the tax RATE did NOT increase at all, on the state level..how the LOCALS adjust the rate to the LOCAL school budget is a LOCAL issue...
you are grasping at straws
walker will stay
Many local areas in WI had no choice but to raise property taxes to offset the massive cuts from state funding. So this way those who own a home but have a fixed income (senior citizens), directly pay for these cuts. How does that method work for you?

strange, our property taxes went down in our county, plus we did not renew any of the levy's that democrats were crying for either.

wrong
they raised the levies because of the descreasing property values
and the seniors get massive credits off their property taxes (here in NY we call it star)
walker has NOTHING to do with property taxes
Municipal tax rates are based on the total value of all taxable property in each municipality, also known as the tax base. Because local assessors are responsible for determining the property values for their jurisdictions, total assessed value across municipalities and counties is not a uniform measure. To bring all values to a uniform level comparable across jurisdictions, the state equalizes assessed values by using tools such as market sales analysis, random appraisals, and local assessors’ reports. Equalized values, calculated yearly, are meant to reflect fair market value (the most probable selling price).
The tax levy is the amount of money that each taxing jurisdiction (county, municipality, school district, technical college district, tax increment finance district, special district and the state) budgets to receive from property taxes. Levies were decided late in 2010 for 2011 budgets. To calculate the tax rate as a mill rate, each government divides the levy by the total property value (tax base) in its jurisdiction and multiplies the result by 1,000. This calculation allows property tax payments to be distributed evenly among taxpayers according to individual property values.
Because each property taxpayer lives within several taxing jurisdictions, the various tax rates are added together to arrive at the gross tax rate. It is important to note that in this report, when the gross tax rate or levy for a particular county is referenced, it does not refer to the rate or levy attributable to county government in that county, but to the aggregate total of all taxing jurisdictions in the county (including the county government). Also, the net tax rate that determines each taxpayer’s payment differs from the gross rate in that the net rate results from subtracting the state tax credit from the gross tax rate. Taxpayers can determine their individual payment by dividing their property value by 1,000 and multiplying the resulting number by the net tax rate.
With declining property values in the region and state, the only way that local government officials can continue to grow their tax levies is to raise the tax rates. It is not surprising, therefore, that every municipality in southeast Wisconsin had an increase in the gross tax rate from 2010 to 2011. The aggregate gross tax rate in southeast Wisconsin was $21.58 per $1,000 of assessed value, $1.22 higher than in 2010. The aggregate gross tax rate for all municipalities in the state is $20.90 this year.
The annual change in one’s property tax bill reflects not only a change in the property tax rate, but also any change in the assessed value of one’s home. A decrease in the assessed value of one’s home, however, may not translate into a lower tax bill. That is because taxes are determined by applying the tax rate to the assessed value of the home, which means an increased tax rate may outweigh the loss in assessed value and produce a larger tax bill from one year to the next.
In 2011, the region saw only a 1.5% increase in its gross aggregate property tax levy – well below the 10-year average of 4.3% and the lowest annual increase since at least 2000.

Let me get this straight. In Walkers's kingdom, property values went down however, the rate went up. Most people I know in WI will be paying in more actual dollars even though their property value went down. Nice!

Walker acted as if he were king of the Capitol and tried to restrict the rights of others.
Quote:
The courts will, ultimately, reject Gov. Scott Walker’s latest attempt to stifle dissent: a scheme to require permits, charge fees and otherwise limit access to the Capitol by those who do not happen to be paid lobbyists.
But the problem of this governor, or any governor, treating the Capitol as his or her private palace needs to be addressed.
yes I did read it..even posted many para's from it
did you read ALL of it??????
did you even UNDERSTAND what you posted
the SCHOOL levy (which included the INCREASE of PENSIONS and saleries for SCHOOL personell) was the main driver behind the regions increase in tax levy

we have been cutting funding FROM THE STATE here too,,,YOUR (district) schools are not STATE schools and should be funded by the DISTRICT
walker is doing a good job
to bad YOU (jojajn) have to start a BOO-HOO TROLL thread just because you dont like a republican who is doing a good job

WRONG!!!!! I don't know what they do in NY......just as you clearly have no idea what we actually do here in WI.....but seniors do NOT get credits...massive or otherwise....off our property taxes. I am a senior and believe me, I would know if there were any credits available on my property taxes.
Thanks to Walker, I'll be paying more for less. Our small city had to lay off 20 police and firefighters. We had to lay off dozens of teachers and teachers aides that helped handicapped students. We had to lay off public works personnel that clear the snow and pick up trash. And of course the loss of those jobs has impacted us through the loss of the service they provided as well as the loss of their buying power.
