MILWAUKEE- Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic is reacting to the jury's verdict finding former Milwaukee County Supervisor Johnny Thomas not guilty on bribery and misconduct charges.

"The people of the jury have spoken with their swift deliberation and decision. I wish Johnny Thomas and his family well.

"I look forward to working cooperatively and truthfully with the Administration, as we move beyond this trial, which has strained relations between the Executive and Legislative branches.

"The citizens of Milwaukee County look to the people at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to administer justice.  As Chairwoman, I support transparency and integrity in all Milwaukee County government operations."

Johnny Thomas was running for Milwaukee city comptroller, but abandoned the campaign after he was charged with two felonies in the bribery case.
