Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Tiffany has criticized Crowley's record as county executive in Milwaukee County, noting that under his tenure, property taxes were raised by $9 million and the county sales tax was nearly doubled. Tiffany contrasts this record with his own plans to cut taxes if elected governor.
