The Milwaukee Post

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee County Board, by a 17-1 vote, adopted the 2019 Milwaukee County budget that includes a $294,395,459 levy, a 0.54 percent increase over the 2018 levy. The budget is still open to vetoes from County Executive Chris Abele. The County Board will meet Monday after any vetoes. Among the amendments the board passed Monday is a plan to preserve funding for a transit route to key job sites. County Board Chairman Theodore Lipscomb Sr. called it "a balanced and responsi- ble budget that preserves essential services for our citi- zens and signals a new era of collaboration on Milwaukee County's biggest challenges." He said a balanced budget becomes more difficult each year due to state limits on revenue. "I'm looking for- ward to working with County Executive Abele as we seek a Fair Deal with the State of Wisconsin that provides long term stability for county tax- payers," Lipscomb, said in a news release. Supervisor James "Luigi" Schmitt, who chairs the Committee on Finance and Audit, said, "The current level of cooperation between the Abele administration and the County Board is unprece- dented and made it much eas- ier to get this budget done." Among the amendments was one to double the pro- posed pay increase for county employees from 1 percent to 2 percent. Other amendments include buying up to 15 battery elec- tric buses and pre- s e r v i n g f u n d i n g for the c o u n t y T r a n s i t S y s t e m bus serv- ice previ- o u s l y c a l l e d JobLines.
