Bits and pieces....

What building goes up, will always come down to one question. How is it going to be paid for?

Budget and redevelopment issues regarding downtown redevelopment and the proposed Five Rivers Resorts were the most heated issues discussed in the Primary Oshkosh Common Council candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters Thursday.

A large base for budget concerns regarding development is the recent income tax free imposed by the state of Wisconsin.



"We don't need pretty buildings because we can't afford it," Esslinger said.
"Yay, I love building things," Castle said.

"I don't know what's going on," Bogden said.





Candidates Forum. Primary Election Candidates Forum. Oshkosh Area School Board at 7:00 pm, Oshkosh City Council at 8:00 pm; Winnebago County Circuit Court Branch 4 Judge at 9:00 pm. Broadcast live by Oshkosh Community Access Television CitiCable 10 and WOCT 109.1 FM, Oshkosh
7:00 - 9:30 pm Oshkosh City Hall, 215 Church Ave.


In lieu of the recent property tax freeze for the state of Wisconsin, how can Oshkosh make progress when now we need to keep an close eye on the city budget?

What are the biggest concerns relating to this?

Staff cuts to save money?

Street Repair?
Downtown Development?
