Voters in one northwestern Wisconsin community will see a family tax hike question on the ballot next month. St. Croix County is once again asking for nearly 900 thousand-dollars to hire eight new public safety positions.
Not all of them will be deputies, the county is also looking to hire people in its Health & Human Services department, the D.A.’s office, and at the clerk’s office. Voters rejected a similar question last year. St. Croix County leaders hope to have better luck this time around.
