once and for all through a direct referendum.”
