The Holloway Saga Continues

Embattled Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway continues to try to beat the clock, if not the rap. The saga continues.

Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz on Wednesday declined to throw out the ethics case against Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway or block an ethics prosecutor from pursuing Holloway's bank records.

But Sankovitz did order the county-appointed hearing examiner to hold a separate hearing - before the scheduled April ethics trial - on whether allegations against Holloway fall outside a three-year statute of limitations.

Holloway attorney Jeremy Levinson said later that he was uncertain whether his client would appeal Sankovitz's ruling, which rejected Holloway's request to nullify the charges on grounds that the ethics probe was overly broad.

It's been more than a year since Supervisor Joe Rice filed his complaint. The clock tics. And Holloway remains in charge, to the shame of every member of the still disgraced Milwaukee County Board. (Every member will be disgraced as long as Holloway remains at the helm).

It is time those opposed to Holloway stand up. Especially as it appears the Holloway strategy is to simply play out the statute of limitations. Members of the Board and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker should do more than they have already done. Walker has remained virtually silent as it pertains to Holloway, and the Board has let itself be beaten down by Holloway's thuggish tactics.

Who will have the courage to bring a vote of no confidence before the full County Board?

Luigi? Do you think your constituents want you to keep enabling Holloway?

Trust me, there will be much more on this...
