"To all of our volunteers, my friends and family: thank you, truly.

Marinette voters narrowly approve $68 million school facilities referendum

MARINETTE — In a dramatic, razor-thin decision on Tuesday, voters in the Marinette School District approved a major $68 million capital facilities referendum. The measure passed by an incredibly slim margin of just 40 votes, with 2,703 votes in favor and 2,663 votes against, or 50.4% to 49.6%. Marinette School District officials were asking voters to approve up to $68 million in general obligation bonds for improvements at the middle and high schools, citing aging infrastructure and learning spaces that have become increasingly difficult and costly to maintain. District officials said needs identified in a previous $48 million failed referendum effort had not gone away, while inflation and additional needs had raised costs. At the middle school, plans target wings built in 1921 and 1961 and includes additions and renovations for career and technical education, art, music, student services and shared spaces. Work will modernize cramped, disconnected classrooms and workshops, improve supervision and collaboration, replace aging piping, electrical and ventilation systems and upgrade heating and cooling with air conditioning. The proposal also includes playground equipment and accessibility changes. At the high school, renovations would update wood, metal and automotive shops, music areas, science labs, locker rooms, restrooms and the auditorium.

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.
