Abele: Taxpayers, Like Workers, Should Be Exploited And Not Heard
"But Abele doesn't hold great disdain just for workers. He also finds taxpayers beneath his contempt. This was exemplified this week when it became painfully apparent that Abele didn't want to hear what the taxpayers had to say about him giving away 10 acres of county land for a whole dollar:
Tuesday marked the start of a new era for the Milwaukee County Board when, as supervisors started talking about sale of properties including the Park East corridor, they were told they have no power over them."
“They do not need to be here, but they are here, apparently,” the county's corporation counsel Paul Bargren said in response to a question from the board’s development committee about the land sales.
“These will be handled administratively from now on,” he said. “They won’t be coming to the committee.”
