West Bend would shoulder one of the biggest state cuts

The largest cut in state shared revenue payments to municipalities in Ozaukee and Washington counties, and the 16th largest statewide, under Gov. Scott Walker's proposed 2011-13 budget will be borne by West Bend.
The city will receive $535,421 less in shared revenue payments in 2012 than it did this year, under the proposed state budget. Shared revenue payments generally are used to help communities reduce property tax levies.
Savings that will come from city employees contributing more to pensions amount to $498,000 in 2012, or $37,421 less than the shared revenue cut, according to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.

WTF, I thought under the Walker plan we were going to be money ahead.  And here I was planning on having my taxes going down.  It sounds like Scooter is bullshitting us taxpayers.

To makeup for the $37,421 we're going to be short I think our local officials should take pay cuts.  Once they balance our budget and then reduce our tax burden they can think about raising their pay.
