We have to bring that to a responsible close because we cannot meet our kids needs if we are trying to fund two parallel school systems. Thank you. So the revenue limits on schools are 2003 and 12 years later. 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. (03:13–03:24)
