"Prisons and jails across the United States are overcrowded ... jeopardizing the safety of incarcerated people, correctional officers and surrounding communities." Of course, I agree. People who are incarcerated deserve better, safer conditions now.

Thereās still hope to save it, though. Itās up to
@govevers.wisconsin.gov
and my colleagues in the new legislature to prioritize keeping people in their homes. This is a common sense, demonstrably successful program for Milwaukeeans āwe should make it universal, not shut it down. (3/3)

This was a choice, not an inevitability. The program has saved Milwaukee tenants from hundreds of evictions āand saved our justice system tons of $$ on enforcing unfair evictions. But it wasnāt a priority for the Common Council or the County Board, who only provided short term funding. (2/3)

Property taxes are regressive, falling much harder on the poor and working class (including on tenants when passed through via rent.) Wisconsinās massive over-reliance on property taxes is squeezing residents out of homes their families have lived in for generationsā¦
