Description

It’s local budget season again, and Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee are finalizing budgets. While the Mayor’s proposed budget for the city escapes major cuts to services, Milwaukee County’s budget includes cuts to MCTS, rising public safety and building maintenance costs, and increased property tax rates. 

Rob Henken, immediate past president of the Wisconsin Policy Forum joins Lake Effect’s Sam Woods to discuss both budgets, with a focus on Milwaukee County.
