(Milwaukee County Post — April 7, 2017) outcome of the referendum by press deadline. But video of a recent talk facilitated by nonpartisan group Public Policy Forum demonstrates the divisiveness of the issue. The talk, held March 20, focused on Milwaukee County Transit System needs and the rationale behind a wheel tax. Panelists included Abele, County Board President Theodore Lipscomb Sr., County Board Supervisor Deanna Alexander and county comptroller Scott Manske. During the talk, Abele said, "We have a fairly limited set of tools. We've cut a lot of lot of services already. We've cut a lot of staffing already. We're a pretty lean governing operation." Alexander, who represents por- tions of Milwaukee's Northwest Side, was especially vocal about the wheel tax. "I disagree with that direction," Alexander said when asked of her position on a wheel tax. "I believe my constituents do not want to see their taxes increased." The referendum question was one in a series of items on municipal bal- lots across the county. Other election highlights included: ■ Votes in the state superintendent race closely mirrored what tran- spired elsewhere in Wisconsin. Incumbent Tony Evers received more than two-thirds of the vote — 68,006, or 71.62 percent of the ballots cast — within Milwaukee County. Challenger Lowell Holtz received 26,754 votes, or 28.18 percent of the total. ■ Three incumbent mayors will retain their seats after overtaking their opponents. In Franklin, incumbent Mayor Steve Olson received 53.9 percent of the vote total, or 3,132 ballots cast. Challenger Basil Ryan garnered 2,694 votes, or 45.6 percent of the total. Greenfield Mayor Michael Neitzke received 76.9 percent, or 3,613 ballots cast. His challenger, Ben Rucka, received 1,076 votes, or 22.1 percent. South Milwaukee Mayor Erik Brooks had the largest victory of the three mayoral races, receiving 81.56 percent, or 2,229 votes. Challenger Jim Leavens mustered 497 votes, or 18.19 percent. ■ In the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, residents within its boundaries defeated a bind- ing referendum question, asking to exceed revenue limits by $12.5 million over the next five years. Fifty-five percent, or 5,116 voters, said "no" to the question, while 45 percent, or 4,073 voters said "yes." West Allis-West Milwaukee has been grappling with a series of finan- cial issues, stemming from misman- agement from prior school district administrators. ■ On the Milwaukee School Board, voters favored Annie Woodward for District 4, Larry Miller for District 5, Tony Baez for District 6 and Paula Phillips for District 7. ■ In the race for Circuit Court, Branch 47, Kristy Yang overtook chal- lenger Scott Wales with 57 percent of the vote total. ■ In the race for municipal judge, Branch 1, in the city of Milwaukee, Valarie Hill defeated William Crowley with 60 percent of the vote total.

His grandparents, Margaret and Michael Gill, who are working at the bar, are coordinating fundraising efforts at the fish fry.
