    Madison, WI
    Budget

    The 2026 Executive Operating Budget for the City of Madison funds essential municipal services including street maintenance, library services, police and fire protection, small business support, and parks management. Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway emphasizes that a recently approved resident referendum will provide critical additional revenue to help overcome state-imposed restrictions on local government funding, allowing the city to maintain current service levels and address emerging priorities while keeping tax increases to historically low levels. The mayor notes ongoing structural budget challenges stemming from state limitations on local revenue sources and calls for community input during the Finance Committee and Common Council deliberation period.
