$350,000 to do what?

There is a proposal on the table right now to put 3 large letters at Michell International Airport. Should the proposal go through "MKE" will be at the airports entrance. If approved it would be constructed next year and cost around $350,000. The Milwaukee County Transportation, Public Works and Transit Committee are considering the ides.

Seriously... Seriously.... I can't. Really? What the hell? $350 THOUSAND DOLLARS! For some damn letters. You have got to be kidding me. I really don't understand how Milwaukee can spend so much money on Bullshit like 3 got damn letters.

There are so many other things that could use that money. Like how about a training/educational program to help put black men in Milwaukee back to work. Considering more than 50 percent of ALL African American men in Milwaukee ages 16-64 are UNEMPLOYED. Its just a thought.
How about funneling some of that money to help bring down the infant mortality rate here in the city? Since it disproportionally affects minority kids more so than whites I doubt that will ever happen. Seriously... 1 out of 59 babies in the city of Milwaukee. That's the rate of some 3rd world countries. We're not even going to talk about the co-sleeping deaths that seem to happen every week. How about we take that money and buy people real cribs. Or hell put people into some of these foreclosed homes that are becoming a nuisance in our poor city. I could go in on the foreclosure problem in the city, but I'm going to let that go for another blog post...
$350-THOUSAND DOLLARS... SERIOUSLY PEOPLE? Get it together.
