$2,268,565 million and avoiding a significant increase in our debt and structural deficit,” County Executive Abele said. “If the Supervisors sustain my vetoes, the 2015 Adopted Budget will put Milwaukee County in a stronger and more sustainable position next year and in future years.” Abele Proposes Budget Compromise

MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele announced his vetoes of the County Board’s changes to his 2015 Budget. As part of a significant compromise with Supervisors, County Executive Abele approved the majority of the Board’s 59 amendments and, through the veto process, he is proposing compromises that will improve services and lower property taxes.

“The budget I am returning to the County Board strikes a significant compromise while also improving services, lowering taxes by $2,268,565 million and avoiding a significant increase in our debt and structural deficit, County Executive Abele said. “If the Supervisors my vetoes, the 2015 Adopted Budget  will put Milwaukee County in a stronger and more sustainable position next year and in future years.”
