I tried calling for a week straight and nobody answers the phone. Typical city workers and expect nothing less from this dump of a City!

I have called or emailed every single day for the past two weeks to get guidance, not listed on their website or in Order 4 for Moving Milwaukee Forward Safely, so that I can reopen my small business. I have not received any help to my inquiry to date.

Called the hotline and the phone was answered by a lady named Erica. She was so calming. All my worries went away. She knew exactly what information I needed. Appreciated the experience to a rather stressful day.

When I went to this clinic, they couldn't find my appt as usual. They were a bit rude and treated me like a 2nd class citizen. I told the person I worked for the city and she acted as though I was homeless or something. I was expecting them to be a little more concerned about my health then fact checking everything I stated.
