Madison City Council approves $22M property tax referendum to address budget gap and maintain essential services.

Madison City Council approved a $22 million property tax referendum for November ballot to close the city's budget gap, avoid major service cuts, and maintain essential services. If passed, the referendum would increase the average tax bill by $230. An alternative $29 million referendum proposal was rejected due to concerns over countering misinformation among constituents. The city faces potential service cuts if alternative measures are not taken.
