Just got a letter from the city of Milwaukee and I see that the

The Gov. Walker certainly did not keep his campaign promise of lower
taxes...the increase is no better/ no worse than under Democratic
governors. Were the increase going to help maintain the educational
systems within the state I could deal with it.

In our state the State government and the governor have nothing to do
with property taxes. The rate is set by the town and all money goes
tot he town.

Since your letter is from the City of Milwaukee, shouldn't your bitch
be with the mayor?


According to http://city.milwaukee.gov/Frequently...99.htm#FAQ8_Q1

his City tax bill pays for Milwaukee's school system, no money goes to
the State ( except some Forestry fund)



Yep

and it we had a good school system I'd be all for it...
except the school system is being gutted.
