AFTER FIVE PARAGRAPHS OF LEGAL GOBBLEDYGOOK, IN WHICH HE
SEEMS TO BE SAYING THAT HE CAN'T REALLY BE POSITIVE OF ANYTHING,
THE CITY ATTORNEY CONCLUDES WITH THIS:

"IF THE COMMON COUNCIL WERE DESIROUS OF ENACTING THE
PROPOSED ORDINANCE OR AN ORDINANCE CONTAINING SIMILAR PROVISIONS,
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE COMMON COUNCIL REQUEST THE LEGISLATURE TO
AMEND THE PRESENT PROVISIONS OF SECTION 101.60 OF THE WISCONSIN
STATUTES (THE STATE FAIR HOUSING LAW) TO INCLUDE AUTHORIZATION
TO MUNICIPALITIES, SUCH AS OURS, TO INCORPORATE PROVISIONS SUCH
AS THOSE CONTAINED IN THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE. WITH SUCH SPECIFIC
IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 101.60, WE WOULD BE PREPARED TO STATE
THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE."

IN OTHER WORDS, HE IS SAYING: "GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMON
COUNCIL, IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN PASS A FAIR HOUSING ORDINANCE."

NOW IT WILL BE UP TO US TO CONVINCE THE GENTLEMEN OF THE
COMMON COUNCIL TO PASS THE ORDINANCE -- NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO,
BUT BECAUSE MILWAUKEE NEEDS and ought TO HAVE A FAIR HOUSING ORDINANCE. law

Again - Please Remember DON'T FORGET TO COME TO THE PUBLIC HEARING -- MONDAY,
JUNE 12TH, AT 2 P.M. THAT IS ALL it FOR TODAY. GOODBYE FOR NOW, AND
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
