GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) Brown County’s sales tax, which has been used to fund projects like the Resch Expo, will be under the microscope of the state Supreme Court this year.
The court has agreed to hear the legal challenge against the tax brought by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. That group argues that the sales tax is being used illegally as sales tax dollars can only be used to reduce the property tax levy.
“Unfortunately Brown County is not using its sales tax to directly reduce the property tax levy,” said Deputy Counsel Anthony LoCoco. “It’s using it to fund $147 million worth of brand new spending.”
County Executive Troy Streckenbach plans to use sales tax revenue to fund more than $100 million in projects, from expanding the county jail on Green Bay s far-east side to providing $5 million of the $15 million cost of a science, technology, engineering and math building at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, to creating a local office for the county s medical examiner, who is based in Dane County.
The executive says the plan saves money for property owners, and that not all of those projects could have been built if the county had to borrow for construction costs.
Brown County Board members approved the sales tax in 2017. County Circuit Judge John Zakowski last year ruled in favor of the county in an initial round of the suit.
Legal group presses Madison schools over racially segregated parents’ Zoom call Benjamin Yount, The Center Square © Provided by Washington Examiner
Madison’s superintendent is being asked to explain the thinking behind a recent Zoom call with parents that was segregated by race.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty on Monday sent Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Dr. Carlton Jenkins a letter questioning the call, and the decision to split parents into “Parents of Color” and “White Parents.”
“On April 23, 2021, we became aware of an email originating from the Madison Metropolitan School District directed to families of Madison West High School. The email invites parents to a conversation related to ‘all the police brutality and violence that is going on.’,” the letter stated.
