“We agreed this past spring that we should be held accountable, like our city worker colleagues, to the city’s harassment policy,” said Alderwoman
JoCasta Zamarripa at a Monday afternoon meeting of the Common Council’s Judiciary & Legislation Committee.
Turns out that’s simple in theory, complicated in reality.
A proposal, sponsored by Zamarripa and Alderman
Michael Murphy, would allow elected and appointed officials to be removed from office by a simple majority vote of council members for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, official misconduct or malfeasance.” Officials currently can only be removed for malfeasance.

The Milwaukee Common Council has adopted a resolution aimed at eventually making sure that all city elected officials are governed by policies regulating sexual harassment and other forms of intimidation. But prior to that unanimous vote Tuesday, there was controversy.

The Department of Employee Relations was looking into allegations that Spencer harassed female staffers allegations the city attorney, who is Black, has denied.
