Test Your Tax Knowledge...
A group named The Wisconsin Way sent an email today that had the following test of tax knowledge. I'll re-publish this tomorrow with the answers added so you can check yours.
True or False:
-
Property taxes pay for most of the costs of the K-12 public schools in Wisconsin.
-
Wisconsin taxpayers pay more of their personal income toward state and local taxes today than they did 10 years ago.
-
Wisconsin collects more money from sales taxes than it does from gasoline taxes and corporate taxes combined.

School Board Meeting Tonight...
The Board of Education meeting convenes at 7:00 PM tonight in the District Administrative Offices and agenda item VIII. B. "Discussion with appropriate action regarding secession from the MATC district" is included under "Unfinished Business".
This is an important topic and I'll cover the discussion and any public action tomorrow in another Village Buzz edition.

Sendik's: Beehive of activity...
If you've not been past the new Sendik's facility during the day, it is a beehive of activity. The crews working on this project have consumed most of the parking spaces in front of the building. If they don't make their target opening date, it won't be for lack of trying!

Thomas Square Bread Bagels...
Believe it or not, the George Weston Bakeries company responded by mail to my question about Thomas Square Bread Bagels. Unfortunately, they told me that these are not currently available apparently anywhere in the U.S. They didn't say 'never', so I'll continue to hope. I wonder what the problem is that is keeping those off the market. They sold very quickly. Could it be that they stepped on another firm's exclusive process or something along those lines? Or, is the cost of production so great today that they simply didn't think they could sell them?
If you find out, please let me know.
