What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A resident criticized the state government for leaving local communities to manage the effects of inflation, including rising costs for health insurance, wages, fuel, and food. The criticism noted that over 60 school districts across Wisconsin are holding referendums in November due in part to these financial pressures. For example, schools in Whitewater are asking for a $5.5 million pledge, representing a $1.1 million increase over current funding.
