Taxpayers Benefitting From Walker’s Reforms

Awesome.

Public schools in Green County decreased their total levies by 4.24 percent compared to their total levies last year. The seven school districts are levying $29.9 million, about $1.3 million less than $31.2 million levied for 2010-2011.

In Lafayette County, the schools dropped their total levy 3.5 percent, or $450,000. The seven school districts there will raise an aggregate $12.4 million in taxes for 2011-2012, compared to $12.9 million for the previous school year.

And in the past…

In the five subsequent years since 2005-06, annual school tax increases have averaged about 5.5 percent in the state. In Green County, the tax increases averaged 6.5 percent annually, and in Lafayette County, about 8.83 percent.

Incidentally, I had lunch in Monroe today. No Mexican restaurant should ever be designed with a single-seater crapper.

1. If you’re eating Mexican food that is so bad that you’re worried about a single crapper at the resturaunt, I think you have bigger problems.  Even bad mexican food takes a few hours to get to the light at the end of the tunnel.

2. Eating food from illegals again!  Thought you were smarter than that.

3. Good to see that taxpayers are benefiting from this. How much will this adversely effect education though? Having lived in the US for a couple of years, I was amazed by the facilities and the amount of money spent on education. I also miss Taco Bell (although that can’t be classed as a restaurant!)
