Wisconsin adopted municipal levy limits and then tightened them again in 2011 so that most cities and villages can only increase their levy based on net new construction growth, regardless of inflation or rising service costs. Just as an example, Glendale is a landlocked, fully developed city. So I don't have a cornfield I can annex to build a new subdivision. So my net new construction is usually less than a half a percent anyway. So the question then, many local officials argue that this has created structural deficits in local government. (03:26–03:33)
