Founding Fathers were against Milwaukee County reform part 2, other historical figures weigh in on Milwaukee County Board

The Founding Fathers would have sided with the Milwaukee County Board argument is back in this mornings paper. I had a few comments when this line of argument first came up last month (Despite plea from County Supervisors, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson might not agree with Milwaukee County Board governance) so I won't be repeating what I had to say back then.

However, I will pass along some famous quotes I posted on Twitter today from other historical figures who also were staunch opponents of Milwaukee County reforms, just like our founding fathers apparently were. Who knew!? Happy Friday!
