Three months later, after safely securing another 4 years in office, these aldermen are now supporting a $20 wheel tax in the city of Milwaukee. How convenient.
Nik Kovac won by only 71 votes. Do you think the election might have turned out different if Kovac had announced support for a $20 wheel tax BEFORE April 1?
Milwaukee aldermen are just like Milwaukee County Supervisors. The only solution they can offer for anything is a tax increase. City taxpayers will get hit with a double whammy if the county sales tax hike gets approved.
