    DISTRICT14 200 E. Wells St. | Milwaukee, WI 53202 | 286-3769 | www.milwaukee.gov/district14 | www.facebook.com/aldermantony.zielinski | [email protected] FALL 15 Dear Neighbors, I am excited to detail in this newsletter a number of new and exciting initiatives for our area. The initiatives run the gamut from the environmentally friendly, first-ever curbside compost pickup pilot program, to a skate board park, a micro hotel, new businesses and measures to protect our pets. In addition, I am very excited about our police department getting body worn cameras. Not only will this provide more transparency with community interaction, but it will also save taxpayer dollars by discouraging frivolous and potentially costly lawsuits. Pedestrian safety is another important area where new initiatives have Alderman Zielinski joined in the spirit of fun with some advanced, and I’ve included information about a few of these important participants at the Ohio Park Neighborhood Association’s annual Halloween costume contest. projects in this newsletter. Finally, I voted for the upcoming 2016 city budget because it provides for a zero property tax levy increase. It is critical that we are frugal and efficient with hard-earned taxpayer dollars. It should also be noted that all of these new, multi-million dollar developments are expanding our tax base, thereby helping to reduce the tax burden on everyone. I want to remind everyone that my most important job is to be responsive to your wants, needs, and concerns. Please do not hesitate to call me at 286-2873 or email me [email protected] if you feel I can be of service.
