Reporter's Investigation Raising Question Regarding Money Intended for Waukesha Christmas Parade Victims

Monday, February 28th, 2022 -- 11:00 AM

(Terry Bell) A local reporter’s investigation is raising questions about where all of the money donated for Waukesha Christmas Parade attack victims is going.

Fox-Six News in Milwaukee reports some of the five-point-seven million-dollars raised for parade victims could go to local non-profits instead. Anita Busch with the group Victims First says people hurt in the attack should get 100-percent of the money.

The local United Way, which is seeking some of the money, has a person on the board who will help decide where donations are sent. Busch says that’s a conflict of interest. The United for Waukesha Community Fund is accepting applications for the money until Monday.

Then it will send checks in about two weeks.
