Milwaukee County supervisors are demanding a full investigation into a newly revealed $4.6 million budget error.
The County Board unanimously approved the review after learning that County Executive David Crowley’s administration knew about the shortfall weeks before Tuesday’s election.
Budget officials blame the calculation discrepancy on a new automated system, but critics call the delayed public disclosure a political move.
Supervisors say the review is essential to restore public trust following the adoption of next year’s $1.5 billion budget.
