I would suggest calling 278-PARK (7275) or emailing them through <a href="http://www.county.milwaukee.gov/ContactUs01121635.htm" rel="nofollow">this link</a>.

From what I read the trees that are cut down in our park system are sent to the Correctional Institute in Franklin where its cut into firewood. Thanks Michael Hello

You can also get in touch with the Hunger Task Force, who help pay for this vital service. Hi Ashlee,

I see the benefits of FFH everyday. I was wondering if there was a way you could get me more information on this topic. I would like to help save this program, however I honestly do not know where to start. Thank you, Ashlee Mr. Liebenthal,

It does go to show your true colors though. Corrina,

The FFH only uses three guards, and they would be easily abosrbed into regular HOC work, so it is not about union jobs. And while it is not a core service, it is also of negligible cost as that most, if not all, of the cost is either picked up by the money that the program saves the county, or by the contribution of the Hunger Task Force. You are advocating for ending a program that aids thousands of people for practically no savings to the taxpayer. There is no logic behind your vitriol. RD-

I mean, honest to god, you people are delusional?! Do you leftists think the county budget and system of government is efficient and not bloated? I challenge you to name one, JUST ONE, budget cut or savings measure and it relates to county services. Our do you statists actually believe the only problem with Milwaukee County government is the proposed cuts? I honestly don't know how people as clueless and intellectually immature make it through life without walking into walls. See you next time.

The fish hatchery must be cut! After all, it costs a whopping $285K to run. Who cares about the residual benefits of its operation. Give all the citizens of Milwaukee County the $.30 per year per person it costs to run it and surely we'd all be better off. Core services are necessary, but so are programs that benefit the core of the counties constituents. Signed, A non-tax loving, private sector citizen of Milwaukee County. Yes, oh wise RetireDoyle.

Stuff that works is stuff that we can keep. I have been out of work for a week or so. I think that just the whole business of getting up at the same time each day to go and work for the guards is valuable. A days work for a days pay is honest and valuable. Dave, from Milwaukee Hello
