This morning, Gov. Scott Walker unveiled an alternate plan for redeveloping Milwaukee’s lakefront. The new concept comes on the heels of a plan announced in March by the governor, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele.

That earlier announcement included reconfiguring the approaches to I-794 East and West, including ramps connecting to the Hoan Bridge, as well as new construction.

The governor’s new plan doesn’t tinker with the development of a condo high-rise, four new froyo shops and a trio of new office towers near the locus of Lincoln Memorial Drive and Michigan Streets, and encompassing an area as far north as Mason Street and south into the Third Ward.

It does, however, heavily overhaul the freeway access portion of the earlier concept.

Walker said in an interview with WTMJ-AM Monday morning, the earlier idea ignored the fact that "folks really just want to be able to get out of Milwaukee as quickly as possible at the end of the day."

In order to facilitate this speedy exit from a city that the governor described in an interview as, "a sh*t-hole full of hairy undesirables and atheists."

The new office developments will feature underground parking lots accessible only to commuters, who will be able to enter and exit their workplaces without stepping out onto the crime-ridden city streets, where, Walker noted, "junkies harass hookers endlessly until their pimps step in and the bullets start to fly."

The exits of these parking garages will feed directly onto I-794 and County Sheriff’s squads will be stationed nearby at morning and evening rush-hour to ensure the safety of the workers as they make their way back to, in the governor's words, "desirable communities," like Pewaukee, Hartland and Grafton.

Sheriff David Clarke said he was on board with the idea. For the first time all year, he didn't release a crazy press release, but did alter his digital billboard to show a photo of himself, wearing a cowboy hat and making "finger guns."

"Pew pew," read the caption.

Although Barrett and Abele decried the idea, firing off a volley of press releases this morning, State Sen. Alberta Darling and Rep. Leah Vukmir spoke highly of the amended plan.

"I think it’s great that we finally have a governor willing to speak the truth about Milwaukee," said Darling by phone from a Fox Point nail salon.

"The hail of bullets that flies around Milwaukee all day long like so many annoying mosquitoes is fine for the Socialists and poor people that choose to live there, but there’s no reason that God-fearing Americans should have to dodge bullets or drive behind a stinky bus on their way to work."

Walker expects his plan to pass into law easily, he said.

"I’ve got the votes," he said. "After all, who in Madison would dare stand up for a city full of losers like Milwaukee? Certainly no one on our side of the aisle. And I don’t even think any of the folks on the other side could even read the bill, much less understand it."

Walker said the lakefront plan is the first step in a larger city-wide plan that would allow Milwaukee’s municipal employees to flee the city more quickly, too, once residency rules are lifted.
