CRG to raise funds to continue Holloway investigation

I am going to try my best to be here! CRG is holding a fund raiser to raise money to continue the Holloway investigation. If our elected officials won't do what is needed, we will do it without them! If I can't make it, I'm sending a check.

Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) will host a rally for all parties interested in participating on or donating to a committee to raise money to continue the 90-count ethics investigation of Milwaukee County Chair Lee Holloway. Earlier, members of Holloway’s hand-picked Finance Committee voted against the funding necessary to complete the investigation.

Holloway has been under investigation for allegations that he failed to disclose ownership of property for which he received payments totaling $165,000 from OIC, allegedly to rent a building they never occupied and to purchase a building for which Holloway never provided title to. The now defunct OIC was a taxpayer-funded social service agency closed after fraud convictions.

The rally will be held on Wednesday, April 12th, at 7:00PM 6:00PM, at Serb Hall located on the corner of Oklahoma Avenue and 51st Street. A featured speaker will be Maria Monreal Cameron, CEO and President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce who resigned as Vice-President of the Milwaukee County Ethics Board today after becoming “disillusioned, angry and bitter” over the Finance Committee’s failure to approve additional funding.


Check CRG for more details.

UPDATE: Correct Time is 6:00 PM
I just got an email from Chris Kliesmet and he confirms that the time for the rally will be 6:00 PM.

The time was changed to 6PM to accommodate speakers.
