But voters in two school districts – Oconomowoc and Palmyra-Eagle – rejected their referendums.

Brown Deer School District voters approve operational and capital referendums Operational referendum Yes: 2,985, 51.23% No: 2,842, 48.77% Capital referendum Yes: 3,025, 52.26% No: 2,763, 47.74% The district will receive $2.8 million annually for five years, starting in the 2026-27 school year and ending in the 2030-31 school year, for a total of $14 million, for operational expenses.

Computer error leaves major city $4 million in the hole for the upcoming year

Your browser does not support the video tag. Oops. A computer error has Milwaukee County, Wisconsin , facing a $4.56 million hole in its proposed 2027 budget . The problem came to light Wednesday, just one day after County Executive David Crowley defeated Republican Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin's gubernatorial race. The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors is set to vote on that budget Thursday. The shortfall stems from a switch to an automated system for handling some budget calculations that were previously done by hand. A mistake in the system's formula reversed the positive and negative signs on two financial entries involving the county airport, throwing off its budget projections. The error affected two accounts tied to Milwaukee County's airport budget. The system incorrectly calculated a $4.49 million airport depreciation contribution and about $2.21 million in airport revenue from reserves, making it appear the county would save $4.6 million more in property taxes than it actually would, according to WISN . That left a $4.6 million hole in the county's proposed $1.5 billion budget for 2027. The budget error was revealed a day after County Executive David Crowley’s victory over Republican Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin's gubernatorial race (Reuters) The missing
