Since 2013, Neylon said the state has lowered income taxes by $423.6 mil- lion, but the perception is they remain high. He also feels that property taxes in Wisconsin, which are some of the highest in the coun- try, are a burden for home- ownership. He said the high- er taxes on businesses are also a detriment to Wiscon- sin's success. He also hears that small businesses are negatively affected by regulations. "I think the major regula- tion hurdles right now, a lot of it comes from Oba- macare, a lot of it comes from federal rules and regu- lations, but that is not always clear to people," he said. "I'm going to do every- thing to cut the red tape before it strangles us." When it comes to crime, Neylon said he thinks there is concern that inner-city crime will spill over to Waukesha County, for which there is no easy answer. "I think what happens in Milwaukee affects what hap- pens in Waukesha County. I don't think we can really just hone in on keeping Waukesha County streets safe; we need to look at how we can do a better job of keeping everywhere in the state safe and reduce crime in every community," Ney- lon said. Going forward, Neylon said he wants to take a focused approach to improv- ing educational opportuni- ties in Wisconsin and reduc- ing hindering regulations. "I don't believe in just say- ing let's increase funding by 10 percent — that's not a good goal. I think we should increase opportunities for robotics. I think we should increase opportunities for computer science. I think we should increase the amount of STEM schools there are for children to choose and their families to choose to send them to," he said. "I think really pinpointing educational needs and doing what we can to improve opportunities and to grow those opportunities in Wis- consin is a priority of mine."

How about taking the fam- ily to enjoy a film in the great outdoors? Four Waukesha County munici- palities are offering options for doing just that. Hartland and Delafield Hartland and Delafield are showing three movies out- side during August in their joint outdoor family movie series. At 8 p.m. Aug. 4, "Inside Out" will play at the Fine Arts Center in Nixon Park, 175 E. Park Ave. in Hartland. "The Good Dinosaur" is being shown at 8 p.m. Aug. 18, also at Nixon Park. The film will be preceded by a magic show with David See- bach at 6:30 p.m. Delafield assumes hosting duties at 8 p.m. Aug. 25 with the showing of "Minions" at Cushing Memorial Park, 600 N. Cushing Park Road. Kelli Yogerst, Hartland recreation director, also does programming for Delafield and heads up the film series. "A lot of people come," Yogerst said of the films. "They enjoy it, and it's free. It's time with the family. It's just something to do to get people out and get families together." Yogerst started with Hart- land in 2012, and brought outdoor movies to the com- munity in 2013. The films are supported by a lengthy list of sponsors, who assist with everything from help- ing secure viewing rights to acquiring equipment. Oconomowoc Moonlit Movies Oconomowoc's Moonlit Movies are a staple of Lake Country outdoor entertain- ment. The community has shown a movie each month in June, July and August for the last 10 years. The series started June 16 with a show- ing of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" at dusk in Fowler Park, 438 N. Oakwood Ave. The series continues on July 14, and the film will again be shown at dusk in Fowler Park. Fans and would-be spectators can vote for the film to be shown on the Facebook page of Moon- lit Movies. The page is easily accessed by typing "Moonlit Movies, Oconomowoc" in the search bar on one's Facebook page. The Aug. 18 edition of Moonlit Movies will be shown at dusk in downtown Oconomowoc, and the September 10 edition will be shown at dusk in the Village Green. Monday Night at the Movies in Waukesha Waukesha's summer film series is an option for per- haps the slowest of summer evenings — Monday. Waukesha's Monday Night at the Movies film series is shown at the Les Paul Performance Center in Cutler Park, 321 Wisconsin Ave. Three films in the series — "Singing in the Rain," "American Graffiti" and "Minions" — have already been shown. The next installment in the series is "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" on June 27. After a break for the Fourth of July, the series resumes July 11 with "Grease," followed by "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" on July 18 and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on July 25. "Aladdin" is being shown on Aug. 1, and moviegoers will be off the see the Wiz- ard with the "The Wizard of Oz" on Aug. 8. The series comes to an end Aug. 15 with "The Good Dinosaur" All films begin at 8 p.m. Your own outdoor theater If you'd rather not leave the comfort of home you can show films in your back- yard, on the side of your house or garage. "There's different things you have to consider," Yogerst said. "You have to make sure you have the right equipment. Then there's the angle of the screen, the sunset, and just how to set everything up so everyone can see it and is comfortable." Showing a movie outside at home is not as difficult as you might think. The projec- tion and sound units present the biggest obstacles, but a large, white sheet can suf- fice as a screen. The popularity of show- ing movies outdoors in recent years means the Internet is filled with tips from do-it-yourselfers. Feel free to search for best prac- tices, and prepare to turn your backyard into the Bijou or Rialto.
