There appears to not be a budget problem unless you talk about health care for the county workers. Then they have to tighten their belts and cough up more. Now I'm sure if Ablee says this guy did nothing wrong he probably didn't. But then don't go and tell the county resident's that they can't put a referendum on the ballot to get rid of citizens united because it would cost the taxer....


"It wasn't enough that the former chief of staff to the Milwaukee County Board got a backdrop of nearly $800,000.

Or that Terrence Cooley gets an annual pension of about $56,000 a year.

Or that Cooley received more than $76,000 for unused sick leave when he retired from his county job in August.

But the County Board then decided to rehire Cooley a month later to a $45-an-hour, part-time job to help work on the budget, according to county records."
