Today, members of the Common Council voted in favor of implementing a 2% City sales tax. This will avert drastic cuts and take us from the path to insolvency.

With this vote behind us, it’s time to look to the future and strategize how best we can utilize our revenues to improve the lives of all Milwaukeeans.

We look forward to working on a City of Milwaukee budget that doesn’t begin with a deficit and we can conclude with a major investment.
