In an effort to assist CMNNA residents, we have compiled a list of resources to help you make an informed decision on the two upcoming budget referenda.
While not all encompassing, the resources range from local government websites, the local Chamber of Commerce and the Wisconsin Policy Forum, a nonpartisan policy research organization. The CMNNA takes no position on either referendum.
