The backstory:
Carr resigned from the Milwaukee Board of School Directors in May 2024. Prosecutors were investigating her at that time for possible misconduct in office that seemed to center on where she lived.
The next month, Carr was formally charged with two felonies: misconduct in office and theft (false representation). That case was one of two that was later dismissed but read into a third case.
Milwaukee Common Council president ethics concern over license approval
Did a Milwaukee Alderman break the law when he voted to approve a license for a business that rents from him? The head of the Common Council admits it was an "unintentional oversight."
Prosecutors accused Carr of breaking laws about food stamps and campaign finance reports, as well as misrepresenting whether she was really living in the MPS district she represented on the school board.
In that third case filed against her, Carr was charged with 11 total felonies. She pleaded guilty to one felony in December, and the rest of the charges were ultimately dismissed.
