"Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway named himself and Supervisor Michael Mayo Sr. to the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority, he said Thursday.
"The appointments made good on Holloway's threat to do so and use them as a platform to block progress on funding for a commuter rail link between Milwaukee and Kenosha until a deal is made to give state approval to a local sales tax for transit.
"Holloway has been critical of Gov. Jim Doyle for vetoing legislation that would have authorized a 0.5% increase in the local sales tax to pay for transit."

According to the Journal Times:
“'To be clear, I am not opposed to the KRM line. In fact, I support it. But supporters of the KRM must first fix the bus system, otherwise the KRM will never happen,' Holloway said in a news release.”

So he gets to appoint himself to an "authority," and then says no KRM until "we" fix Milwaukee's buses.
LOL

I'm still basking in the benefits of paying for Miller Park in Milwaukee.
You can thanks Lehman and Mason for this directly.
I'll appoint you to a position and decide your pay if you appoint me to a position and decide mine!
