Milwaukee County resident's were told they couldn't put the citizen's United referendum on the ballot because it costs to much to the tax payers.. Initially the cost was 19,000, but when the residents said they would pay for it themselves they jacked up the price to over 30,000.... These guys control a lot of deals going down in this state.. and now they seem to control the new county executive Abele
