VIDEO: Milwaukee is currently projecting a loss of 84 police officers and 75 firefighters under next years budget. But, they say they are actively working to reduce both of those numbers. Residents are invited to the city municipal building to go over the situation during a public budget hearing. Estimates show that the loss could reduce the fire department to meeting mandated response times 90% of the time. It's currently 98% in the city.
