The cities of Madison and Brookfield don t have a lot in common.
Even so, their mayors are joining together to call on the state to pump more money back into municipalities.
It s an issue Brookfield Mayor Steve Ponto cares deeply about. It s very important, I think, to have cities that are an attractive place to be, Ponto said.

Ponto isn t necessarily worried about his own city in the short term.
Brookfield has had lots of recent development. The tax base is large.

Waukesha s decision comes a week after the Waukesha County Health Department released new recommendations May 6 that its K-12 schools relax their COVID-19 quarantine guidelines for students and staff if certain conditions are met.
Several area districts are considering the same question or have already decided on it. Here s a breakdown of what we know so far. Districts are listed alphabetically and include those in the coverage area of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in southeast Wisconsin.
