8 March 2019 Michael Salfino Can Mike Moustakas win a home run crown in Milwaukee? https://web.archive.org/web/20260708090139/https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/857212/2019/03/08/miller-time-mike-moustakas-has-major-power-potential-in-milwaukee/ Last year, hot off that success, I looked at the new lefty hitter in Milwaukee, Christian Yelich. Also, don’t forget how, in 1982, I projected Cecil Cooper to smash over 30 rockets in Brew City and he ended up with 32.

Perkins found that Section 8 households in Milwaukee are charged $51 to $68 more each month than renter households in comparable neighborhoods. That surcharge costs taxpayers an extra $3.8 million a year in the Brew City alone, money that could have provided an additional 620 families with shelter.
