JSOnline reports the bad news but forgot to talk to someone about it.
For those who forgot, it's milk carton Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett who is in charge of MMSD. Who's in charge?

Proposal to prevent basement backup and sewer overflows applies to properties built before early '70s

Owners of houses built before the early 1970s in the Milwaukee area could be required to spend at least $3,000 on top of local property taxes for mandated sewer repairs and foundation drain changes on their properties, as part of a new effort to reduce sewer overflows and basement backups."

The actual culprit here is Henry Maier, Dictator-for-Life of Milwaukee, who cut a deal with the (D) Governor, allowing Milwaukee NOT to separate storm and sanitary sewers when MMSD was created.
Also note: MMSD's Board, which has taxing authority, is NOT elected--just like your local tech-school board is NOT elected.
Dad,
I sure wonder when it comes to the people of Milwaukee get socked with another tax or charge, Barrett is no where to be found.
I guess it's not Barrett's fault. The MSM don't seem to ask him his thoughts since he is in charge of MMSD.
Thanks for you comment.
Have a GREAT week.
