Take a look at the rundown of topics covered in this mornings "State of the City" address..

I'm still reading through these but there's one thing that jumps out to me...The streetcar is going to cost something like 60million no matter what...more if we are saddled with moving utilities. Just last week, Barrett promoted his solution for the "Bloomberg Mayor Challenge", urban farms, which, if chosen, would bring 5 million to the city to enact these changes. These changes, according to Barrett, would greatly affect and benefit the city....
If $5 million from a contest can change the city so much, why are we spending upwards of $60 million on a streetcar that doesn't touch the large majority of Milwaukee businesses?
