Perspective by Dan O’Donnell
To hear Milwaukee City Attorney Tearman Spencer tell it, he’s just a cheerful, friendly guy. He readily admits to calling female employees “sweetheart” and “dear,” complimenting them on their looks, and asking about their families. Sure, he’s a little old fashioned, but really, what’s the harm in that?
A Department of Employee Relations investigation into his conduct, though, has determined that he has been harassing subordinates since the moment he took office after being elected last April.
“At least six employees have individually complained about Mr. Spencer, and there are several others who have witnessed the behavior,” investigator Katherine M. Holiday determined. “Among such concerns are several incidents of potentially offensive/discriminatory verbal comments and behavior, as well as one incident of unwelcome physical contact with a female colleague.”

A pub on Blue Mound Road is changing ownership after several decades.
Magoo’s will offer local craft beers on tap and pub food like burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads. Specials like wings on Wednesdays and fish fries on Friday will be held every night of the week.
Zierath says he wants to replace the building attached to the back of the property and convert it into an outdoor space for patrons.
