MILWAUKEE, WI - Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association, is seeking the Investigation of the United States Office of Justice. The request/ask was sent to U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States on Tuesday, February 28, 2012.
According to Glass, "The level of arbitrary and capricious lawlessness has reached a Homeland Security level for the city of Milwaukee, figurative and substantive - lack of due process of the People (especially African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenge*) continue to increase "by-design" with little to NO concern for rights and privileges afforded through our U.S. Constitution, local-state-federal statutes, Oath of office, job responsibility and increasing Enduring Concentrated Poverty.""The 'by-design' decades of racial disparities are disregarded and often used to victimize the People "trapped" by the system. It is also used to get MORE AND MORE federal funding to be distributed in a "miscellaneous and self-serving" fashion; not as intended - no enforcement."
"The visual discriminatory documentations are over decades of disparities - Kerner Commission (1964), 2008 Federal Reserve and Brookings Institution case study naming Milwaukee as one of 16 Enduring Concentrated Poverty in America, Marc Levine, University of Wisconsin, recent 2010 African American male labor market meltdown, countless reports annually of racial disparity from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to Bloomberg and other journalists of the deplorable and out-of-control racial disparities in the city of Milwaukee."
"The Code of Conduct of elected/appointed/hired/volunteered/donor for hire leaders and/or representatives that request, receive and spend federal funding which is to support/reform/change and administration of the People's business include:
-- appearance of conflict of interest, QUID PRO QUO and conflict of interest
-- arrogance and disregard of reference of breaking the law and/or violation through DISCRIMINATION
-- bait-n-switch mitigations
-- breach of trust
-- cronyism
-- distortions, misrepresentation and cover-ups of the truth
-- exploitation
-- greed and predatory behavior
-- misuse of power
-- refusal to provide public information
-- removal/stealing of research information, Mary Glass
-- wrongful arrest, Mary Glass
-- on and on."
A Homeland Security level for the sustainability of the city of Milwaukee is figurative and substantive.
Glass is asking that the U. S. Department of Justice start with the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and the cross-ties of private-public-donor for hire practices. The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee has a infrastructure and systemic culture that breed "exclusion" and creates "privilege". They conveniently forget and/or disregard the urban Mission - the reason for the creation of UW-Milwaukee - to empower Milwaukee, its namesake (except when the leaders seek massive federal funding based on the population of Milwaukee). State statute 36.01(2) is the basic law for higher education in the state of Wisconsin. Again, disregard.
In 2010-2011, major errors and violations were made by the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents and the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee staff. However, even though questions were asked, recommendations were made, public information requested, state leaders contacted (Governor Walker, WI Board of Accountability, State Attorney General JB Van Hollen, senate and assembly leaders and on and on), the practices have gone uninvestigated and resolved. In the meantime, it is business as usual but on a larger scale. Enough already.
It is not an accident that People of Color of Milwaukee are almost non-existent in its hiring practices (student and staff), partnerships (businesses and neighborhood volunteer organizations) and procurement contracts.
The widespread DISCRIMINATION of Milwaukeeans, especially African American, other People of Color and the Work-Challenged is seen as OK.
The wrongful acts are across lines, quality-of-life, economic development, law enforcement, education and technology attainment, water related, racial-gender-class and controlled by elected/appointed/hired/volunteer and donor for hire** offices and board rooms. It is public-private-non-government-non-profit lawlessness.
On March 26, 2011, Mary Glass delivered to Wisconsin State Attorney General JB Van Hollen some findings/research related to wrongdoings and multiple ties of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents and the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee staff and culture. She asked his office to "investigate" and provide due process. His office response basically said their hands were tied - they represented those my office had a complaint about.
Before and since then, I have repeatedly contacted Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin Government of Accountability Board, Wisconsin SENATE and ASSEMBLY Leaders Michael Ellis(R) - President, Joe Leibham(R) - President Pro Tempore, Scott Fitzgerald(R) - Leader, Glenn Grothman(R) - Assistant Leader, Mark Miller(D) - Leader, David Hansen(D) - Assistant Leader, ASSEMBLY Jeff Fitzgerald(R) - Speaker, Bill Kramer(R) - Speaker Pro Tempore, Scott Suder(R) - Leader, Peter Barca(D) - Leader, Dan Knodl(R) - Assistant Leader, Donna Seidel(D) - Assistant Leader, Milwaukee State Delegation, other state and local legislators, Mayor Tom Barrett, and others in a leadership position; they have failed to respond and in fact, have not return even a "civility response".This includes the recent Request by Glass to Governor Scott Walker, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, Mayor Tom Barrett, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and University of Wisconsin Board of Regents for return of removed/stolen property of Mary Glass during a suspicious Arrest Warrant by UW-Milwaukee Campus Police, Milwaukee Police Department and Milwaukee County Sheriff Department on February 15-16, 2012. NO RESPONSE.

Homeland Security in Milwaukee level
The widespread disrespect and failure to provide due process requires a serious and honest federal investigation to STOP the hog-wild activity that has reached homeland security in Milwaukee levels.
It is to re-define, re-brand and un-trap Milwaukeeans. It is to allow the pursuit of happiness, opportunities to be self-sustaining and to create a more perfect union.

** Donor for hire is the name given to those wealthy and powerful philanthropic leaders and organizations that are involved at some level with elected/appointed and private real estate barons, University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Milwaukee 7, Greater Milwaukee Committee, Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation, Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce, Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee Area Technical College and other individuals in a business for profit mode - the appearance of receiving without the authorization of the people and often making decisions on behalf of the people; i.e., federal U.
