EDITORIAL: Mayor Taylor to the Rescue?

After reading Franklin mayor promotes redistricting fight in the FranklinNOW, we cannot understand Mayor Taylor’s interest in picking a fight with the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, over its vote on a plan to reduce the board by one seat, from 19 to 18, or why it matters to "his honor" that in drawing the map for the new districts, the North Shore's 6th District was eliminated. The Board’s plan cuts Whitefish Bay in half and leaves Supervisor Joe Rice without a job.

We hardly heard a peep out of the mayor when the Harley Davidson Distribution Center in the Franklin Business Park pulled up stakes in Franklin, eliminating 150 jobs and leaving another tenantless building in the business park.    Mayor Taylor needs to  reset his priorities and get to work for the taxpayers in the City of Franklin.  There is plenty for Mayor Taylor to do here, without getting himself involved with issues involving North Shore suburbs.
