Add dorm rooms to the list of needs for Milwaukee’s Republican National Convention.
The city of Milwaukee is asking local colleges in and around the city to use their dorms next summer to house the thousands of police officers who will come to town for the convention. Milwaukee needs about 45 hundred dorm rooms, plus showers and an on-site cafeteria. The city needs thousands of police officers from all over the state to help protect the convention, or to deal with crowds. Local colleges and universities can make their pitch to the city until April 27th.
