Resignation in Milwaukee
It has been a month since I last posted on Milwaukee voting problems. The FBI is involved so it is starting to get interesting. Captain's Quarters has a link to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article about the resignation of the executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission . The Journal reports, “Under a blitz of criticism over the city's handling of the Nov. 2 presidential election, Lisa Artison resigned Tuesday as executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission after four weeks off the job on sick time.”
Captain Ed comments, “Her mysterious resignation probably has to do with the independent investigation launched by a combination of the state legislature, the local DA, and the FBI. Artison started taking her assigned sick days shortly after the mayor's committee on the Election Day fiasco -- on which Artison inexplicably got to sit -- got superceded by the new independent panel. City officials get 30 days of sick leave and earn more as the year progresses, based on service, and it's pretty apparent that Artison saw the writing on the wall after she and her patron, Mayor Tom Barrett, lost control of the investigation.”
My common sense voting reforms would solve Milwaukee’s problems of having more votes than voters.
