The Social Development Commission has lost three more commissioners in the past week, leaving the agency with just four remaining commissioners. 

The latest board members to resign include: Marjorie Rucker, the appointed commissioner for the African American Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin; Donna Brown-Martin, appointed by Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s office; and Patricia Nájera, who represented Milwaukee Area Technical College; according to William Sulton, SDC’s attorney.

“I think all the board members feel very overwhelmed,” Sulton said. 

Their resignations come on the heels of former board chair Barbara Toles’ departure after attending a virtual board meeting on Oct. 23. 

Since the anti-poverty agency suspended operations and laid off employees six months ago, the SDC’s board has been meeting regularly to figure out a path forward. 

Reappointments remain uncertain

Brown-Martin’s term on the SDC board officially ended on Oct. 1, but she continued to attend meetings until she left the board on Oct. 31. 

“There was some discussion about whether the County Exec’s office could simply reappoint her because she had historical knowledge (rather) than having someone else come in,” Sulton said. 

After reviewing the SDC’s bylaws, county officials decided they could not reappoint Brown-Martin, Sulton said. 

Milwaukee County will defer replacing Brown-Martin’s seat on the board until it receives clearer information about the agency’s path forward, according to an email Brown-Martin sent to Sulton and SDC interim CEO Vincent Bobot. 

However, Brown-Martin will continue to volunteer with SDC, according to Sulton.  

“I think we are fortunate to have former board members and community members who are stepping up,” Sulton said.

Resignations leave more vacancies

Rucker resigned Monday and did not give a reason, Sulton said. 

Nájera submitted a resignation letter on Friday. In her letter, she said she was grateful for the opportunity to work with an organization that had a long history of positively impacting Milwaukee residents. 

“Essentially, she does not feel like the commission is actively operating,” Sulton said. 

NNS tried to contact Rucker, Brown-Martin, Nájera and Bobot for comment, but did not receive responses as of Wednesday night. 

The board now consists of Bobot, who is also an elected commissioner; Jorge Franco, of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin; Jackie Carter, of Port Milwaukee; and Matthew Boswell, who was appointed by Milwaukee Public Schools. 

Carter is the newest commissioner and was appointed to the board by Mayor Cavalier Johnson in June. 

Boswell’s term is set to expire on Nov. 18, Sulton said.

How the Social Development Commission failed its Milwaukee residents

Why did the Social Development Commission fail? Here are takeaways from our investigation

The Milwaukee Bucks are off to one of the worst starts they have had in over a decade. Through seven games, they sit with a disastrous 1-6 record and are currently on a six-game losing streak. 

The Bucks look like a lost bunch out there—not only that, but they are an old bunch as well. Although they possess the talents of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, those two are still not enough, at least, to start the season. 

Things are not trending in the right direction, and because of that, the Bucks have fallen to near the bottom half of many NBA rankings, including the New York Times. The New York Times dropped the Bucks from 15 to 26 in week three of the rankings. 

“The Bucks have the longest losing streak in the league right now at six games. It’s the first time in 10 seasons that Milwaukee has had a stretch like this. Sure, the losses to the Cavaliers came down to the wire. But that was after getting pasted in Memphis with two days off against a team that was playing the second night of a back-to-back. Yes, Khris Middleton is missed. But the Bucks bench has been awful defensively.”

The Bucks also fell from 19 to 26 in the NBA.com power rankings. 

“The Bucks almost beat Cleveland on Saturday in what was their first clutch game of the season, but couldn’t get the stop they needed in the final seconds and are 1-6 (or worse) for the first time in 24 years.” 

And for Hoos Hype, the Bucks see themselves at No. 25 on this week’s power rankings. 

“Despite another ho-hum otherworldly performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo and a strong offensive start from Damian Lillard, the Milwaukee Bucks are just 1-5. A major culprit: opponents are dominating the possession game.”

“The Bucks are the league’s worst offensive-rebounding team and second-worst at creating turnovers. In total, foes average 90.8 shots per game compared to Milwaukee’s 26th-ranked 85.7. It’s hard to make up a differential that big, even with stars of this caliber.”

“Frankly, a lot is happening in Milwaukee, and little is good. Their ranking when we return in two weeks might be the most important story of the early season, because if they’re still bottom-feeding like Mississippi River catfish, the Giannis trade rumors will become deafening.”

The Bucks’ hope seems dim right now, but if they can get healthy, they may climb their way up slowly. As things stand, however, the Bucks are a hot mess.
