Two candidates vying for Waukesha County District 18 seat acknowledge tough budget choices

WAUKESHA - In the realm of Waukesha County Board's District 18, any discussion about the candidates for office can't fully separate itself from issues that pertain to Waukesha, the city.

But the county supervisor's seat is also couched in the middle of some heady Waukesha County issues, particularly a growing concern about a government budget that faces the kind of challenge not typical in this realm: a crisis of spending far exceeding expected revenues. Now add a dose of societal problems, such as opioid addiction.
