By Mayor Dave Ross
It’s time for real change. I have the privilege to be Mayor of Superior, a beautiful lakeside community in northwest Wisconsin. Before I ran for office the city was on a spending spree, debt service was over 10% of our budget and tax rates were on track to rise substantially over the next several years.
While state government has increased debt since 2003, we have reduced the debt of the City of Superior. While the state government bond rating has declined since 2003, the City of Superior’s bond rating has improved. While state taxes and fees have increased dramatically since 2003, we have kept tax increases in Superior to less than the rate of inflation.
