Ordinans Lied

She admits what we all knew... they voted to loot the taxpayers to line the pockets of their friends and themselves and they did so with full knowledge. 

Former Milwaukee County Board Chairman Karen Ordinans admitted Thursday she learned the backdrop pension benefit was not cost neutral before voting for the 2000-’01 wage and benefit package for the county’s largest union.

Ordinans acknowledged she had previously said the opposite – in sworn depositions, pre-trial testimony and numerous media interviews.

“I wasn’t even thinking of that as a cost,” when asked the question earlier, Ordinans said in testimony in the Milwaukee County pension scandal trial.

She also said she didn’t recall telling other elected supervisors, before they voted, what she had learned from then-Human Resources Director Gary Dobbert, who had previously told her the backdrop would be cost neutral.
