Holloway

Next week could be interesting.

Also Monday, Holloway's latest appeal in the ethics case was rejected by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz. Holloway had sought to bar the Ethics Board from prosecuting certain counts that allege the chairman used his office for personal gain in a real estate deal with the now-defunct social service agency Opportunities Industrialization Center of Greater Milwaukee.

Holloway contended that those allegations are the province of the district attorney's office, not the Ethics Board.

The Ethics Board is requesting another $150,000 to continue prosecution in the Holloway case. The County Board's Finance Committee is expected to take up the request April 6.


Stay tuned.

Its awfully interesting that Holloway wanted the DA to look at this rather than the Exthics Board. Could be that a DA wouldn't take a year (and a zillion dollars) to find out there's no wrongdoing.
