National attention on Milwaukee park funding

The City Parks Blog is a blog for the Center for City Park Excellence, part of the Trust for Public Land. They've taken notice and have brought national attention to the Milwaukee park funding situation.

They specifically take note that increasing funding for the parks was not listed as an option by the County Auditor, although selling park land was considered an option.

Sell parkland?

The County Auditor has suggested selling parkland in Milwaukee County. Please see the article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/80633172.html

If you have ideas on what could/should be done to save the County Parks, please share.
