Alderman Robert Bauman has proposed an alternative flag design for Milwaukee, incorporating an image of City Hall, in response to the Steering and Rules Committee's recent endorsement of the 'Sunrise Over the Lake' flag. Bauman argues that the current design lacks identifiable features associated with Milwaukee, stating his modified version retains the basic layout of the People's Flag while enhancing its connection to the city. The Steering and Rules Committee had voted 5-3 on September 9 to recommend the adoption of the 'Sunrise Over the Lake' flag, which has faced criticism for being outdated. Bauman's resolution will be discussed by the Common Council on September 24, adding to the ongoing debate about the city's identity and heritage as represented by its flag. The full council meeting will be streamed live, allowing public engagement in this civic discussion.
