Five County Supervisors Call For Marina Dimitrijevic's Resignation

Angered over allegations that Milwaukee County Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic has been illegally negotiating with county employees, several county board members want her to resign as chair.

Another Milwaukee County board member has stepped forward in asking for Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic's resignation, according to Patch's media partners at WISN 12 News.

I just want to add that it is important to note that there will be as qualified concerned and perhaps more honest candidates with integrity stepping up to the plate as candidates regardless of pay.
