Forum Will Discuss 'Lessons Learned From Oak Creek'
Mayor, police chief and fire chief will participate in a discussion on Aug. 28 about the response to the Sikh Temple shootings.
The Milwaukee Press Club will host a panel discussion later this month on the response to the Sikh Temple shootings and emergency preparedness for the community.
The discussion, called "Lessons Learned From Oak Creek," will feature Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi, Police Chief John Edwards and Fire Chief Tom Rosandich. They will talk about what worked, what didn't work and answer questions from a panel of journalists.
The event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Oak Creek Community Center, 8580 S. Howell Ave. Steve Jagler, executive editor of BizTimes Milwaukee and an Oak Creek native and resident, will moderate the forum.
The cost to attend is $20 for Milwaukee Press Club members and $25 for non-members. To register, visit the Milwaukee Press Club website. Seating is limited, and advanced registration is required.
The forum is part of the Milwaukee Press Club's Newsmaker Luncheon series.

What a bunch of B.S. The mucky mucks getting together to discuss what a great job they did and pat each other on the back. I note no Sikh is on the panel. No meetings for the general public. Sweep the incident under the rug, let it die is my impression. Oh, they have to wait for the investigation to be completed. More hot air. Lots can and should be done now to raise community awareness.
