County governments say the state has tied their hands so firmly when it comes to raising revenue, they need to implement ideas like a wheel tax. Dane County officials say they need that revenue to provide services. State lawmakers have another take. They want local governments to put revenue-raising items like a wheel tax before the voters. The senate bill (Bill-625) would require those governments to ask permission in the form of a referendum first. A public hearing on the legislation was held Thursday at the Capitol. More than two dozen state municipalities use a wheel tax to raise revenue currently.
