This Underrated Wisconsin City Is Where Gen Z Can Actually Afford Their First Dream Home

Nobody talks about Racine, Wisconsin the way they should, and honestly, that’s been working out just fine for the people who already live there. Racine is sitting on the western shore of Lake Michigan, doing its thing, while the rest of the country argues about housing prices and wonders why homeownership feels like a fantasy.

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

Cirrus Plans Germantown Rental Development

Carillon at Germantown is a proposed rental development by Cirrus Property Group. The firm also has a project underway in Grafton. The Germantown development has been described with differing unit counts in public records and reporting. A site plan application filed with the village identifies Daniel Hasbani of Cirrus Property Group as agent for Tanner Hahn of Faith Lutheran Church and describes the project as a 36-unit multifamily development at W172N11187 Division Road. A Milwaukee Business Journal report from January similarly characterized the plan as a 36-unit rental project. But a BizTimes report on the same church-partnered proposal described it as a 42-unit apartment community, and the available records do not clarify whether the project's size changed between filings or whether the two accounts refer to different versions of the plan.
