Have you called your Milwaukee County Supervisor yet?

From jsonline.com:
“A 13th Milwaukee County supervisor today said he favors holding a November referendum on a 1-cent local sales tax increase.
Supervisor Theo Lipscomb said he would vote to override the expected veto of the referendum by County Executive Scott Walker. Adding Lipscomb's vote to the 12 supervisors who approved holding the sales tax referendum last week would provide the necessary veto override margin.”
This is a bad idea. Taxes are already too high in Milwaukee County. Another tax increase is unnecessary and Scott Walker is taking the appropriate action with a veto.
Walker’s veto needs to be upheld. Call your Milwaukee County Supervisor ASAP and ask that he/she vote to sustain the veto of the sales tax referendum.
