🏛️ Government
The City of Racine and RYDE Racine said they will keep transit services fair for everyone even after a letter on April 24 from U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asked for changes to federal funding rules — city officials confirmed they will follow all state and federal laws.
Racine Unified explained that the referendum will cost property owners about $35 extra per year for every $100,000 in assessed value because the district qualifies for more state aid with its lower property value per student.
Officials said local tax costs stayed nearly flat while state aid will increase from 32% to 38% next year.
