Snowmelt reveals a mess 2 years after Milwaukee littering fine increase
MILWAUKEE - Melting snowbanks have revealed an underlying layer of debris across the city and a man who works in Milwaukee says this isn't just a seasonal issue, and it's time to take action.
Tom Librera was born and raised in Milwaukee, left for his career, and came back to work in the inner city. Over the last year, he says that job has opened his eyes to the piles of trash, debris and even furniture lining Milwaukee's streets -- and he wants to do something about it.
As a heat wave rolls through, crushed cans, fast food waste and other trash has come out of hiding in Milwaukee. Librera takes notice every day.
