City awaits new state budget MILWAUKEE, WI (wuwm) - The legislature will attempt to pass a budget tomorrow. It's nearly 4-months late. Local governments are waiting anxiously and in some cases furiously. They're within days of having to pass their own budgets which are dependent on state aid and revenue limits. City budget director Mark Nicolini told WUWM's Marge Pitrof that it appears Milwaukee will not get the increase it hoped for to hold-down property taxes and improve services, particularly within the police department.
