Jim "Craps" Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale), as quoted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in July 2005 – ""˜The result of the freeze that I will sign will be that the average property tax on the average home will not go up at all next year, and will actually go down $5′ in December 2006."
Proposed city of Milwaukee 2007 budget tax levy increase – 3.3%
You suckers in the city of Milwaukee better hope that the County Board doesn’t listen to the Journtinel editorial board, and then adopts the 5th-consecutive no-levy-increase Walker budget proposal, due Thursday. MATC has a 5% levy increase, MPS has a 3% levy increase, and MMSD has a 3% levy increase (with much more promised in 2008 and subsequent years) already lined up for you.
