MILWAUKEE -- The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) released the following statement from Andrew Davis, Vice President of Government Affairs for MMAC regarding Gov. Evers plan to keep the MLB in Milwaukee: “MMAC helped lead the effort to pass legislation and secure the follow-on funding to build (then) Miller Park. Our goal was to sustain the asset of Major League Baseball for greater Milwaukee and Wisconsin. That success has led to twenty plus years of marquee publicity, fan enjoyment, and economic impact. We appreciate the Governor’s leadership to find a path forward to extend the current lease until 2043. We look forward to working with the Legislature and Governor as this proposal takes shape.” Andrew Davis - VP, Government Affairs for MMAC View the Governor's press release: Gov.

MILWAUKEE -- The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) released the following statement from President Tim Sheehy upon the retirement of state Senator Alberta Darling (R – River Hills):
“I want to congratulate Senator Darling on such an impactful 32 years of public service for the people of Wisconsin and especially Milwaukee. The Wisconsin state legislature is losing a true leader and the community is losing one of its strongest pro-Milwaukee advocates. As one of the original authors of the nation’s first school choice program, her legacy will carry on and her impact will be felt for many more decades to come. She always fought for children and empowered parents. She consistently advocated for her constituents and led on so many issues that bettered the lives of so many. Alberta will be greatly missed and we congratulate her on a well-earned retirement.” In the November edition of MMAC's Business of Metro MKE webinar, we heard from Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman and Medical College of Wisconsin President and CEO Dr. John Raymond. A replay of this webinar will be available on MMAC's YouTube channel. To download a copy of Dr. Raymond's presentation, click below:
