The Milwaukee Tool deal went from controversial to quiet in a week. The Milwaukee Common Council unanimously approved a tax incremental financing package Tuesday morning that grants the company up to $20 million in exchange for bringing 2,000 jobs to the five-story office building at 501 W. Michigan St. None of the 15 members spoke about the deal, a stark change from the nearly four-hour public hearing the project was subject to last week before the Zoning, Neighborhoods & Development Committee.
