Top fire and police commission members resigning

Milwaukee Fire and Police Commissioners Amanda Avalos and Ed Fallone announced Thursday they are resigning from the FPC in protest of a condition of the city of Milwaukee's approval of the 2023 shared revenue plan. That plan, referred to in the commissioners' statement as Act 12, gives more authority to the Chiefs of Milwaukee Police and Milwaukee Fire Departments and takes it away from the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission. The FPC is known as one of the strongest and oldest civilian oversight boards in the country.
