Whew, the council flip-flops and approves Zweig art

At a morning committee hearing, aldermen were wowed by the turnout and by the messages received in advance of it from constituents.

Defecate on my lawn, la la la la laaaaa
He's the man you love to hate, Fonz fans, but Mike Brenner helped found Milwaukee Artists Resource Network, once ran what was one of the best galleries this city has seen in a long time, and is one of the few people willing to throw himself in front of the train for public art.
