Supervisor Joe Rice on Holloway Matter

On NewsTalk 1130 WISN's Early Spin program this morning, Milwaukee County Supervisor Joe Rice (the original complaintant in the Holloway ethics case) said he's not willing to throw in the towel just yet.

He said there are several options his colleagues are pursuing to bring the funding question up before the full board.

Good.

As I mentioned last week, although pessimistic, I do not share former Ethics Board Chairman John Carter's view that it's over. It appears that at least some on the County Board are still willing to ensure the ethics case proceeds.

This morning Rice said, "I think it's critical that this thing moves forward, that it NOT be obstructed."

Indeed.

If you live in Milwaukee County, you can find out if your elected representative is or is not part of the problem.

If you do not know who your specific supervisor is, that's ok. You can call the main switchboard at 414-278-4222 and politely give the receptionist your address and ask to be directed to your supervisor's office.

Or you may check the various district maps at the Milwaukee County Board site here.

Personally, I am going to ask my supervisor the following:

Will you vote to give the Ethics Board the necessary funds to continue the proceeding against your chairman, Lee Holloway?
