A Milwaukee resident has publicly criticized the Wisconsin government for what he describes as an embarrassing level of incompetence across multiple agencies. The letter highlights several failures, including the Milwaukee County Transit System operating with a significant mid-year 2025 budget deficit that county supervisors only discovered through media reports.

Other failures cited include lapses in county employees' and retirees' health insurance coverage due to administrative oversights, and Milwaukee Public Schools overspending its budget before Superintendent Brenda Cassellius was aware. The letter also points to political dysfunction, noting that Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu was excluded from discussions between Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Governor Tony Evers, responding with an accusatory press release rather than direct communication.

The author suggests voters should start removing incumbents from office annually until officials demonstrate accountability. This criticism reflects broader concerns about government competence and oversight in Wisconsin's largest cities, where multiple agencies have experienced significant operational failures that impact public services and taxpayer confidence.
