This Public Policy Forum Budget Preview is the latest in a series of Forum research reports examining the fiscal and structural challenges facing Milwaukee County government. In addition to publishing annual budget briefs analyzing the county executive’s recommended budget and a 2011 Budget Preview last July, the Forum produced a comprehensive fiscal assessment in March 2009 entitled “Milwaukee County’s Fiscal Condition: Crisis on the Horizon?”; and a study of structural reform possibilities in January 2010 entitled “Should it Stay or Should it Go?”
