OFFICIALS OF A TOURISM ENTITY in Milwaukee are still looking for a new president and CEO for Visit Wisconsin.

Visit Milwaukee’s top exec and Milwaukee attorney Frank Gimbel reportedly said seven candidates were interviewed.

“Some people fell out because of lack of interest or other things,” said Gimbel. “We didn’t want to be forced into taking table scraps.”
