MILWAUKEE --- Milwaukee County Treasurer Dan Diliberti says he has $2 million in unclaimed funds that belong to residents.

Diliberti is seeking county residents help in finding the rightful owners of the money.

“The Treasurer’s Office has the job of finding the rightful owners and getting the money back to
them,” Diliberti explained. “The $2 million in unclaimed funds is a lot of money, and it belongs to
the people who, in these difficult times, could use the money to help make ends meet."
