Marina Dimitrijevic

Editor’s note: Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic testified today before the Assembly Committee on Government Operations and State Licensing in Madison. The following are her prepared remarks.

Milwaukee County plays a significant role in economic development locally and regionally, and Milwaukee County government needs to do its part.

It has been a pleasure to serve as Chairwoman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors for these past 100 days. Working collaboratively and with a spirit of unity, the County Board has made notable progress in a number of areas. We have heard your desire for Milwaukee County to create jobs, pay down debt, increase transparency and enhance cooperation with the County Executive and our 19 municipalities.
