I see Mr. Walker is taking a Harley trip around the state and to Illinois
and Minnesota to promote Milwaukee County. Could you please tell me who is paying for the trip and how much it will cost? Does the Harley belong to Mr. Walker, the county, or to someone else? Is Mr. Walker borrowing it?

Please email me a public records request, and I will get that information for you. You will receive the information within ten days of receipt of the request.

As this is still being planned there really isn't any paperwork to give you just yet on this trip, so maybe I can answer a few questions for you. We are borrowing the Harley from a friend, the hotel arrangements are being taken care of by members of the GMCVB. As for food and gas, we have not put together a budget for it, but it should be minimal.

I hope this information helps.

Is GMCVB paying for the hotels, or just making reservations? If the
former, would the hotel stays be political contributions or a donation to the county? If the latter, who is paying? And who or what is picking up the rest of the costs, minimal or not?
