Blowup over mental health issue cancels county meeting

A blowup between Milwaukee County supervisors Tuesday signaled an ongoing divide over how to reform the troubled Mental Health Complex and how quickly that can be done. A meeting of the County Board’s New Behavioral Health Facility Study Committee was abruptly called off after a shouting match between Supervisors Joe Sanfelippo and Lynne De Bruin from just outside the courthouse room where the panel was to meet. The committee clerk announced the meeting had been canceled, without further explanation. (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 7/13)
