• Muskego referendum: Police, fire on November ballot (fox6now.com) — Muskego residents will vote in November on a $5.9 million public safety referendum that would significantly increase police and fire staffing and raise property taxes about $500 a year on a median-valued home. The plan would move Tess Corners toward full-time fire coverage and add patrol officers and a dispatcher. City Hall is hosting several public information sessions so you can ask questions directly.
