A referendum to give the people a voice is now affordable. Last summer giving the people a voice
for a referendum to repeal citizen's united was not affordable. But a Republican State law maker wants the people to decide on county board members salaries and give them a voice on that.... So I think that when they go to ink that referendum up they might as well ink up a referendum to repeal citizen's united too..
"After state Senate approval of a bill to greatly curtail the Milwaukee County Board, Republican backers scoffed at Democratic Party critics who said the legislation trampled on local control.
One Milwaukee-area Republican, state Senator Leah Vukmir of Wauwatosa, said the accusation "couldnt be further from the truth."
"This measure is ultimately about local control and gives Milwaukee County taxpayers a choice," a Vukmir news release said May 15, 2013, a day after the 19-14 Senate vote. "We are giving the citizens of the county the voice to say exactly how the county board will operate."
Specifically, Vukmir said the bill mandates an April 2014 referendum in which Milwaukee County voters will determine if the County Boards budget is cut by two-thirds and board supervisors pay is cut in half."
