Ald. D'Amato: Good Developer?

To the Riverwest Currents:

Alderman D’Amato: good neighbor? Good public servant? Good developer?
Why does D’Amato support developers who destroy green spaces, create severe parking congestion, create more traffic jams with increased commute time, and permanently alter existing, cohesive neighborhoods?

Why does D’Amato support developers like New Land Enterprises? New Land has one principal partner under Federal Indictment for Medi-Care fraud.
New Land hires contractors who in turn pay sub-standard wages. (Milwaukee Labor Press, Feb. 2003).

Why did D’Amato attend a convention hosted by and attended by developers in Las Vegas, Nevada? Why did D’Amato charge his trip to City of Milwaukee taxpayers (Journal-Sentinel Feb. 17, 2003)?

Why do D’Amato and THE MILWAUKEE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION advocate development that squeezes large, multi-unit structures into areas of low density single and two-family housing tracts?
Who are our City Officials serving??
