MAYOR TOM BARRETT'S ACCOUNTABILITY

Picture

It Means YOU must be INVOLVED . . .

Year 2004-2005

MAYOR’S ACCOUNTABILITY
Mayor Tom Barrett, City of Milwaukee, took Office April 20, 2004. It will soon be ONE YEAR.

We are in the 10th month of his term. The twelve-month evaluation is in the works.

LEGITIMACY
The LEGITIMACY of his Oath will be seen in his “shown” commitment of leadership. His specific efforts put in place over the twelve months to promote “ethics and public trust” during his first term of office.

The LEGITIMACY is in his “appointments” to key offices.

The LEGITIMACY is in “the proficiency/know-how” and “attentiveness/public service” of his Cabinet, staff advisors and city government staff.

The LEGITIMACY is how often he has OUTREACHED to PEOPLE OF COLOR constituents, Voters and Taxpayers.

The LEGITIMACY is how productive he is in seeing that African Americans, Latinos, Asians and American Indians voices are heard and decision making is visibly seen.

The LEGITIMACY is in how he works to change the JIM CROW type policy making that takes place routinely and systemically in the RESOLUTIONS, APPOINTMENTS and SERVICES that are provided by the City of Milwaukee.

The LEGITIMACY is in how quickly he has looked at and made changes from “corrupt” practices that his office has been told about.

The LEGITIMACY is in how close his candidate promises has been to delivery of service.

The LEGITIMACY is in how much he has focused on “family supporting jobs” for heads of household in low, moderate and no income areas of Milwaukee.

The LEGITIMACY is in how his ECONOMIC focus has been for inclusion of businesses and business owners of the Inner City.

The LEGITIMACY is in how supportive his office is to neighborhood leadership and governance for “safety prevention and safety intervention” in Inner City neighborhoods.

The LEGITIMACY is in how he responds to the hype of “voter fraud” vs how accessible the process is.

The LEGITIMACY is in how accurate he read the the “battle” for office that was attributed to RACE.

The LEGITIMACY is in how Tom Barrett Mayor can not depend on Tom Barrett U.S. Congressman to "square" acceptance. It is a NEW DAY. A lot transpired during the election and rejection was/is part of the aftermath.

PROACTIVE
Mayor Barrett has an advantage of a “BULLY PULPIT”, let’s see if he uses it; and, if so, how often.

The BUCK, BUREACACY AND "BUST" stop and start with his office; and, his seriousness of the issues mentioned here will determine his altitude in years in this position. In fact, he is running for the next term NOW.

We encourage Milwaukee residential and commercial stakeholders of the Inner City to share w/the Mayor the injustices and disfunctional points that continue to disenfranchise them and prevent their FULL PARTICIPATION as a responsible tax payer.
