LeMahieu Statement On Shared Revenue
LeMahieu Statement On Shared Revenue
“The Senate and Assembly have put forth a good faith effort to reach a deal with the Governor on
shared revenue and provide financial stability for the City and County of Milwaukee. Today we
made our last, best offer to the Governor. If an agreement is not reached today, the Senate will
pursue a shared revenue proposal that does not include an option for Milwaukee to raise additional
sales tax revenue.
“The offer we put forth is fair. It is a product of months of work and negotiations. The Governor
has a chance to save Wisconsin’s largest city and most populous county from bankruptcy. We hope
he takes it.
“After today, the legislature will turn its focus to the 2023-25 biennial budget.”
