Bucks president softens criticism of Milwaukee as 'racist'

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he's eager to work with Bucks president Peter Feigin to improve the city's race relations after the NBA executive last week called the city the "most segregated, racist place" he has seen. Barrett said that Feigin and the Bucks' ownership team "seem to be a willing partner" to address the racial disparities in the city of 600,000 along Lake Michigan, which a 2012 Manhattan Institute analysis of census data found is the country's most segregated metropolitan area, surpassing Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit. The deal is expected to apply to about 1,000 employees, including full- and part-time workers at the arena and the team's practice facility and parking garage.
