On April 3, voters in several municipalities will be asked to weigh in on the appropriate size of the Milwaukee County Board and the appropriate pay for supervisors – the latest twist in a longstanding debate regarding the functionality and utility of Milwaukee County government in the 21st century.

Is Milwaukee County’s current structure working, or would it function better with a part-time board or appointed executive? Is there too much overlap between the County and its municipalities, and which functions might be consolidated at which levels? How has the County’s relationship with the State of Wisconsin evolved over time, and is it permanently broken?

Join the Public Policy Forum at a Viewpoint Luncheon where three retiring Milwaukee County supervisors – with 48 years of collective service – will provide a candid insider’s view of County government and the questions surrounding its future. In addition, the three supervisors will offer their reflections on their time in office, the level of civility in legislative deliberations and campaigns, and the future of representative government in Milwaukee County
