Dear Friends and Neighbors, 

The County Grounds Coalition is hosting a community forum on the future of the County Grounds on Thursday, Sept. 14, at the Firefly Room from 6 - 8 pm (Wauwatosa Library).

The fight to save the last remaining wooded acres of the County Grounds is not over. Although we all won some major victories earlier this spring, the Mayor of Wauwatosa and other city officials are working hard behind the scenes to reverse the progress we’ve made. They’re trying to carve several natural areas out of the proposed expansion of County Grounds Park, including wooded green spaces bordering the Sanctuary Woods, for their development plans.

We have to stop them!

Demand that sensebrenner stand against DeVos’ plan to voucherize our schools and divert money away from public schools into private religious schools.

Friday at 5 - 6 p.m.
Wauwatosa Public Library
7635 W North Ave, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin 53213

Stand with Indivisible Tosa and Tosa Together as we have a pop-up protest in solidarity with the victims of the Charlottesville attack. It is a moral imperative for all of us to make it clear that we do not accept hate in our community. We will be assembling for one hour, during the rush hour, to publicly proclaim that hate has no home here. Join us as you please within that hour.

Following is a letter I wrote to Rob Hutton. I urge you to write or call your state assemblyman and state senator Leah Vukmir to share your thoughts about the Foxconn "deal." (Contact information)

NOT ONE PENNY of tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, or wealthy corporations! 

Tuesday, August 15 at 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Orange Sunburst Sculpture by the Milwaukee Art Museum

Come join us for the official kick off of the Not One Penny campaign,  a response to the Donald Trump and the GOP's plan to further rig the tax code to benefit the ultra rich at the expense of the working class.

The battle over the Obamacare "repeal and replace" taught us two important lessons:

1. The Republican members of Congress have either not plans or lousy plans. With more than 7 years to to come up with a plan that improves Americans' health care they came up with:
    -- cut Medicaid
    -- cut taxes for the wealthy
2. Though the GOP controls the White House (sort of) and both houses of Congress, active, intelligent resistance works.

It's time to bring our resistance to bear on the next lousy GOP plan, tax reform.

For a long time, corporations have been luring job-starved states into bidding wars, conning them into tax breaks for setting up shop in the locations subsidized by the highest bidder.

The states' participation in these schemes seem driven by wishful thinking or ideology, but the success of of corporations has given economists plenty of cases to investigate whether it's good for taxpayers. The consensus seems to be not so much.
