State Budget Still a Hot Topic in Shorewood

After the first rallying cry rang out in Shorewood exactly a month ago , efforts will continue with rallies and a forum planned in response to the governor's budget and budget repair bill.

On Monday, at 5:30 p.m. at 2300 E. Kensington Blvd., a rally is scheduled  against lawmaker and Milwaukee County Executive candidate Jeff Stone, who voted in favor of the budget repair bill. The location is reportedly the site of a fundraiser for Stone’s campaign.

There also is a forum set for 7 p.m. Monday in Shorewood High School's auditorium, to discuss Gov. Scott Walker’s budget, with an overview of the  budget and its potential affects on schools, health care, workers and the environment.

Jack Norman, research director for the Institute for Wisconsin's Future; Michael Maher and Margaret Hickey, Village of Shorewood trustees; Paul Zovic, Shorewood School Board president; Barbara Beckert, Milwaukee director of Disability Rights Wisconsin; and Gerry Broderick, a Milwaukee County supervisor are expected to speak at the forum.

And Wednesday, as , group members are planning to line North Lake Drive armed with signs and clipboards to gather recall signatures.
