Eau Claire’s city council vice president is optimistic that the state may send cities more money in the new state budget.
Vice President Emily Berge said during her State of The City speech on Friday that both Republican lawmakers and Governor Tony Evers are talking about sending more shared revenue to local governments. No one knows just how much will be coming from Madison, but Berge says it will help. The talk of more state money comes as city leaders are looking at creating a 25 dollar wheel tax. They will talk about that tax at tomorrow night’s meeting.
