Examples of Milwaukee in a Sentence

1. Andy Boxell:

   As far as making up the deficit in Milwaukee, a few inches are possible Saturday night and Sunday morning, monday's system may also bring some snow, though for now it appears that the heavier amounts will be closer to the Chicago area. At this point, we will likely need multiple systems in fairly short order to make up the difference.

2. Milwaukee Alderman Robert G. Donovan:

   It would be easy enough to dismiss ill-written, juvenile nonsense like this were it not for his role in teaching our city's young people, he is supposed to be an example of the inclusive, tolerant, and respectful spirit of Milwaukee Public Schools. He is clearly nothing of the sort. And he did not make his remarks in private. He made them on one of the most public of platforms where any of his students could easily have seen them.

3. Robert Donovan:

   There are certainly any number of things that may divide the city of Milwaukee and its citizens, but this (referendum campaign) quite possibly could be the one issue that brings us together, this is not a one-man show, not a two-man show, with me and Alderman Davis. This is a community effort, and I am pleased that this coalition is coming together to hopefully restore some common sense to decision-making in Milwaukee.

4. Melissa Ugland:

   This is an epidemic people are not talking about enough, and Milwaukee Public Schoolsstudents leads to people taking unnecessary risks.

5. Julia Griffith:

   It's not a spooky theme but they act as the various movers and shakers of Milwaukee who are buried there.
