Executive Mayor Peter, Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway and County Executive Scott Walker signed the historic Sister Cities agreement at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on Monday, January 28 with the hope that it will allow the linked regions to share information, skills and experience useful in improving the quality of life of their inhabitants. According to Milwaukee County Supervisor Mayo, "It is truly a win-win [situation] for [our] residents.” He added, “One of the most important aspects of this relationship is developing an international health initiative.
