WCTC Board Votes for 3.8% Tax Increase

Great.  Another unelected board decides to jack up taxes. 

Although not without opposition, Waukesha County Technical College trustees have given administrators the go-ahead to boost property taxes more than $2 million next year.

If implemented, the budget strategy would constitute a 3.8% tax increase and would raise property tax collections to nearly $59 million in Waukesha County and surrounding areas.

In planning for the 2009 budget, administrators presented trustees with a variety of options that included tax increases ranging from 3% to the approved 3.8%, or a difference of about $400,000.

Trustees endorsed the largest tax increase on a 6-2 vote Tuesday, with Trustee Barbara Soto-Ryan joining Neill in opposition.
