RE:

Jim Crow style behavior and

Disenfranchisement of
MC COLE Hammers Den, 1810-1822 W. Fond du Lac Avenue

Greetings Ms. Dupriest!

This is the first direct communication to you as a Milwaukeean, taxpayer, home
owner, neighbor, and representative with YMCA-CDC & St. Paul Neighborhood
Association.
Ethics Review
On October 10, 2014, I was present for the Walnut Way, 1834-36 W. Fond du
Lac Avenue property for a neighborhood meeting for Class B Licensees.
As I stated then, and support now, MC COLE should be given a chance. He
was attacked at the meeting and the people around the table reminded me of
when the same RACE of people faced red-lining for housing and integrated
marriages during Jim Crow. The eliteness was so thick that it has shown a light
on deceptive and improper behavior that was present that night and since.
This email is to allow you as the head of the organizations you represented at
the October 10, 2014, October 18, 2014 and October 20, 2014 to reply in
writing your objections to MC COLEs Class B license.
Is your organization involved with the $3million funding of Johnson Park?

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC is pursuing Ethics

accountability methods according to the charter officers of the city of
Milwaukee. And, we are most concern with the appearance of conflict of
interest and breach of Public Trust.

He has fulfilled Class B compliances that the city put forward:

All departments.
Paid over $7,000.00 in 2013-2014 property taxes.
Invested over $88,000.00 in the property to date.
Paid $1,100.00 in Class B License.
Project a minimum of 6 full-time jobs in first project Tavern.
Project a minimum of 10 full-time jobs in first and second projects
Tavern and Restaurant.
Housing two-2 bedroom apartments.
Petition support from neighbors and 19 Letters of industry support.
An Emerging and Vetted business implementation.
MC COLEs Hospitality business plan calls for 3 separate developments.
We are now in the timeframe for MC COLE to capture Hospitality revenue
during
November, December and the New Year. He has been treated unfairly and
unjustly.
He deserves a Chance.
We need your response by Monday, November 17, 2014, noon. This will meet
other deadlines already in play.

MC COLE
MC COLE is an investor, property owner, and my client, per my invitation at the
October 10, 2014 meeting.

Ms. DuPrest, our laws do not allow the vigilante takeover and isolation shown
over the last three (3) weeks. We abhor the behavior but see it as an
opportunity to correct some long overdue issues in the 15th and nearby
districts.

SMART GROWTH

I am available for clarity.

Appearance of Conflict of Interest

Breach of Public Trust
Since the course of events have exposed some troubling behaviors from
members of the neighborhood that are foreign to due process, but are
against the law in Ethic, my office is contacting those on the point that
Alderman Russell Stamper noted in his comments at the October 20, 2014
meeting where he placed MC COLEs Class B license on HOLD.
With U.S. Constitution Amendments 13 & 14 in mind,
