Milwaukee's Future

Since this is my first posting I wanted to make it positive.  That is why i choose to look at the future of Milwaukee.  Milwaukee is blessed by the fact that as a community we are conservative. Not politically, but socially and economically.  That has its positive side as well as its negative side.  We are one of the most segregated cities in the United States.  That is the negative.  The positive is that the city did not try and re-make itself into some finical center or the newest high tech software capitol of the. galaxy.  We have maintained a much reduced but still relative strong heavy industrial base.  
With a shifting of the economy to a more sustainable economy Milwaukee should be ready to jump in.  Consider Johnson Controls.  They are working with car companies in designing batteries for the new hybrid cars and trucks.  Rockwell Industries another cutting edge industry.  Milwaukee is blessed with many companies that will be pivotal with bringing clean water to cities and towns around the world.
So I truly believe that Milwaukee has a great future.  
Wisconsin has a governor that believes in this city and we have a mayor who works hard for the city.  We do need to work on our school system but maybe we will discuss that some time in the future.
