Citizen’s Guide to Wisconsin Cities and Villages
Municipal government is all around us. While many of us encounter some aspect of municipal government daily, people are often confused about what services cities and villages provide and how they are funded. The League of Wisconsin Municipalities maintains a guide to city and village government in Wisconsin. It provides basic information about how municipal government is organized and funded, and how it differs from other local governments. Access to the guide is available here.
