LICENSE-gate
CODE OF CONDUCT of Class B License
LICENSE-gate in the city of Milwaukee
LICENSE-gate is a term Mary Glass, Chair/CEO/CVO, Milwaukee Professionals
Association LLC has given to her recent discoveries of Code of Conduct and
unacceptable behavior
by elected-appointed-hired-volunteered and
Many of the trends and wrongful behavior in License-gate were provided for the
city of Milwaukee in the 2008-2009 Recommendations by the BOARD OF
ALCOHOL BEVERAGE LICENSING TASK FORCE.
Members of the 15th District are baffle by Alderman Stampers bizarre and
ruthless behavior. The People are behind MC COLE and his right to open since he
is in FULL COMPLIANCE, tavern and restaurant seen as benefit and desired for
neighborhood; and, MC COLE has shown good faith in putting his $$$money
where his commitment is.
Arbitrary and capricious delay by Alderman Russell Stamper II, 15th District that
include non-response from his office (over 3 weeks of calls from MC COLE), BIAS
selection of Donald Lewis, Urban Caf13 rather than MC COLE, failure to inform
MC COLE of YMCA-CDC second neighborhood meeting on October 18, 2014.
Since placing MC COLE Class B application on HOLD, Alderman Stamper
informed MC COLE of YMCA-CDC November 15, 2014, but Stamper and assistant
failed to show-up MC COLE was not on the Agenda. Stamper has yet to explain
to MC COLE his NO SHOW. The November 15, 2014 NO SHOW is added to his
on/off scheduling Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8, 2014 but Stamper
failed to SHOW-up.
Lack of oversight for due diligence by members of the License Committee for due
process of MC COLEs application as well as the bartering/coercing of
Alderman Stamper in committee for approving Donald Lewis, Urban Caf14
Cypress and Fond du Lac Avenue means they are complicit to his wrongdoings.
Arbitrary and capricious censure by Alderman Russell Stamper II revealed
complicit behavior frowned upon by law and Ethics. The Common Council has yet
to act.
Arbitrary and capricious censure, discrimination, divisiveness and bias behavior by
mayor Barrett appointees of BID 3215 while they take assessed taxes for BID 32
from MC COLE automatic assessment is reprehensible. Non-profit neighborhood
organizations with partners under the umbrella of Walnut Way and YMCA-CDC,
without cause, without authorization, have violated civil-legal-human rights of MC
COLE with behind the scenes social influencing and social engineering
BLOCKING that do not support 501 (3) status and their stated Mission to the
public.
Social Influence
Social influence occurs when one's emotions, opinions, or behaviors are
affected by others. Social influence takes many forms and can be seen in
conformity, socialization, peer pressure, obedience, leadership, persuasion,
sales and marketing.
Whereas, the identifiers for this report are primarily from District 15, the overall
License-gate is about the entire city of Milwaukee process and procedures for a
Class B license New and Renewal.
The focus is on the Ethical behavior, Oath of Office and breach of PUBLIC TRUST.
PURPOSE
Reporting of License-gate is to:
1. Draw attention to and to eradicate behavior that promotes breach of
public trust, unethical behavior and disguises it Code of Conduct as best
practices for the city of Milwaukee doing business with its
taxpayers/stakeholders.
The Class B license generates over a $$million dollars in revenue per year.
The businesses, business owners, investors, property owners, restaurant
owners and tavern owners deserve a process that is fair, informative,
collaborative, customer-friendly, inclusive and accessible with quick
turnaround.
2. To document the formation of MPA LLC Vetted Business Coalition20
League of Milwaukee Tavern Owners & Alcohol Licensees, a newly
created membership organization to share industry, legislative and
marketplace information and engagements to create a VOICE for the
Hospitality industry in Urban Milwaukee w/Class B license.
3. To call for oversight and accountability by the Common Council of its
members per 4-05. Conduct of Common Council Business (1-6), ESPECIALLY
4a and 4c21.
The common council shall be the judge of the election and qualification of
its own members, and may:
a. Punish its members or other persons present, by fine, for disorderly
behavior.
b. Compel the attendance of its members upon its sessions, and employ the
police of the city for that purpose.
c. Fine or expel any member for neglecting his or her duty as such member,
or for unnecessary absence from the sessions of the council.

Alderman Stamper and his assistant have failed repeatedly to provide contact,
information and follow-thru of appropriate behavior consistent with the Oath of
his office for Alderman of the 15th District and as a member of the License
Committee.
The bizarre behavior of Alderman Russell Stamper II includes:
Failure to respond to MC COLE calls to his office for information before
October 20, 2014 License Committee Meeting (over 3 weeks in a row).
Failure to notify MC COLE of October 18, 2014 meeting at YMCA-CDC.
Alderman Stamper pulled Donald Lewis, Urban Caf to the side and told
him about the meeting October 18, 2014 but did not tell or inform MC
COLE. MC COLE was cited for non-attendance.
Alderman visited BID #32 August, 2014 meeting with Urban Caf and St.
Ann on the Agenda as support items. MC COLE was not on the agenda.
His refusal to meet with MC COLE Hammers Den, on-off promised
meetings with MC COLE.
Discrimination of Hammers Den application vs Urban Caf Class B
application.
Recently asking MC COLE to open a Soul Food restaurant rather than a
tavern after he has worked for over a year for FULL COMPLIANCE for his
Class B license - invested over $88,000 in purchase and repairs, $7,000 in
2013-2014 city taxes, $1,100 for Class B license application with the
minimum potential of 6 full-time position for the opening of Hammers
Den.
Telling MC COLE to be present on Saturday, November 15, 2014 for YMCACDC meeting Stamper does not show up, nor his assistant. MC COLE
was not on the Agenda.
Stamper has not contacted MC COLE to address his failure to show up or his
assistant at the YMCA-CDC, November 15, 2014 meeting.
Stamper has used Johnson Park and potential $3 million investment as the
reason for HOLD on and failure to approve the Class B license for MC
COLE. Since any government funding for Johnson Park would mostly like
include taxation of MC COLE, his assertion is ludicrous.
15
Ald. Stamper has been discovered to have engaged in Ethics violations Conflict of Interest with Sharon Adams Walnut Way, Sharon Adams - BID
32, Virginia Dupriest YMCA-CDC and others to BLOCK MC COLE
application.
MC COLE was attacked by the people around the table on October 10, 2014,
Walnut Way, 1836 W. Fond du Lac Avenue. Ald. Russell Stamper was
present and discoveries show he has been complicit with actions
contrary to his Oath of Office as a charter officer of the city of Milwaukee.
On November 24, 2014, we learned that 3 cycles have been willfully
bypassed by Alderman Russell Stamper II. Perhaps he thinks this is the way
the people will allow his leadership and stewardship to remain going
forward.
This is not the way District 15 will grow.
License-gate starts with local in-house investigation while asking federal DOJ and
federal funding source to weigh in.
All the while, the charter officers have been complicit since they have been sent
documented accounts and have been sought for assistance office of the
Common Council President Michael Murphy office of the mayor. No response.
