Holloway Investigation Underway

You figured with the way former County Executive Tom Ament was treated local government would clean up its act. Not so in the case of Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway. With the downfall of OIC we learned Holloway received $165,000 from the now defunct agency in exchange for a building he owned. Trouble is Holloway never gave up ownership. So while the county board chairman got thousands of dollars from OIC Holloway voted on issues pertaining to the agency. Common sense would tell you Holloway was paid off. The county ethics board is investigating.

Holloway's excuse is amazing. He claims he didn't know he still owned the building. If so, then why did he continue to pay property taxes on it? What kind of idiot would pay taxes on a property he didn't think he owned? Holloway's a Lefty who would feel bad about raising taxes, but even he wouldn't pay taxes he didn't feel he owed. How stupid does Holloway think voters are?
