Mayor proposes cutting 120 police officers in 2021 budget Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is proposing to cut 120 police officers in the 2021 city budget.

He presented his budget Tuesday, September 22, 2020.

Barrett said the coronavirus pandemic has caused budget challenges and a drop in revenue.

Milwaukee's bond rating was recently downgraded by two notches making it more difficult for the city to borrow money.

Barrett said Milwaukee has not received an increase in revenue from the state in 18 years.

The legislature has also not allowed the city to implement a sales tax increase in order to help raise city revenue.

Barrett said Milwaukee has 650 fewer city employees

than it did in 2004.

"Coming into this budget year, I knew we knew we were going to face serious challenges with pension costs, employee health care and structural and fiscal issues," he said. "The pandemic and economic tsunami have made it much worse.

Additionally, this budget demands attention to fundamental issues of racial justice and equity."

Barrett said the eliminated positions at the police department would be through attrition and not layoffs.

The cost of police health care and other benefits have increased 6 percent, Barrett said.

The proposed budget also consolidates police and fire 911 operators and dispatchers.

"The new Office of Emergency Communication is positioned to provide better service in a more cost effective way," Barrett said.

"I want shorter wait times, fewer transfers of calls, and better overall service for our citizens."

Barrett called for less police militarization and a review of officer discipline.

"I know the vast majority of officers who serve our city are good officers and really good people who will embrace positive change," he

said. "I am also aware that the police department budget is going to disappoint some who want far less police spending and fewer police officers and it’s going to disappoint those who want more spending and more police officers."

Barrett also said one engine company from the fire department will need to be eliminated.

A new street lighting fee will be imposed on residents to upgrade the city's system.

Barrett said he also wanted to direct $6.5 million in resources into new housing support programs.

No cuts will be made to library hours.

The mayor said Milwaukee will need to contribute $71 million to the pension fund in 2021 and $160 million in

2023.

"We are facing an unsustainable demand driven primarily by the pensions for public safety employees," Barrett said. "We must begin preparing now, setting aside money to blunt the impact of the massive payments coming due in just two years.

We also need to have a real partnership with the state to help address this problem."

The budget also calls for creating a climate action plan to recommend ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions and create "green" jobs.

The Common Council will review the proposed budget and vote on it Nov. 6.

A virtual public meeting will be held Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. to hear comment on the budget.

Introducing the City of Milwaukee's new interim Commissioner of Health, Marlaina Jackson We are proud to introduce our next Interim Commissioner of Health, Marlaina Jackson.

Souls to the Polls and Greater Galilee hosts 'Labor Day Sit-In'

Staff Photos

Lift Up the Fight for Black Lives, Black Votes and Economic Justice Souls to the Polls, Greater Galilee Baptist Church and a network of churches, unions and community groups hosted a Labor Day sit-in on Monday, September 7, 2020 at Greater Galilee Baptist Church, 2432 N. Teutonia Avenue.

The struggles of the past six months have created fear and instability around the country, but churches, unions and community groups in Milwaukee have united to celebrate Labor Day and the strength of working people to build a society based on fairness, equality and a decent life for all Americans. This event will also mobilize voter participation for the presidential election in less than eight weeks.

Pastor Johnny White of Greater Galilee Baptist Church initiated the sit-in, saying, “ We cannot allow the forces of darkness to prevail. Our children should be safe from violence, our votes should be safe from suppression, all of us should have the opportunity to work, and every person in our community should have the food,

shelter and health care needed for a secure future. Even if many of us cannot march, we can sit and be witness to these rights.”

Sandra Thurman, event coordinator, stated that COVID-19 prevention was a key feature of the Labor Day event. There were safety screens, masks, clean wipes and social distancing. “We provided voter registration and absentee ballot request assistance for anyone interested. There also were information tables with lists of Election Commission sites for voter assistance, ballot deposit boxes and early voting.”

“The annual Labor Day parade was canceled, but we honored the organizations of working people who fought for good wages and working conditions. We will continue to raise up the call for all Milwaukee residents to secure family-supporting jobs, the call for an end to police brutality and the commitment to an election that ensures every person can vote safely and every ballot is counted,” said Reverend Greg Lewis of Pastors United.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (Week 3) What is prostate cancer?

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control.

The prostate is a gland found only in males. Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. According to the ACS, prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men and African American men. About 6 cases in 10 are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older, and it is rare in men under 40. The average age at diagnosis is about 66.

This month, this column is placing a spotlight on this disease and is serving as a clarion call to all men to educate themselves concerning this disease, learn the risk factors, signs and symptoms and see their health care professional for regular screenings and questions. If you have ever wondered ‘Can Anything Be Done to Prevent Prostate Cancer,’ the ACS answered this question as follows: There is no sure way to prevent prostate cancer.

Many risk factors such as age, race and family history are beyond our control. But the ACS notes there are some things you can do that might lower your risk of prostate

Next Week: Conclusion

cancer: Body weight, physical activity and diet The ACS says the effects of body weight, physical activity and diet on prostate cancer risk are not clear, but there are things you can do that might lower your risk.

Some studies have found that men who are overweight may have a slightly lower risk of prostate cancer overall, but a higher risk of prostate cancers that are likely to be fatal.

Some studies have found that men who are physically active on a regular basis have a slightly lower risk of prostate cancer. Vigorous activity may have a greater effect, especially on the risk of advanced prostate cancer.

Several studies have suggested that diets high in certain vegetables (including tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables (example: vegetables including cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower), soy, beans (and other legumes) or fish may be linked with a lower risk of prostate cancer, espe-

cially more advanced cancers.

The best advice, according to the ACS, about diet and activity to possibly reduce the risk of prostate cancer is to: • Eat at least 2-1/2 cups of a wide variety of vegetables and fruits each day.

• Be physically active.

• Stay at a healthy weight.

It may also be sensible, according to the ACS, to limit calcium supplements and to not get too much calcium in your diet. This does not mean that men who are being treated for prostate cancer should not take calcium supplements if their doctor recommends them.

If you or someone you know have questions regarding prostate cancer, talk to your health care professional or call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or use their Live Chat feature for assistance for cancer-related information and referrals, patient-related programs or resources. at https:// www.cancer.org/about-us/ online-help/contact-us.html

CLIP IT OR TICKET: Wisconsin Athletic HOF Inductee Driver surprises local Milwaukee barbershop in new ‘Click it or Ticket’ ads.

The seat belt usage rate in Milwaukee lags behind the rest of Wisconsin. That’s why Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Donald Driver, paid a recent visit to Gee’s Clippers in Milwaukee. Driver wanted to personally get the word out to customers at the barber shop that wearing seat belts saves lives and that you can get a ticket for not wearing one. Only a few of the customers that Driver surprised said they don’t wear their seat belts. But, after their encounter with Donald and having him buckle them in to the barber chair, chances are they do now! So, take it from a Driver who always wears his seat belt, every trip, every time; CLICK IT OR TICKET!

TestUpMKE campaign promotes COVID-19 testing information with an eye on health equity

A new campaign to promote COVID-19 testing access and information launched Saturday, September 19, 2020 with the debut of TestUpMKE.com. The website and ongoing campaign will provide the latest information about where, why and when to get COVID-19 tests in Milwaukee County, as well as important resources for communities of color and those who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, such as essential workers and immigrants. The website features COVID-19 testing information in five languages.

“We’ve had a diverse team of communications experts and community influencers helping shape the goals of the TestUp outreach plan,” Alison True, communications director, Sixteenth

Street Community Health Centers and TestUpMKE committee chairperson, said. “Not only is the website available in Spanish, Hmong, Arabic and Burmese, it also has an accessibility feature for those with hearing, visual and other special needs.”

The TestUpMKE campaign will include a variety of grass-roots communications and social media to help address confusion and misinformation about types of COVID-19 tests, eligibility for testing, the importance of contact tracing, and the role of testing in stopping the spread of the coronavirus. With a COVID-19 testing location map, catalogue of frequently asked ques-

Five seasonal DIY home improvement projects The calendar pages may be turning fast, but it’s not too late to do some work around the house. Now is the time to wrap up home improvement projects before the weather turns too cold.

Consider these five easy DIY tasks that can set you up for a warm, safe and pestfree fall: Perform routine HVAC maintenance. Heating and cooling systems need regular service to operate at peak efficiency. Some tasks are best left to the pros, but there is plenty you can do on your own to minimize expenses and ensure your unit maintains its performance level.

With the breaker and gas off, wipe the exterior of your furnace with a damp rag then remove the access door and vacuum the burners, base and blower compartment.

Remove and clean the blower with a vacuum and small brush then use a drinking straw to blow dust off the pilot. Also inspect the flame

sensor, drive belt and air filter, and clean or replace as needed.

Air seal drafty areas. The gaps around windows and door frames give unwanted air an open invitation into a home. However, you can quickly and easily block the flow of air for greater comfort and lower energy bills.

If the doors and windows are already finished, start by removing the trim. Prep the area by removing dust and debris. Using a quality seal-

ant like Great Stuff Window & Door Insulating Foam Sealant, apply the foam to fill in about 50 percent of the gap around the window or door and framework, allowing room for the foam to expand. Wipe away imperfections and let sit 1015 minutes until it’s no longer tacky. Gently press the expanded foam into the gap using a putty knife.

Check for damage to hardscaping.

Walkways, patios and decks are all sus-

ceptible to wear that can lead to tripping hazards or allow rain, snow and ice to seep in and create larger problems.

Take time to thoroughly assess these hardscape features and identify issues like loose stones and cracks in concrete that need repairs. Securing materials, filling cracks and patching problem areas can help prevent further damage during the colder months while restoring aesthetic appeal.

Inspect your home’s exterior. Many elements of your home serve essential roles in protecting your safety, regulating your home’s efficiency and preventing damage. It’s important to regularly check your roof for signs it needs repair, such as missing or cracked shingles or noticeable sagging. Gutters can also accumulate a great deal of debris from falling leaves.

Clearing these before cooler temperatures set in can help ensure rain has a clear path away from your house, pro-

tecting the walls and foundation. Also pay attention to other elements like paint that may require periodic updates to maintain its protective function.

Eliminate entry points for pests. When temperatures start dropping, you’re likely to see some movement with creatures who want to enjoy the comfort of your home. Make it clear they’re not welcome by sealing up places they may be creeping in. A solution like Great Stuff Pestblock Insulating Foam Sealant lets you fill gaps and openings with a quick bead of foam. If a rodent has an established pathway, try using a combination of steel wool and the foam to deter it from gnawing through the barrier.

UR HISTORY

AN EXPLORATION OF OUR LIVES AND LEGACIES

'I Had a Right to Be at Central': Remembering Little Rock's integration battle

It was late September 1957, and students at Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas had been in class for three weeks. Everyone, that is, but 14-year-old Carlotta Walls (pictured right) and eight other teenagers who were to be Central High’s first black students. They had been prevented from entering the school by an angry mob of citizens, backed up by a group of Arkansas National Guardsmen.

But on Sept. 25, under escort by federal troops, Carlotta and her classmates walked up the front steps of Central High and into history.

They became the highest-profile black students in the United States to integrate a formerly all-white school.

This month, Little Rock will celebrate the 60th anniversary of that pivotal moment in the civil rights movement by honoring the students who became known as the Little Rock Nine, with events including speeches by eight of the students as well as former president and Arkansas governor Bill Clinton.

For Carlotta Walls LaNier, the anniversary is a chance to raise awareness about the fight for racial equality. “Our purpose is for people today to understand why [kids] are sitting in classrooms with those who don’t look like them,” she tells TIME. “It was due to our success at Central 60 years ago.”

said in a televised speech on Sept. 24, 1957. The president sent 1,200 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division to protect the teenagers.

But, though each of the Little Rock Nine was assigned a personal military escort for the duration of the year, the troops were not allowed to enter classrooms, bathrooms or locker rooms. As a result, LaNier, like the eight other black students, endured daily indignities, threats and violence. Students spat on her Nier, now 74, says. “I wanted and yelled insults like “bathe best education available.” boon.” They knocked books It wasn’t until her registra- out of her hands and kicked tion card arrived in the mail her when she bent down to in July that her parents found pick them up. out she had enrolled.

The school year that made history Three years earlier, the Supreme Court had ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that school segregation was unconstitutional, but many areas, like Little Rock, refused to put that decision into action.

During the previous school year, Carlotta Walls had been a student at an all-black junior high school, where her homeroom teacher was aware of a district-wide decision to gradually implement the changes that would be required. That teacher asked the students if they were interested in attending Central High, the city’s most prestigious high school. Carlotta jumped at the opportunity and signed up without asking her parents. “I knew what Brown meant, and I expected schools to be integrated,” La-

early that while the soldiers were there to make sure the nine of us stayed alive, for anything short of that, I was pretty much on my own.”

And attending class in 1957 wasn’t the end of the fight for the Little Rock Nine, either. The next year, Governor Faubus closed all of Little Rock’s public high schools to avoid integration, leaving 3,700 students stranded. Carlotta was not deterred, completing 11th grade by taking correspondence courses. Just a month before receiving her high school diploma, a bomb blew through her house.

Carlotta made a point of returning to school the following day. “If I had not gone,” LaNier told NBC News in 2015, “they would have felt like they had won.”

Old divisions renewed Little Rock wasn’t the only city to resist school desegregation following the Brown decision, but the stark images that emerged from that particular conflict fueled public support for desegregation around the country. “When people saw what was going on, they were genuinely shocked and horrified,” said Brenes. “I don’t think you would have had the growth in the Civil Rights Movement if not for Little Rock.”

The crisis at Central High School did lead to increased school integration throughout the nation. But 60 years later, many public schools in the U.S. are still divided. The number of schools isolated along racial and economic lines more than doubled over a 13-year period ending in the 2013 school year, according to a 2016 Government Accountability Office study. What’s more, the report found that schools with higher concentrations of black or Hispanic and poor students offered fewer educational opportunities, including science, math and college-prep classes.

“The statistics are dire,” said Brenes. “This is not a Southern problem anymore.

This is a national problem.”

As national attention turns back to Little Rock, LaNier views the anniversary of the Little Rock Nine walking through the doors of Central High School as both a celebration of progress and a call to action.

“We still have work to do,” she says. “We have to make sure the progress we’ve made is not reversed.”
