Milwaukee Co. looking at projected $28 million deficit

by

MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) - Milwaukee County has made deep spending cuts and shifted a lot of pension and health care costs onto its workers. Despite that, the county still faces a projected $28 million shortfall next year, which could grow to $92 million in the next five years. County number crunchers say the deficit is causing by growing health care costs, a continued heavy burden from the pension and the expectation of no additional state or federal aid. Some county officials are talking about a tax increase – sales or property – but that isn’t on the way for next year, yet.
