The Milwaukee County Board on Thursday voted 15-3 to nearly double the county sales tax as part of a bipartisan Wisconsin funding plan to prevent deep cuts to services and avoid potential bankruptcy.
The vote comes after the 2% city sales tax increase was passed earlier this month.
Estimates say it would bring in $7 million in revenue to the county each month.
The tax will go into effect on January 1.
