Wauwatosa Considers Fee To Pay For Fixing Roads

Wauwatosa city leaders are considering a 30-dollar wheel tax as a way to pay for needed repairs on local roads.  Car owners already pay a $75 state registration fee and a 30-dollar Milwaukee County registration fee each year.  That would go up by almost 29 percent.  A public hearing will be held in October and the Wauwatosa City Council could vote on the new fee in November.  The proposed tax would raise an estimated $800,000 a year.
