State of the County

    Today, I am proud to be at the HOPE Christian Schools. These schools embody the kind of hope I see for the future of Milwaukee County.

Over the years, it has been my pleasure to be here for groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings and check presentations. I've heard choirs and speakers and even been part of a food tasting here. It's when I see the impact on the young people here of a quality education, however, that sparks my greatest amount of hope for the future.

These students will be the leaders of our community and our county, and the fact that they are doing so well is a positive sign for the future. I have great hope because of them. Thank you for hosting me here this morning.

All too often we hear about negative news in our community. Sometimes it is about our schools and other times it might be about some of the challenges we face in this city, this county and this state. These challenges are real. Today, however, I want to start by reporting on some of the positive news in our county. These are the things that give me hope for the future.
