Today the Milwaukee Common Council received the 2021 City of Milwaukee Budget from Mayor Barrett.
You can find the summary here:

Listening to Mayor Barrett present his recommended 2021 City of Milwaukee Budget.
Our office has received many inquiries about Trick or Treat during the pandemic.
With Wisconsin shattering daily records of new COVID 19 cases it’s time to reimagine Halloween and likely many fall and winter holidays in order to keep everyone safe.
Halloween isn’t cancelled it’s just going to need to be a little different.
Wisconsin Department of Health Services is recommending against traditional trick-or-treat this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Going house-to-house and having in-person contact is not recommended," according to the department's "COVID-19 Staying safe in your community" webpage.
Also note from the CDC -
“A costume mask (such as for Halloween) is not a substitute for a cloth mask," the CDC said. "A costume mask should not be used unless it is made of two or more layers of breathable fabric that covers the mouth and nose and doesn't leave gaps."

I won’t back down from fighting for the people even if it means challenging giant corporations. Expanding 5G is good progress but as a communications provider, Verizon needs to improve their communication with neighbors -
Dimitrijevic says under federal and state telecommunications laws, local governments have very little say-so over the construction.
"There should be a plan for the placement, to not just fit the telecommunications companies best marketing plan and their economic growth, but what actually works in a neighborhood. And that's the part I am most irritated about,” she said.
Dimitrijevic says Verizon's contractors have not been giving property owners the required 48-hour work notice.

It’s promising to see our first decline in cases since the beginning of July -MKE Cares our universal mask policy was adopted unanimously on July 13 and we can see the progress. Let’s keep up the good work Milwaukee and eliminate COVID 19 together.
🛎 Update from the Milwaukee Health Department 🛎
Below are the Five Key Indicators and Gating Criteria that drive our City’s advancement through the phases.
These measures are reassessed every Friday but advancement through the phases can only occur 14 days after we are in a new phase. Today is the 28-day mark for Phase 4.1.
We are pleased to report that we have a statistically significant decline in COVID-19 cases [-0.19, P-value of 0.001 (95% CI: -0.28, -0.10)] and our positivity rate is down to 5%.
We have not had a statistically significant increase/decrease since the week of July 2nd.
Considering our latest update, we will need to hold in Phase 4.1 to make sure that we are on the right track. We will reassess our progress next week, September 4, 2020. MHD will continue to monitor the situation and determine if additional protective measures are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Reminder – Masks are required per the MKE Cares mask ordinance, which went into effect on July 16, 2020 for the city of Milwaukee and the rest of the State on August 1, 2020. Please report business violations of the mask laws and order 4.1. by calling 414-286-3674 or emailing [email protected]. Complaints will remain anonymous.

Today, alongside State Representatives Myers and Haywood and Alderman Mark Borkowski, the bells of City Hall rang an extra 10 times at 12:00pm to commemorate the Women’s Equality Day --in honor of the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Other disenfranchising barriers would not be removed for Black women until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, for Native American women until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and for women ages 18 to 21 until the 26th Amendment.
The women’s rights movement for civil rights was met with violence and protests, however vigilance and equality prevailed. This year we made HerStory by electing the most women ever to the Milwaukee Common Council with five female members of fifteen.
It’s been a long road and we all have a long way to go. Let’s keep marching, together. Right on in to the ballot boxes.
