And isn't Milwaukee majority Black? How he keep winning??


Honestly, I'm just shocked that there don't appear to be term limits there. Where else in America can you be the Mayor forever?

Mayor's have damn near unilateral power if the city's council is ass. I remember Bloomberg made a 3rd term so he could run again and he won then eliminated the 3rd term . But every state is different.

what made you decide to post about him when he's no longer going to be mayor? he's waiting for his ambassador appointment to be approved and he's outta there.

it's hyperbole, breh. I'm just surprised at how long he's been mayor is all.

We have term limits where I live. Figured most cities, especially large cities like Milwaukee did.

But a las...I was wrong

Daley? The master of the election machine in Chicago? Who stole Illinois for Kennedy?

my surprise is how, in a major city, does some one last that long?

That shyt is fishy to me. There should be many, many, many candidates. how they win for 20+ years straight?
