The people who represent local governments at the Wisconsin Capitol are happy with the deal that will bring them a half-a-billion dollars.
The League of Wisconsin Municipalities, the Wisconsin Counties Association, and the Wisconsin Towns Association on Friday all sang the praises of the shared revenue agreement at the statehouse. Local governments have been pushing for years to get more money from the state, and they will finally get it. The shared revenue plan will send hundreds of millions of dollars to local governments across the state for police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and for road projects. The groups say the money will pay for the ‘essential services that citizens will demand.’
