Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich proposes his last and largest city budget

(This story has been updated to add new information.) Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich has proposed his last city budget, suggesting a $149.6 million fund for expenses in 2027. It would be the city’s largest budget to date to cover the growing costs of public services that have worried officials about their reliance on property taxes. The proposal would grow the city’s overall spending by about 4% from 2026, a faster rate of change than 2025-2026 and slower than the years immediately following the city’s revaluation done in 2022. Property taxes would rise modestly. Genrich posed a tax rate of $8.62 for every $1,000 of assessed property value, a 3% rise from 2026. For a property estimated at $250,000, the owner would pay $2,155 in taxes for city services, or about $62 more than 2026, not including other tax bill items, like county, school district and technical college taxes unaffected by the city’s budget. In all, the city would collect $75.6 million in levied property taxes, including tax increment districts. This would be about 3.6% greater than the $72.9 million levied in 2026.

Seymour schools face budget cuts after vote fails

Seymour Schools face potential budget cuts after a $15 million operational referendum failed Nov. 3. The district's unofficial results showed 2,354 votes in favor of the referendum, about 46% of voters, and 2,812 opposed, about 54%. The referendum would have replaced one from 2024, which allowed the district to increase its taxing authority by $5 million a year for three years. The funding would have gone to maintaining programs, buildings and services for students, as well as keeping down class sizes and paying staff a competitive wage, according to district communications. District administrator Kellie Bohn attributed the referendum failure to rising living costs. "It's a tough fiscal time ... all over the state," Bohn said. "I'm confident that we have a lot of support for our schools in our communities, even if it didn't translate into 'yes' votes." "The challenge of all the inflationary expenses just makes people hesitant on approving a referendum, even though our mill rate was going to drop and our levy was going to stabilize," she added. According to data from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction , Seymour's tax rate was $7.97 per $1,000 of equalized property value in the 2025-26 school year, down from
