A 2.4 municipal tax increase is proposed. Flat state aid and paying for road reconstruction and sewer projects are partially responsible for the levy increase, which officials say they attempted to keep within the rate of inflation.
Owners of a $300,000 home would pay an extra $50 on the municipal portion of their tax bill based on the village's early budget projections. This year, officials are looking at flat state aid and to either maintain or exceed service levels for village programs. Workshops focusing on department budgets will continue throughout the month until the Village Board will vote to adopt an annual financial roadmap Oct. 22. Shorewood anticipates an increase in the tax levy of $245,888 — 2.4 percent. Officials said they attempted to keep the levy within the rate of inflation. Among the more significant expenditures in the budget is $700,000 in funding for road reconstruction and maintenance, and $600,000 for storm water improvements. Shorewood has …

The winner will take on Walker on June 5. Barrett …

The congressman and other elected officials from southeastern Wisconsin meet with business leaders to talk about getting America back to work.

James Sensenbrenner. Sensenbrenner and several Republican state lawmakers who represent southeastern Wisconsin spent most of the hour-long session at the congressman's office listening to suggestions for growing business in the nation and region. The overall message was clear: lower corporate taxes; ease government regulations; get tough on illegal immigration while expanding the number of visas; change the college-focused culture; and reduce unemployment benefits.

Spending plan will help improve the economy while continuing to address state's ongoing needs.
The Kaukauna School District recently announced that our reforms will allow them to add more teachers, reduce class sizes and set funds aside to reward excellent teachers next school year. This is a prime example of how our budget and budget reforms protect middle class jobs and property taxpayers – as well as future generations. The 2011-13 state budget I recently signed transformed a $3.6 billion deficit into a surplus, it caps property taxes and it provides support for basic safety net programs to protect seniors and needy families. It does what we said we would do to get this state working again. The balanced budget is built on our reforms that give schools and local governments the tools to balance their own budgets and protect …
