Board urges state to fund county courts, approves $70 million ask in resolution
Summary
The County Board unanimously approved Resolution 108 urging Governor Evers and the Wisconsin Legislature to add $70 million in the 2025-27 state budget for circuit court operations and amended one line to specify the 'Kenosha County legislative delegation.'
Kenosha County's Board of Supervisors unanimously passed Resolution 108, urging Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Legislature to appropriate $70 million in the 2025-27 state budget to support circuit court operations across the state and requesting specific outreach to the county's legislative delegation.
Supervisor Morrissey moved the resolution and Supervisor Kirby seconded. Morrissey said the legislative committee had endorsed the measure unanimously. Supervisor Decker successfully moved a floor amendment to insert the word "County" into a line referencing the legislative delegation so the text reads "members of the Kenosha County legislative delegation." That amendment passed without recorded opposition. The amended resolution then passed unanimously.
Ending: The resolution formally requests state appropriations for circuit court operations and clarifies the intended recipients of the county's request to include Kenosha County's legislative delegation.
