The highs and lows of Crowley's tenure as Milwaukee County executive
Here are highlights of David Crowley's record as Milwaukee County executive, on taxes, accomplishments and missteps. David Crowley, the Democratic candidate for governor in Milwaukee County, has faced scrutiny over his tenure as county executive. His tenure includes an increase in property taxes for Milwaukee County residents, health care contract missteps, and a deficit from the transit agency. Despite these challenges, Democrats praise his ability to save the county from a dire fiscal future, bolstering health, equity and core services, and fighting for Milwaukee on the state level. He also credits bipartisan passage of Wisconsin Act 12 in 2023 for stabilizing county finances. The bill increased shared revenue streams to counties and municipalities statewide and enabled an increase of the Milwaukee County sales tax from 0.4% to 0.9%. Despite these efforts, Crowley's proposed budget for 2027 includes a 2.6% increase in the county property tax levy.
