Promises about County Government on Abele-O-Meter

Will "use the proceeds from the sale of underused county facilities to help accelerate debt repayment as part of his Milwaukee County facilities and energy reform plan."

Over the next year will "work with key stakeholders to finally develop a plan to invest $36.6 million in federal transit funds designated for Milwaukee County that have for too long sat idle as a result of partisan bickering."

"Establish an official framework to guide consolidation of services and functions between County, State and local governments."

Will establish "a final Park East Plan that will turn the vacant land into job-generating development."

Abele said that, if elected, he would move the county’s economic development office into the same building as Milwaukee’s Department of City Development.
