As folks here trying are to regain a sense of normalcy, this vibrant blockade is a reminder that authorities are still on alert. Its sad actually disheartened that an entire neighborhood is suffering from the actions of a few. Gwendolyn murphy is one of several residents who believes the early closing of sherman park is doing more harm than good. I think its bad for the little kids ever since violence surrounded sherman park last week the Milwaukee CountySheriffs Office ordered it to be closed to the public at 6 00 p. M and reopen at 6 00 a. M. I think 6oclock is a little too early for anything to be closed. I think maybe they are still looking for a place to play. I like coming to the park because there are lot of jungle gyms here i feel sad because tis really fun here shortened hours also cut into leisure time for many who need a refuge in walking distance. You used to be able to come and sit out and get a cool breeze the kids could play on the swings and go down the slides you are not able to do that now. Josephine boggan says while she is disappointed by the decision of the early closure, she understands and hopes families use that time constructively. I think its a good thing because. Its getting kids and parents time to spend with their kids and let them understand unrest that been going on here. Deputies remained visible thr presence wont always be needed.

The average family received 50 pounds of food today. Sherman park residents are asking where are the jobs . If you looked at one state website it would appear the state has helped bring hundreds of new jobs in. But the companies arent located in sherman park. Political reporter at sherman and meinecke. We have deception and we have lies after the unrest nearby, activists direct their anger at the Wisconsin Economic Development corporation. On the agencys website, a map shows where companies have created jobs with state tax credits. It shows three such companies in the sherman park neighborhood. But none of them actually exist there. Ones on the far northwest side, one has offices downtown, and ones located in hartland. Theyre promoting is just wrong. Its not created jobs in this neighborhood at all a wedc spokesman blamed it on a mapping error. When a companys physical address cannot be precisely plotted, the mapping system generates an approximate location. But he said the activists larger claims of deception false and misleading. Saying wedc has never claimed to have created a specific number of jobs in sherman park. A day earlier, Governor Scott walker was taking wedc at its word about job creation. I think thats other groups trying to create trouble where there isnt ive said, the number one issue in sherman park for Economic Development is workforce democrats and activists say its a lack of opportunities, and they want the state to do more. So whether the wedc website gets fixed doesnt matter. Wedc says it has helped bring hundreds of new jobs to other parts of the central city. As for the three companies in this story wedc says merge healthcare has deliv expected jobs in hartland. Saelens corporation has created two thirds of the planned jobs on the northwest side. Wedc wants more than 600thousand dollars back from the third firm, novation companies, after it sold its downtown office.
