How disappointing that the City of Wauwatosa finds it hard to squeeze $5k to help people who are struggling with medical debt because it's not "in their lane". How wonderful that our principled and wise mayor cast the deciding vote to thwart passage of this commitment. So proud that they put legalism over humanity to ensure that we "stay in our lane". I see a lot of pettiness in all of the discussions reported on. Thank you for your report.

*The $5,000 the council debated was unused funds from the 2022 Common Council Development Funds (council members' training and conferences). This $5,000 was never budgeted for city operations or procurement. The $5,000 will now roll into the 2023 surplus.

Thank you for covering.
