Without more revenue, Milwaukee County has said it faces major cuts to services like buses and parks. But its new tax hike also means higher prices for goods and services. On Thursday, shortly after the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors voted 15-3 to approve the 0.4% sales tax increase, Rebecca Adams took her daughters to Kosciuszko Park. "Just needed to relax, take in some fresh air. And this is a free place to come, so I love coming to the park," said Adams. She said if the tax bump means preserving more parks, she's behind it.
