You have failed Milwaukee in so many ways., Unfortunately, the FPC board sees this as a game. The FPC board laughed and joked at an individual who has fought for the citizens of Milwaukee. But this isn't a game. This is reality. the City of Milwaukee is struggling, but you  decided to keep this game going."
